So I’ve been saying for weeks that I’ve been organizing my photos and it’s true. I have been whittled away and have gotten them down to my top “2000″ so I’m working on it. But I have finished sorting my toy camera images. While I was away I did take many rolls of photos and using a golden half meant that a roll of 36 – 35mm film was getting 72 images!

I am in love with my Golden Half! The camera was really reliable and I was able to slip it in my pocket when I wanted to use a different camera.

The Holga TLR & GTLR – a holga with a waist level view finder. It looks really cool – although it is not for sale on the lomography website yet 0 it seems that it has been released in Hong Kong and no surprise is readily available on ebay.

I have 2 holgas in my collection…but could always use a third…

So I was reading the latest issue of Shutterbug magazine and enjoying a lovely article on Toy Cameras which are one of my hobbies (and I almost always have one with me). I really love my holga camera and would say the only thing that bothers me sometimes is that there is no where nearby that I can go to get the film developed. Read the rest of this entry »
