I’m in love
No really, I am. A small black plastic camera came into my life in December and has been patiently waiting for me to unwrap him and press his buttons. And I finally have… and now I know what true love is. My Holga camera will be coming with me today as I drive off with my family into the middle of nowhere for a few days of R&R.
This means I am now shooting with film, and have no idea how the pictures will turn out until i get the negs back from the lab – this is the photography I remember, and it feels good to be returning to my roots. The further I travel along this path the closer I get to what it is I am wanting to achieve, artistically speaking. So I’ve packed my notebook and pen, and my camera(s) and film, and I’m leaving in half an hour… life is good.

Have Fun Sweetie….. Can’t wait to see all the wonderful photos you’ll have taken,
Big hugs,

Aaah! The Holga. My newest crush. I’ll send you via email a few links that you may be interested in if you love your Holga!! xo
Looks like you’re getting good results already. Enjoy your time away with family :)

Gorgeous, darling!
I love your Holga banner and that shot of the blue hut with the light “scratches” and the shadowing around the edge. There really is nothing quite so beautiful (and in this case nostalia inducing) as a few lovely flaws.
Enjoy your family get away. See you ever so soon.
hmm delicious photographs.. have a wonderful time with your family, and i’m already looking forward to seeing your next batch of holga photos. xx
I’m loving them too…hope you have a beautiful time with your family!
Love,
D.
i’ve got a roll of 120 film sitting in my bag at home waiting to be developed. it’s so much fun to shoot with and next up is my lomography fish eye camera!!

Ah .. have a lovely time and I look forward to seeing the pictures.

Oh! I’m so glad you have discovered the Holga! It is a fabulous camera. i have gone though several in the past ten years (I lost one on a canoe trip – luckily they are not too expensive to replace!)
Looking forward to seeing your images. I have quite a few Holga pics on my blog in between the digitals, if you’d like to come check it out :)
have wonderful trip,
Steph in California
oohh, jealous here! I want a Holga of my very own… :)
Your pictures are beautiful as usual, but I have to ask, is the little blue house yours??
A Holga! Fun! And the photographs you’ve taken already with it are beautiful, Susannah. They really invoke the feeling of daydreams and romance. I can’t wait to see what images you come back with after your trip. Have a relaxing, creative time with your family!

Your photographs are amazing! I have been wanting a Holga for a while now. The results are pretty incredible.
I just stumbled across your blog, so I thought I’d say hello. So, hello. :-)
Sounds wonderful. I love the scratchy look of the 2nd pic too. Have a great time away ;-)

I have been playing with mine for the past month or so and ADORE it. Love the pictures you’re sharing too. There are some great Flickr Holga groups out there if you haven’t looked for them yet, you should when you have some time to kill.
Also, I wanted to tell you that my old blog (the journey) is gone. I’m now at http://themad1s.blogspot.com, I hope you’ll stop by some time!

well if that isn’t just the coolest camera ever…. xoxo
I hope that your weekend was beautiful, and I can’t wait to see more of these gorgeous holga photos. They are so so full of goodness and color and texture!!!

Hi there,
I have found my way to you via our friend Frida who has raved about you and your beautiful photos. Hi! I recently bought a Holga too, and am experimenting although I must say my results are pretty shitty compared to yours so far.
I was wondering if you have a special online site for developing and printing the Holga 120 films? I tried Snappy Snaps but they are expensive and not the best quality. Would appreciate a trade secret here.
Thanks xx
