Thanks to m0rph3u I became very interested in Lomo cameras and Lomography, although I still don’t have one of those (probably because m0rph3u is now a few thousand miles from me and it’s hard for him to nag me everyday to buy one 
) the concept of shooting everything, eveyone, all the time is simply amazing and so different from traditional photography, and that’s probably why it’s something I try to do with in some photos (usually with my camera phone).
Another reason for it’s popularity is the amazing, almost weird, over-saturated colors caused by the character of the Lomo lens and a technique normally used by lomographers called cross processing. That feature has been the subject of many articles and tutorials around the web, most of them are simple a list of steps to get this with Photoshop but this article at swissstuff tries to explain the Lomo look in detail and, of course, the way to get it; in the end, just to make things easier, there’s the corresponding Photoshop Action to download.
This doesn’t mean to be a reason not to use Lomo cameras, but’s a cool way to lomoize photos shot with other cameras and/or not developed using the cross processe technique.
