Last week I got back my first roll of processed film from my Holga (a birthday present from C). I was kind of nervous about it. I've gotten so used to the instant feedback of digital photography that I'm not always as careful as I should be. I knew I made some mistakes while shooting and by the time I went to pick up the processed film and photos from Bay Photo, I was totally prepared to get back a series of goofs. However the film turned out better than expected. None of the frames were perfect or even that great but I didn't live up to my worst fear and ruin the entire roll!
Below are a couple of photos from roll 1 on my Holga:

I think using my Holga will force me to be more thoughtful and attentive in my photography. Or at least that's the hope. I'm about halfway through roll two and I already feel a little more confident about the shots I've taken this time around. I guess we'll see if my confidence is warranted when I actually get my second roll developed (hopefully sometime next week). If nothing else, using my Holga to take photos is a fun break from my norm. And a Holga is a whole lot lighter to carry around than a Canon
