So i bought pretty much one of the cheepest non disposable cameras out there. Its a holga. To give you a little course on what a holga is, i'll explane that to you right now. The holga was invented to bring the freedom of photography to china. Its a plastic camera, with a plastic lens. It has two shutter speeds. One is around 1/250 of a second (i think), the other is the bulb (how ever long you want the shutter to be). It also runs on 120 film so it shoots 6x6 square imagines. It only has one appature, and is made really cheeply. All these things make the holga so much fun. The holga is a delight to artists because of its weird image quality. It also takes all the control of a normal camera away from you. Therefore you need to focus more on the composition of the picture, rather then things like shutter speed and appature. It pretty much makes you think more about the picture and not so much about the technical crap. I shot some black and white and i must say. I'm a fan.

This is some crazy stuff here. But I agree, this is very cool.
When did Brooke die and come back to life as a specter to haunt you and your camera? Please don't tell her where I live.
don't worry sam, my new hobby is necromanceing, but i totally control when her undead body comes back to haunt anyone.
Love the undead. Just not too vigorously. They tend to fall apart on you. Emotionally.
Ok. Sometimes literally. Decomposing really is a date killer.
i feel like thats one of those, "you learn it once, you learn it for the rest of your life" kinda things.
