lomography

Yah, a Holga is a medium format camera. It takes 120mm film. However, they do make a 35mm adapter for a Holga! It costs about $10-$12. Or for around $130 you can get a polaroid instant film back for your Holga so that you don't even need to get any film developed at all! So if you're really set on a Holga, you may want to get one and the 35mm adapter to start with... then maybe later experiment with the polaroid back and/or the regular 120mm film! If you're interested in digital lomography style photography, there are some options out there for digital SLR cameras! The effect you get from using a Lensbaby selective focus lens is often very similar to what you'll get using a Holga. In fact many photographers who use Lensbabies often remark on how much it reminds them of old Holgas. These lenses can be used on any film or digital SLR camera. They also make fisheye lenses for digital cameras which is the digital equivalent to the fisheye lomo cameras. If you're interested in the pinhole lomo cameras, you can actually make a pinhole lens for a digital SLR camera! You just drill a small hole in a body cap, tape some aluminum foil to the inside of the body cap, then use a small needle or pin to punch a tiny hole in the foil! There are also all kinds of special effect filters and color filters that can be used on digital cameras to produce neat effects, similar to what you might see with different types of lomography cameras! Because lomography is so experimental, I actually think it's a lot better to go digital. With lomography, the best shots are the "happy accidents" you get... With digital, you can keep those "happy accident" photos and simply delete everything you don't like!
