@dj.tigersprout: thanks again. holgas are cheap - no big deal to have one again :)
@Jean-Benoît Maréchal: thank you
Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Nice composition, but you're evoking unpleasant memories.

@Twelvebit: i had the exact same feeling. they were selling these chairs for $1 each. i don't think they sold a single one.
Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom
What a fascinating shot....I've been wanting to try a Holga for a while now but I'm too addicted to the convenience of digital (or too lazy to do something about it perhaps).
You have a great collection of film cameras.....do you mind if I ask which is your favourite?

@Ian Bramham: thanks ian.
you're right about the collection. i try to stay a photographer, rather than a camera collector, but it's hard to resist sometimes.
picking a favorites's a little like picking a favorite kid - as soon as i start thinking about it, i realize something's wrong with all of them. just kidding. i can narrow it down to three: 1) rolleiflex - big glass viewfinder, amazing quality, but no light meter, and a bit of a hassle to adjust in the cold, 2) fuji gs645 - not much to look through, but convenient for med. format and sharp lens, and 3) holga, because of all the reasons people like holgas.
thanks for asking. love your photos by the way.
