Taken with my ugly but oh so beautiful yellow Holga. Portra 800 film. 

Do yourself a favor and buy this $27 dollar plastic camera and have some fun.

Enjoy life.

After you scan your photos, then you sharpen and stuff in Photoshop? Then post?

malibu through the holga
These are some extra shots I took with my Holga while working on a photo project in Malibu last week. I can't find words for how stoked I am about these. Light leaks are always welcome! I'm excited to share the rest of the images later on down the road. I'm also tempted to blow up the palm tree photo to an inappropriate size.

I've recently learned about the wonderful light leaks that form amazing pictures from the Holga! I've been contemplating getting a (pink) one for awhile now... and this just makes me want to get one even quicker!! BEAUTIFUL SHOTS!

Holga
I took a Holga along with me during the experimental iPhone session last week. I've anxiously waited for the film to be developed and wanted to share a few of my favorites. I love how unpredictable this little toy camera is. 

Is anyone else shooting with a Holga out there? If so, please share a link in the comments below. I'd love to see what others are creating!

For some reason this is last image was my favorite of all. I love how much light leaked through on this frame and how distorted everything is. LOVE IT.

The last image is my favorite as well! You have inspired me to bust out my dusty Diana camera and have some fun with it! Merry Christmas Carl!

My favorite is the last one - there's something stunningly beautiful about it. You make me want a Holga camera :)

I bought a holga few days ago. I don't know what the result will be with my film. But I like what you do with yours.

Honestly, I thought a Holga was a cheap Chinese camera UO was selling for a crazy markup. What makes it special?
