Holga trees
These were taken with my Holga, oh, around fall of last year, a time of year when the skies around here are bleak most days even when the sun is out. For my readers not familiar with it, the Holga is a cheap, medium-format plastic camera with a cheap plastic lens. There are no exposure settings to tweak; the one exposure switch, which supposedly changes the aperture, is a fake and does not work, which is quite amusing. It's one of those cameras where the viewfinder does not have anything to do with the lens except that they're located on the same contraption. It can be had brand new for about $20-$30 if one stays away from the lomography sites selling them. In other words, in the world of pixel-defined photography, the Holga is very much a toy camera. And yet, some of the most awesome photos I see are taken with a Holga. And those photos are the reason why I own one.
