Holga




Double exposure

So andrew bought this camera awhile ago (ok so like beginning of the summer) and its a way old school camera, nothing is automatic and you have to use electrical tape to tape the sides to attempt to keep light out (which i dont think it does so well, or maybe it was cause it was our first roll and we didnt know how to quite work the camera yet) but it is an awesome camera and you can do sooooooooo many cool things with it and so many different effects that we have yet to explore.

andrew also started using 35 mm film in it because it is cheaper (the iso film was 18 dollars for 16 pictures....) 35 mm is tricky because you have to guess how much to wind the camera to get to the next frame and so sometimes you end up inbetween frames and a cool thing about the 35 mm is that the camera exposes the WHOLE frame top to bottome from the notchy's at the top to the notchy's at the bottom.

andrew got the film back from our first adventure and it's taken be awhile to get it on the computer because i had to scan it instead of simply just downloading from a memory card (or "chip" as bronwyn's kindergarten teacher would say) but i love these pictures and i'm excited to see what andrew does with his future holga camera :)
