When is a camera not a camera?
I love Holga/Lomo fanatics. I was one for all of about three hours before the cost of film and development drove me to digital and away from the blurry snapshot “art” of the plastic camera. Somewhere I still have the roll of black and white film I shot using my taped-up super sampler, which I want to dig out every now and then and give another whirl.
(BTW – I love you guys and all, but my four-frame camera came from a science geek surplus catalog and cost me all of four bucks. You might want to shop around if you’re going the toy camera route)
Now one enterprising Holga enthusiast has created Holga: The Movie. It’s a brief walk through town with a techno soundtrack. The kicker? He modified his 35mm Holga to be a motion picture camera, albeit a choppy one. He also includes his instructions on how to recreate this effect.
