Well, this is my first crack at Lomography.  Lomo was a kind of Russian camera way back in the day.  Photographers would shoot color slide film which usually you would develop using a group of chemicals called E6, however the “Lomographers” developed the color slide film with regular C41 chemicals that were used for B&W film.  This process would create a unique color saturation and vignette that we call Lomography.  I don’t own a lomo camera nor do I have a darkroom that I can achieve these effects, but I do have photoshop and the Internet.  With these two tools you can come pretty close to the real lomo.  I recommend the link below.  Darren Rowse is a bad-ass and writes some awesome stuff in addition to producing some incredible work with the camera.  His article is how I learned to do lomo with photoshop.  I am so happy with the results and I know you will too.
