Holga Camera

Posted on | December 22, 2008 | 3 Comments

I always buy myself a little something for christmas. Takes the pressure of my significant other (last year I got crest white strips). I’ve been thinking about getting an old plastic camera like a Holga. The camera uses film which does feel incredibly archaic. However, the photos you can produce are like nothing you could ever get with a fancy SLR. They are abstract, saturated, and blurry. A style you either love or hate. Does anyone have one? You can buy a kit on amazon right for just $59.95.

I have one, and I love it! I got it from photography camp a long long time ago, and recently rediscovered it when helping my mom clean out my old room. Some of my favorite pictures come from the Holga – I love the light leaks and ability to double-expose pictures. I vote that you get one! :)

I'd say get one. I've used digital for a number of years, and even though I appreciate the convenience and quality of a good modern camera. I love to get some film in the Holga – guessing where to focus, wondering what'll actually come back from being developed. Some of my favourite photos were taken with it too.

Go for it – you'll have fun!
