Holga shots - Los Angeles

[bhop]

Here are a few scans from the film I developed last night (technically 2 nights ago, but I haven't slept yet). I have a few more I think are decent, but it's 1am and I have to work tomorrow.. Most of the roll was underexposed, or else I screwed up the development process.. (hey, it's been 14 years since i've done it)

You can click the images to go to their respective flickr pages for 'slightly' larger images.

I won't pretend to know anything about the development phase (me = a beginner with a digital camera)... so 14 years or not you are better than me

I am diggin' that last pic.

Not a dumb question if you don't know.

In short, it's an all plastic (even the lens) medium format "toy" camera that is made in China, originally for the Chinese market.

but here's more info on wikipedia

Great shots! I love the double exposure.

Do you have a modified body or lens? I'm interested in that but haven't really had the time. Los Angeles is a great place for a Holga...don't wait another 14 years!

My fav is the double exposure. Great shots... I've been meaning to get an Holga and get out for some fun shootin.

I love how wiki describes the holga as "low-fidelity aesthetic." Probably the best description of that camera I have ever seen.

Thanks guys

Nope, not modified... unless you count the tape holding the back on.

The double exposure is dreamy.
