Throwback Thursday: Holga in the Snow

Posted on Nov 7, 2013 in Throwback Thursday, Toying Around | 10 Comments

I had so much fun going through my old toy camera stuff, I thought I’d post another Holga shot. This one, I think, is from 2007. (I left the lint on the scan for nastalgic effect, which I’m sure other filmies will totally appreciate.)Jennifer Smutek Photography

    I have mixed feelings about snow. Now that I don’t have a job that will give me free days off I would rather just not deal with it :P

    […] This is a little something extra I asked Carly to photograph for me. And, I’ll give you a *quick* backstory… Before the days of Instagram, I used to be a Holga-girl. Don’t know what a Holga is? You can check it out here. So, why was I drawn to the Holga? As a professional, you always have to make sure everything is just right. The exposure, focus, positioning, lighting, everything. So, I always found it so freeing to load a roll of 120 into my plastic Holga, tape that sucker shut with some electrical tape and just have fun. Then, if I had been shooting black & white, after a week or two, I’d come home, load the roll in my Patterson tank, drop some D-76 in the funnel and start rolling the canister. It was always such a surprise to see what would develop on the film. The images were never technically perfect, but they were always exactly what they were supposed to be. If you want to check out some of my Toy Camera stuff, you can check out this Throwback Thursday post I did last year… oooh, and this one too! […]
