Holga

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 18, 2009, 1:55 PM
Ok so I bought a Holga medium format camera last night.
here's some back ground info about the Holga.
The Holga camera was designed by T. M. Lee, and first appeared in 1982 in Hong Kong. At the time, 120 rollfilm in black-and-white was the most widely available film in mainland China. The Holga was intended to provide an inexpensive mass-market camera for working-class Chinese in order to record family portraits and events. After the cameras began to be distributed in the West, some photographers took to using the Holga for its surrealistic, impressionistic scenes for landscape, still life, portrait, and especially, street photography. In this respect, the Holga became the successor to the Diana and other toy cameras previously used in such work. A Holga photograph by David Burnett of former vice-president Al Gore during a campaign appearance earned a top prize in a 2001 White House News Photographers' Association Eyes of History award ceremony.

Recently the Holga has experienced a revival due to the gaining popularity of toy cameras.

I can't wait to use this camera, I just need to find a place to process the film.
If that doesn't work I'll have to process the film my self in my garage.
I know nothing about film development so I guess I'll have to learn.
If anyone has any pointers on film development I'm all ears

We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move. We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want. We work with being, but non-being is what we use.
