"My fans are some of the most creative people I know, so with their help I want them using their own analog photography to represent some of the cities on the Tour. The best photos will then be featured in my program that will be available at all the shows on the Night of Hunters Tour,” said Tori Amos. “We have chosen just 10 of the many great cities we will be visiting to take inspiration from and I am really looking forward to seeing the results and having some fun picking the winning shots.”
No matter where in the world you are, a little bit of one of these cities can be found everywhere. Get inspired by the characteristics of these cities and take part in the global Inspiration City Competition which will take place from July 5th – August 15th on the Lomography website. 100 exclusive TORI Limited Edition Diana F+ cameras will go to the best 10 submissions per city while the lomographers with the best individual inspirational city photos will have their image published and credited in the Tori Amos tour book.

Ha! I read that in the liner notes of Big Blacks Songs About Fucking! I wonder what Albini thinks about Tori's camp stealing that slogan?
