So, I have been shooting with a regular
Holga for a while now-but I had the grand idea that it would be easier to get 35mm film developed than 120mm film while we were being nomadic-so I got a 35mm Holga. As it turns out it is in fact not easy to get regular old 35mm film developed in the rural places that we've been and I have just now gotten my film back from
Blue Moon Camera in Portland-perfect timing before we leave for New Zealand!! I have to say that the actual prints look better than the ones on the CD (maybe next time I won't be cheap and pay extra for getting the pics scanned in at high resolution-you live and learn!)
These are the first pictures I have taken with this camera, so I really wasn't sure what to expect-but I was actually pretty happy with the results! There were a few happy accidents of some pretty cool double exposures and the colors came out just as I'd hoped! The black and whites look quite a bit better in person than on the computer but still I'm happy with them!
Horses at Craig, Rene and Morgan's in Enterprise
Farm cat that got very used to me petting her every morning!
Evil cows
Wallowa Lake and a bronze in Joseph (double exposure)
Homolovi ruins state park in Arizona-both the view and the ruins (double exposure)
Abandoned building in Jerome, AZ
Ghostly trees at the Grand Canyon
I plan on taking all my cameras with me to New Zealand (3 Holgas and my awesome Nikon D80), hopefully I won't have to wait until we get back to get film developed!
Wow--these are lovely! Who needs librarianship when you have Art? ;-)
