Holga Cameras

This isn't really a post about darkroom photography, but it does have to do with a certain type of film camera. Recently I was in my university's bookstore and I discovered this sort of toy camera that was sitting up behind the counter. After questioning the man behind the counter I learned that this was in fact a Holga camera, which is a camera that sort of likes to distort color images.

After further inqury and a bit of interest the man convinced me to buy the camera and give it a shot. I discovered it is actually very simple to use and after playing with it a bit online, I even ventured it out and tried out myself, though I have yet to go get the pictures developed yet. The bizarre colors and distortion of this camera make for some great fun, and great memories to share.
