    didnt read all the replies, so sorry if this has been mentioned....

    experiment with:

    lighten the shadows
    cross process
    light leaks, or color overlays/gradients at super low opacity

    hope this helps

    If I wanted that look, I would use a Harrison and Harrison double fog 1 or 2 filter on my camera lens and overexpose at least one stop as I was shooting. Then, you could play in Photoshop.

    People do want this look, but I don't really get it. I think its a fad. But, in Photoshop you can use the lens flair - it works great.
