Lomography is a style of analog photography characterized by the use of
low-quality "toy" cameras and alternative styles of film developing.  This
results in lo-fi images where contrast, color and focus are off and they may be
further marred by heavy vignetting and light leaks.  When used in spontaneous or
candid photography Lomography can create mesmerizing and ethereal pictures that
while far from perfect capture a moment like nothing else.

Faux-Lomo on the other hand, uses high-quality digital
equipment and computer programs to emulate the look of Lomography.  Starting
with a clean digital image the picture is rendered through several development
programs painstakingly adding false imperfections in an attempt to recreate what
a camera like the Holga does naturally.  The result after using potentially
thousands of dollars of equipment and hours of digital manipulation is a
Lomographic forgery.
