After many years of Holga-phobia I gave in to the lure of a plastic piece of **** and purchased a Holga 120N. For my first trip I loaded it with Ilford HP5+ and shot most of it in churchyards, apart from the first one which is at Seaham Harbour.
Full disclosure 1 – the 120N isn’t actually my first Holga. I used to have the pinhole Holga WPC120 which took pretty sharp images by pinhole standards but the back kept falling off. I threw it way but I should have really kept it and taped the back on.
Full disclosure 2 – For 55 years I believed that I didn’t like beetroot but never tried it. Eventually I tried it, and found it doesn’t actually taste of much, but it’s not revolting. I’m sure there’s a film photography analogy there somewhere.
I really like that second shot Kevin.
I’ve really enjoyed using my Holga, and the results it gives, since I bought it a few months back. I find shooting it is a very relaxed experience due to the relatively limited control it allows, freeing me to concentrate on finding subjects to point it at.
Beetroot tastes of mud don’t it?
Only if you don’t wash it
Great series of images, I absolutely love my Holga, it’s probably my favourite film camera at the moment.
