I'm looking for an old camera.

yes, i used to want only the best kind of digital camera with as many unique lenses as possible.

this of course, is for the purpose of shooting crisp, sharp beautiful photos.

(by the way, i know nothing about photography).

now what I want is somehing old. something that can give me the look of an old photograph.

Darkened edges, only focused in the centre, bright, obtuse colors.

This is what the Russian made Lomo offers.

My desire has birthed from looking into Lomography online.

What I found (through blueandbrownbooks - photo credit) is this:

The 10 Golden Rules of Lomography:

1. Take your Lomo everywhere

2. Use it Day or Night

3. It's Part of your Life

4. Shoot from the Hip

5. Get as Close as Possible

6. Don't Think

7. Be Fast

8. Don't try to Control it

9. Be Suprised

10. Ignore all these Rules

I suppose it's the philosophy I like.

"When you buy a Lomo, you're not buying a camera, you're buying a lifelong membership into the Lomographic Society, and this is your tool of membership. When you die, you have to give it back."
