holga

its plastic. 90 something percent. and its awesome. the holga is a lomo. a low tech, very basic camera made in the early 1980's. it's temperamental. it's moody. it's brilliant. but that's not why i love and appreciate it. nor is it because of the amazing vignetting and unpredictable light leaks that caress your photos. it's what holga stands for. well, for me at least. it means looking before you shoot. but not planning. not knowing if your film will come out - or how. appreciating the moment of the shot rather than the image itself. not expecting. never asking anything of it. loving the gifts it sometimes gives. and most of all, letting loose. having fun. getting a bit frustrated. then letting go again. h is for happy snaps. small, personal triumphs. here are some of mine.
