That's right, the Canon 1D has been replaced with a tricked out $15 film camera made in China. It's amazing, despite the fact that I had to actually buy and load film, take it in to be processed and wait for prints were are a fortune, all the time wondering if I managed to expose a single frame.
The verdict? I love it! You have to really let go of things that seemed important, like focus, framing the subject, and give up any technical control of the picture. Just point the camera in the general direction of your subject, and the Holga will take that picture it wants. Let go of some control, because this 2 ounce hunk of China's finest plastic will do it all for you. You couldn't Photoshop some of this if you tried.
*Disclaimer: Any artistic double exposures are purely the result of forgetting to wind the film, not an artistic choice. Nonetheless, some of these accidents are sort of cool...
Here are some early results.
