This is a good image. It suits the feel of the town, and it's well composed.

Sure thing! As soon as I get it back from Jim, I'll post a photo of the back.

Phil, in all of your shots I love the light leaks and the contrasts. Good work.... Cheers!

The cult of Holga! Great, great image here!
I made this little flap with electrician's tape to go over the counter window. I can pull it up when I want to see the count then put it back - so far it's working really well. This might violate the Holga ethic, but I did it anyway. A friend has mine on loan (for a trip to Graceland! can't wait to see the Holgas from there) - when I get it back I'll take a photo of the back so you can see how I did this. If you like.
I'm going to go through more of these! Enjoying your portfolio a lot!

Would you like to try printing them Ruta? You would be welcome! The white on the left is a light leak from the film counter window, I need to cover it better... :)

yooohoooooooooooo WHERE do all these come from....last time I looked there wasnt any...time passes...gosh...i am collecting quite a few other toy things at the mo, but have to say the holga is unmistakable. somebody said to me, if you like a holga wait till you see the DIANA. in fact i have seen diana shots by a guy called shildt and they are amazing. he posts mainly in photopoints but yesterday there was one here too. i see yours lets in light in a different place from mine, and seems to me always in the same place as i remember your others. what colour is yours? mine is purple. adore it.

I like a lot the capture. but the print :( is it the twizer in the top? looks so. I see also the same white, kind of wave, on the left side, as I noticed on the other pictures. something wrong with camera? anyway, this one is my prefared of 3. send me the negatives, that I'll print you the pictures :)

I guess so Brad, but it'd be nice to control them a bit! What I was doing that day seemed to reduce the light leak from the film counter window for a while... the longer it had been since the last shot the more light leaked in...

I was led to believe that the flaws, like leaks and streaks, were what is essential about "Holga". C'mon Phil, fill me in on this Holga craze.... ..Brad

Phil- another great shot from Holga. I think you used the light leak to your advantage in this shot. It frames thegrassy knoll very nicely.
cheers
