Holga

Just when you think you’ll have a nice uneventful month, you have more things to do now then in the middle of wedding season.  January has been so busy.  I have tons of things to post, which is turning out to be difficult to find the time to post.  But I digress.  Cody, my lovely husband bought me a holga for Christmas.  From first glance you might think what on earth would anyone want a plastic camera with only two options of F-stop?!  Well that’s just the beauty of it, you never know what your going to get.  And it’s film, so there that beautiful nostalgia too.   I love my holga.  I’m still learning the focus part.  You really have to pay attention to where you are in relation to the subject.  But if it’s not in perfect focus who cares!?  It’s a holga!

A holga can give even the most ordinary thing such a mystical quality.

Not that I have anything better to do then go through old photos, but I found this one.  I just love film has so much character, without even trying.  Sure you can add texture and what not in Photoshop, but is it really the same?  Personally, not even close, not even in the same league.  I love the authenticity of film, the edge it gives to something.

I’d love to hear other opinions though.  How about the techie people!?  Nate I know you have a opinion on this.
