What is Lomography: Introduction

Lomography is the commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, Austria for products and services related to photography. I recently bought myself a Holga plastic camera to find out what this plastic camera craze is all about. Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, "happy accidents," and alternative film processing are often considered part of the "Lomographic Technique.". I'm yet to develop my first roll, but I'm excited to find out the results soon! (How long has it been since I used any sort of film? 6/7 years ago?)

Learn about Lomography and cheap plastic cameras from this short video from KUTV2 - "blurry, fuzzy and badly framed, all the things that make art photography great, and all available from cheap plastic cameras like the Lomo, Diana or Holga":
