Lomography seems like a pretty interesting photography style.

Mix 2 parts random with 1 part vintage russian inspired cameras, let develop at the local photomart and voila you've got yourself some lomographic pictures!

10 Rules of Lomography:
1. Take your LOMO everywhere you go and whenever you go.
2. Use it any time - day or night.
3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.
4. Shoot from the hip.
5. Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible.
6. Don't think.
7. Be fast.
8. You don't have to know beforehand what you've captured on film.
9. You don't have to know afterwards, either.
10. Don't worry about the rules.

Lomography looks kind of interesting to me. It's got a bit of retro style mixed with some "edge" (for lack of a better term). Hmmm...which camera to get now? I'm thinkin' the fisheye or supersampler

wait so you have to buy a "lomo" camera for this style?

Rule #1 .. Take your LOMO everywhere you go and whenever you go.

.. mainly so you can justify paying for it ... leave your real camera at home so that it is safe from scratches and precipitation ... this also serves to sell more LOMOs, because you'll feel obligated to "play it up" when people ask about it
