Meeting up with an old friend

My Holga always seems like a long lost friend when I am out taking photos.  Do you know how sometimes you neglect to contact your best friends often enough, but when you do, it is like you have never been apart?  I kind of feel like that with my Holga.

Part of the separation is seasonal; during the warmer months, my tapwater comes out too hot to develop my b&w film at home.  Part of it is financial; digital is free, film costs.  Part of it is impatientence; it actually takes time to dip, dunk and scan film; much more so than with digital.  Anyways, now that it is cooler, I ran a couple of rolls of film through the most craptastic camera ever.

    Love the photo of “With Joss Sticks”. Your shots with the Holga don’t seem Holga-ish at all. Excellent stuff!
