Hello Dear World. For those of you who don't know about the Holga camera, allow me to explain its amazing-ness. The Holga is a plastic toy camera. Yes that is right, plastic. Its about $20.00 at a camera store, or $60.00 if you're an idiot and buy one at Urban Outfitters. There is an art (literally, HA!) to taping up the back so not too much light leaks into the camera, but just enough to give that amazing "dream feeling". The one that I have shown here is by the fabulous Christopher James, one of my old teachers....god I miss school, but that's an entire other post. Anyways, I recently took some Holga images of my god-baby and I cannot wait to see how the negatives came out! I took both black and white and color...which produces and funky/distorted color scheme. Once I get them developed, I shall post it...if I got any good ones! Doesn't it remind you of lobster fishing? You don't know how well you made out until you get the trap (or negatives) back! It's a wonderful foggy day here in the city, and I wish I was printing some images rather then sitting here at work..but hey, we all need to make a living, right? xoxox :)
