They are hideously cheap, poorly constructed film cameras that result in some awesome and funky effects, with characteristic darkened edges and streaks from leaked light and a slightly surreal result to the colours. Such as here
This is all very exciting. It also gives me a chance to shoot medium format (can adapt this camera to shoot square photos rather than rectangle), which I've wanted to try for ages but my wish list topping medium format digital camera - The Hasselblad is about £20k out of my price range.
So, Holga it is... Eeek! Ad astra per aspera
Other current obsessions include listening to Kings of Leon constantly, especially this one - Black Thumbnail. Love 'em, not to everyone's taste by any means.
My other favourite of theirs is The Bucket which was just so magic when I heard it at the Reading Festival, it sent a shiver down my back.
And I am going through a beef casserole phase. especially nice with green beans and chopped up chilli thrown in. Yum. Ad astra per aspera

But I'm not much good with photoshop and it will be interesting to see how I adapt to only being able to shoot 12 exposures per film within the limits of the camera, and if I can be creative with medium format.
