It has been perfect Holga weather. On Monday I went out and shot 4 rolls of colour film I probably could have shot more but to be honest I was having a bit of a lazy day! I have chosen to use colour because after some helpful comments I agree they look alot better than the black and white. Although I was looking through the book relating to the Diana+ camera I have and alot of photographers in the past have shot using black and white. I looked on amazon to see if there are any photography books on Holga and I came across "Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity" and I think it could be quite interesting to look at. I was shocked to see the list of photographers that use the plastie camera for their work.
Michelle Bates has been experimenting with Holga since 1991, and even uses it for commercial work.
This was a quick post to show that I have been trying to research into other Holga lovers and I am going to spend the evening looking at more photographers and the work they have produced and I definitely think I am moving to the plastic side of life - apart from taking three shots with the lens cap still on!! Oooops!
I will be collecting my negatives on Thursday, so I hope to have a more detailed post of what my subject matter is and how I am going to move forward!
Arrivederci
I have a holga book I can bring infor you to look at - remind me!
