Holga Camera

I have found out a way to show you my Holga Home on http://www.lomography.com. Here is the link to my "lomohome" http://www.lomohomes.com/cre8ivrob

I will be honest the photos that look like they were overlapped, are overlapped. I wish I could say that they were done on purpose, but it was really an accident. What happened is this, I put 35mm film into the camera with some modifications and didn't realize how much I had to wind the film to get a new shot. I realize now that is about 29 clicks to get to the next shot without overlapping and double exposing the film. Even though the overlapping was an accident I am still extremely proud of the shots. I also learned that the red shot number window in the back of the camera actually lets in a lot of light. That is the red block in the shots. I originally used masking tape to cover the window, but that isn't enough. You actually have to use the black electrical tape they give you with the camera. I used the black tape when shooting at the White Sox game. and no light came in.

The film was developed at Walgreens, but I need to scan the negatives because the pictures that were developed did not get the whole shot. This is because it is hard to tell where the shots end and begin. To get the right shot is just a matter of scanning the film the right way and printing out the shots the way they are supposed to look.

Here are a couple shots:
