hello miss holga.




after seeing so many lovely + weird holga pictures taken by fellow bloggers, i asked for my own little holga for christmas. my first roll of film was a complete bust, but the second roll from vancouver fared a bit better. those double exposures were complete accidents, but i kind of love them. miss holga, i look forward to getting to know you better.

(and if anyone wants to toss any tips + tricks my way, i'd be delighted to hear them! what a finicky little girl she is!)

ps. that's vancouver central library in the first shot. isn't it just beautiful??

    Holgas are tricky little monsters, aren't they? My first roll was a complete bust, too. I'm still getting a hang for my Holga Olga. (That's her name. Olga Oksana.)

    If I hadn't already spent money on my Black Devil I would soooo have purchased a Holga. I'm dying for one!
    I have heard they can be a bit tricky though.
    That last photo is incredible. As is the one of the snow.

    And if you ever get the opportunity to work in a darkroom you should totally take it! It's amazing.

    Oh, wow, I love that! I'm so embarrassed to admit I didn't even know about this Holga thing. Wow. This is why internet is cool. One finds out about stuff like this. Although now that I see the pictures I'm like, oh, so THIS is how they do it... I see. Can't wait to see more from you and this Holga!

    ah, i meant to comment on these when i first saw them!

    girl, canadians are more than welcome at any beatles rock band/ping-pong/pool table/apples to apples/wii party that i host! you'd probably be an honored guest. dibs on the microphone or drums or apple cards or whatever. :)

    holgas: mmmmm. for about a year now, i've wanted a holga camera. i love the vintage/supersaturated/vignetted/cross-processed effect! did you just take these to get them developed or did you do it yourself? either way, i'm excited to see more pictures from that little miss holga.
