I've been looking at some lomography pictures and i really gotten into it, i would like to get started on it. Since i really don't know anything about it im open to anything u have to say about it, feel free to contribute with anything that might help me. My dad's a photographer but he's kinda old and he really wasnt much help but he did give my one of his OLD cameras, it's a canon AE-1 35mm, what should i do, dhould i but some new or special lens, do the diana deluxe kit at lomography.com fit that camera.

If you really "get into it" you will notice that LOMO photography is done using a plastic camera with plastic lens and 120 film.

It is the unique vignetting, colour aberrations at the edges of the negatives frame as well as the occasional scratches on the base (white marks on the prints) or emulsion (black marks on the prints) and sometimes light leaks that make LOMO photography so interesting.

Your AE-1 is a proper 35 mm SLR and at one time was used by professional photographers to produce marketable images. Something that is not even close to LOMO photography.

Yes there are now some 35 mm LOMO cameras, but they too have no similarity to your fine Canon SLR

While you can approximate the soft edges using LOMO lenses and an adapter, you will not get the intermittent scratches nor the light leaks.
