I got to love any site that features the work of not one but two Boston area holga shooters (Robert Schneider and Bonnie Borthwick).
Represent!

Hi Diane,
I both shoot and sell Holgas... I started out expecting to get typical Holga images but I have found that sometimes the results are better than they ought to be! If you have a look at the gallery section of my site www.minutefilm.co.uk I am particularly pleased with the pictures of flowers...

I love the timelessness of your pictures, the subject and the equipment seem to set each other off beautifully!

New black & white Holga image today..from Jim Rohan..this is some beautiful work! take a look! http://holgaville.com

eyecaramba · « **Reply #31 on:** June 16, 2010, 02:33:22 PM »

Diane... I have some feedback. I have been to your site a few times and have found it to be sort of thin on content. Have I missed something? This may be that I haven't fully grasped the concept yet but when I went to see the Jim Rohan work, I see the one image. and then I click on the image to get a larger image. I think that if you don't have an external link, then you might feature the work a little more ... even just a few images.

And yes, I found the link in the sidebar but that didn't work because Flickr didn't like being embedded within frames. And that sidebar is going to get filled up faster than you can say six month anniversary...

Now, that said, I want to say great job for putting this together but it it doesn't keep me when it gets me... yet. Great luck with it!

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #32 on:** June 17, 2010, 07:09:26 PM »

When I first came up with the idea for "holgaville" I wasn't sure how many contributors I would get..when I started getting several and each with several contributions I decided to feature a different work from a different artist every few days..that way stretching out everything..I have "clicked " on each contributors name for both the blogroll links and the contributors link and they all work for me..I guess I am not following what you are saying..I have done my best to try and just give the world wide audience a peek at images done with the Holga....maybe it's not working for everyone...i am sorry to hear this! but thank you so much for taking the time to look!

eyecaramba · « **Reply #33 on:** June 18, 2010, 12:59:08 AM »

Hey Diane, I am not trying to present as someone for whom your idea isn't workng. On the contrary, I am fairly drawn to the idea. I am not aware of another specifc Holga site apart from Holga Inspire maybe. I am not sure why Rohan's link doesn't work for me out of the contributor list... I am thinking it would be easy to put a link in the copy under the image also. Because I am, like so many Internet wanderers, an idiot. Mostly I think a link right there, in the copy, would be a good move. An additional thought mght be to include a few more images. I don't need convincing that the holga is an impressive camera, I am a believer already and enjoy seeing mature bodies of work from holga users. One image feels a bit light is what I am saying. Maybe exert a little curatorial opinion? I am happy in general. Just trying to offer some critique. Great luck to you.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #34 on:** June 18, 2010, 03:19:01 PM »

thank you so much for your imput...as I said I was originally trying to s-t-r-e-t-c-h... out the work sent to me..so thats why I didn't put eveything in one entry..as far as adding a link within the body of the test..well I had asked for contributors to write a little information and I tried not to "change" anything in that stuff....but I suppose I could adjust so there becomes a link..as I mentioned..I tried all the links before posting each time and had found them all working..not sure why your attempt failed..but for awhile by computer was doing something weird where I couldn't go to a site that I knew was working and had always worked for me prior....strange stuff this internet...

Mike (happyforest) · « **Reply #35 on:** June 18, 2010, 07:15:48 PM »

Diane

The problem with not opening within frames appears to be a flickr issue.

Bert Bulder link is flickr also and this does the same.

I'm not sure putting the link in with the main post would make any difference with the frame issue for flickr.

I think it is a lovely site and re visit it when you let us know of updates here.
It has even made me look to using wordpress for my personal use.

Thank you for doing this.

Mike

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #36 on:** June 19, 2010, 03:06:25 PM »

Mike, thank you! yes, I like wordpress..works well for this blog..and it has a lot of possibilities also! Lots of things that I haven't done! but would be great for someone with more ability!

Diane, such things are a learning curve for us all. You at least did it, you made a great site that will grow as people learn of it and participate.
