Further explanation of the theme: in the words of jgda9rs:
"
At the very core of Lomography lie the 10 Golden Rules:
to guide and disarm you of all the formalities and complications that you know about photography.
They’re the very essence of lomography's “Don’t Think, Just Shoot” motto.
After all, Lomography is all about having fun while taking good pictures.
Memorize it by heart, or break all the rules; either way, be ready to throw all your inhibitions about photography away!
"

here's some examples of what i'm looking for

Love the borders banners (god I'm an idiot)!

Would you care to explain the theme more thoroughly? I don't really understand it, and the link to the examples doesn't work.

Wasn't Lomography the last "thing" in photography in the film camera era, just before digital cameras took over? That's how I remember it anyway (could be wrong). Must see if I have a shot for this.

I believe the original Lomo LC-A used to produce these sort of shots was made in the 80s, but they've lately come back into 'fashion' and are being sold in fashion outlets around here at about £60 a camera. The type of photos they produce are stunning and I must get myself one at some point.
 
it's about the same here too, and it's another $12 for the film. but man it's sooo much fun!
i try and imitate it with photoshop when i work on some of my photos sometimes, but the holga and the depth of the film print is just so much different.
