Dreamy = Holga


This weekend, I was feeling quite nostalgic and decided to buy a Holga camera. These simple plastic cameras are incredible, they have 2 shutter speeds, 4 apeture settings, and no focus. I first started shooting with a Holga in my high school's freshman year art class, my teacher loved the idea of such a pure and simple camera. The images are uber-dreamy, soft, and unpredictable. Light leaks and color filters make it so much fun, and such a different experience from shooting with a digital camera. I'm so excited to bust it out during Derby !! Here are some great images I found online, to  give you a feel for the magical images that Holgas can produce. I can't wait to develop my film !!
