There is nothing like a film camera.
I love my holga so much.
I love the fun pictures it takes.
The light leaks, the out of focus, the grain, and the unpredictability.
I love not being able to look at a photo after I take it.
I love taking double exposure photos.
I love hoping a photo will turn out when I get the film delevoped.
And I love getting photos developed and finding I have old photos of Mowgli before he passed away.
This is my first film camera, and a lot of these pictures didn't turn out nearly at all.
I was getting used to the settings, and what kind of light to take photos in.
Some of these pictures are extra grainy and dark.
But I still love em.
And check back soon... cause this is kind of hint for next week.
My first film camera is a mustardy-yellow Holga too!
ReplyDeleteExcept yours is a little bit bigger than mine. :)
I love all your pictures! I think the out of focus/grainy/dark is what gives it character.

DeleteNice pics! i love the one of the both of you and the road.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alma! I was so happy when that one turned out! I had the idea of us being see through with the road, and it worked!
DeleteHurray for Holgas. Love the double exposer of you two and the road behind you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love that one too!
DeleteLove your blog and love the photos...I do not have a desire to use a camera that is a film camera but I envy people who enjoy them. I am just WAY too impatient for that but I love the images you have posted here. The out of focus, grainy and dark you refer to gives them mystery and their very interesting. I would love however a Diane camera...have you worked with one?
ReplyDeleteI haven't! I've looked into getting one though. I don't normally like film cameras, but I always carry my SLR AND my Holga, so I end up getting some instand digital ones AND some film ones for later!
DeleteThese photographs are absolutely amazing! They're so magical and mysterious. Also, I think it was very kind of you to respond to all of the above comments. I'm impressed :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Scout! And I love responding to comments! It helps me make new friends, and feel more connected, I suppose. Maybe I just like talking. ;)
