| The Holga is a cheap camera made for the masses in China so they can afford to record family events. Featuring only the basic necessities for picture taking (two shutter speeds, two apertures, nothing automatic) and cheaply made entirely out of plastic (including the lens), Holga photos exhibit all manner of strange effects, from light leaks to softness of the image, scratches, vignetting, etc., leading to a rather large cult following in Europe and the U.S. But the Holga’s slightly soft image that falls off in sharpness toward the edges along with corner vignetting also produce images with a lovely look of long ago that is very appealing. A selection of “Holga Vignettes” of nostalgic subjects is presented here, all sized to about 6x6 inches with a one inch white border (total print size is 8x8 inches). |
