Are there any Holga fans in the house?

I'm a big fan of this cheap medium-format camera ($20). I bought an extra one and converted it to a pinhole camera. Sometimes I get very tired of all the perfection I see, especially with digital, this is a fun and artistic alternative.

1. I'd never heard of a Holga

until I read your post. I did a Google on it and it sounds like you're willing to put in some work to get a good shot. :-)

I did pinhole photography using cardboard boxes when I was a kid. Those photos are lost now, but I was pleased with some of the results.

We will post some pictures soon. Have to scan and upload.

I love Holga/Diana toy cameras.
