If our dedication to the science and beautiful techniques of Colorsplashing could be measured in uncut 35mm film, you’d find that it would encircle the globe upwards of 25 times. With Lomographers all across the world aiming their lenses and firing a colored flash burst at any and every given opportunity, you can truly call the act of Colorsplashing a bona-fide human mass-movement. But this begs an important question: where does the motivation and inspiration for all of this hyperactivity stem from?

To find out, we’ve teamed up with our good friends Staple Design. This brilliant crew of designers and visionaries will collaborate with us to research, catalog, and present the seven basic spiritual forces – chakras – of Colorsplashing. Simply defined, a chakra is a base power located inside of your body. It governs a specific set of emotions, responses, and even physical organs. Running from your above your head to below your waist, these seven awesome forces can control your colorsplashing and quest for subject matter through the power of their specific Colorsplash Camera & Flash color gels:

PURPLE COLORSPLASH CHAKRA
Peace, tranquility, and closeness

BLUE COLORSPLASH CHAKRA
Music, nightlife, parties, and gatherings

GREEN COLORSPLASH CHAKRA
Nature, Life, and Animals

YELLOW COLORSPLASH CHAKRA
Activities, diversions, and sports

ORANGE COLORSPLASH CHAKRA
Consumption, eating, buying, and collecting

RED COLORSPLASH CHAKRA
Sex, Passion, Love, and Strength

Over the next several months, we’ll collect all of our data, images, and no-holds-barred personal introspection into the “Colorsplash Chakra Guide” – a hardcover-bound book and spiritual guide to Colorsplash enlightenment.
