<-- The Holga 120N (as photographed and and instagrammed on my trusty ol' iPhone)
This little camera made me fall in love with film again. I'm really just an old film photographer from waaaaay back. I learned photography by shooting on film and hand developing in the darkroom at school. I've always held a special place in my heart for huge negatives and a dynamic range that cannot be replicated with a digital sensor... but anyway...
The Holga is a very low-tech camera, entirely manual and sometimes, eh hem, not precise. But the lack of technology somehow allows me to focus on the image, and in my opinion, take better pictures. I think less, and shoot from the heart. It brings me back to what I have always loved about photography, and for that, I am forever grateful. Here's some Holga love!
For my fellow photographers, these were all shot on Kodak Portra 400 and developed and scanned at Fotech in Fresno, California.
For photographers, this was on the now extinct Kodak Portra 160NC… I’ve also been using the new 400 lately, and although I love what the 160NC did, I don’t miss it at all. More posts to come very soon!
