I want to know more about it. Besides Googling it...which I've done...why is it so special? What are the benefits (if any) over a digital camera? Are the photos better? Is that a matter of preference? Why is it so popular? Etc. etc.
Lomography @ Wikipedia has some good points, and this seems like a good "starter summary"...:

Similar to Eastman Kodak's concept of the "Kodak moment," the Lomography motto of "don't think, just shoot" presumes spontaneity, close-ups, and ubiquity, while deemphasizing formal technique (however to take a good 'from the hip' shot does take skill). Typical lomography cameras are deliberately low-fidelity and inexpensively constructed. Some cameras make use of multiple lenses and rainbow-colored flashes, or exhibit extreme optical distortions and even light leaks.

...but I'd still like to hear from some of you Lomo-ers out there on the points above and more that may not be covered by the Wikipedia article and Google results.
