I’ve recently become interested in purchasing my first lomography camera, but i was wondering what is a good first time camera? recently the only place i know where they are readily avaible is "urban outfitters".

I’m not sure which is the right kind to purchase, but i beleive i’ve heard about the "Diana". And also, if i do buy this, whats reccomended to purchase with it? (such as flash,lenses) Also, where do you get your photos developed? Thank you!
I’m not familiar with lomography, but as far as developing your pictures, it depends on the kind of film it uses. If it uses 35mm film, you can get that developed anywhere (CVS, Target, Walgreens, Costco – quality varies). You can also send them to places like Clark color Labs, photoworks, etc.
If it uses medium format film (like 120 film), you will probably need to go to a dedicated photo lab (more expensive).
Are you specifically interested in "lomography", or just film in general? If you are simply interested in film, there are much better cameras out there than Dianas or Holgas. You can find used 35mm film SLRs for pretty cheap now, and they can take better pictures (if you know how to use them).
