It has been ages since I used the Holga. Think I'll grap some HP5 and take it on my holidays over the next few weeks..

Good Morning,

I'm a first-timer to filmwasters, but have been spending some time reading your postings, admiring your images, and appreciating the high level of discourse.  I am really impressed by your ability to express an actual critical thought, provide spot on suggestions and comments, and not become mean-spirited in the process.  And, while I found a riotous thread regarding "awesome, cool, and far out" types of descriptors when addressing each others works, I am really delighted that you folks seem to take your film-wasting and image-making seriously - at least when it's necessary.

All that being said, I hope to post a few pix here and there, gain knowledge from your experience, and continue to enjoy this wonderful site.  I had the chance to listen to the WeeGee and HCB audio recordings this morning, and to view the 1958 Kodak Info-Reel on making film as well.  Those 2-reelers were the kind of high entertainment my classmates and I could expect to enjoy on a regular basis as students in a rural school in Missouri.  The films were obtained from some gub'mint agency and dragged around from school to school to give the teachers a chance to go to the boiler room and smoke while we sweltered in the gym looking at such training films!

Anyhow, too much rambling, not enough pix.  Here are 2 from my Holga 120S.  Let me know what you think.

And thanks!

Great idea...
The first image was an early Diana shot and the second, a recent piece...

I go back to these regularly.  The first is from a Brownie Hawkeye (flipped lens), the second from a Brownie Holiday (127 film).

I think these might be my favorites at the moment...
The first was done with slide film in a reused disposable camera, two slides were exposed to 669 polaroid packfilm in a Vivitar slide printer and transferred.
The second is Fuji Velvia 100 cross-processed. I was using a Diana+, but forgot to put the mask in before loading the film - hence the double exposure overlap on the sides.

I'm not a photographer, I just take lots of pictures ;)

Ouch - sorry about the massive size on that last one - I'll get it right next time!
