I Miss my Holga!!!
It's been quite a while. The first time I laid my eyes on the photos of this motherf*ther, i was like, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW!!! I just needed to have this camera! The camera takes very unique pictures with the vignetting effect and the over-saturated colors, which I love because they look so vintage.

And because I was fortunate enough to go to Hong Kong, where it is manufactured, I finally got my hands on this little cammie on a cold winter's night last 2007.I wanted to buy it in a small shop but I ended up getting it from Page One (or some other biggie multistore book shop). After purchasing it, I didn't even wait till I got home and opened the nifty starter pack. It's complete with a roll of 120 film (larger than the conventional 35 mm film), a color built-in flash, and batteries.
I just totally fell in love with it. I took it everywhere I went and just took photos of whatever I can shoot. The pictures didnt really come out as I expected but after reading different articles about the camera, it takes a bit of practice.
And that's when I got bored of it, giving effort to practicing and learning different angles. Which I shouldn't in the first because it's supposed to be a point-and-shoot-spur-of-the-moment-don't-care-if-the-film's-expensive type of camera.
But now, I MISS IT SOOOO MUCH!!! I want you to know that you will always be my baby, and although other people might not understand it, who cares?
