Real cameras are back! Yes digital was fun but haven't you missed loading the film, manually focusing your camera, and the excitement of getting your pictures developed? Haven't you missed all those strange imperfections and color variations that only film can produce? Digital cameras are great for immediate gratification and internet posting but there's just something magical about a still film camera. The camera that I am obsessing over right now is the Holga. The Holga was invented in China during the '80s and is a simple plastic camera that produces gorgeous photos with all the details that digital loses! Plus the "fundamentals of Holga" (created by the Lomographic Society International) are brilliant:1. Free yourself from rules
2. Embrace random results
3. Disarm your subjects
4. Engage individuality
5. Get your hands dirty
I can't wait to get my own Holga. I will use Kodak film exclusively since I am a Kodak baby (being from Rochester and all).
