A friend of mine at work just came back from Spain and while there she got me a gift from the Lomography Shop. This reminded me of my Holga camera which I haven’t used since the last time the sky was blue. Shooting outdoor pictures in Kuwait during the summer sucks because we don’t have blue skies neither do we have any clouds. This is why my favorite time of the year to take pictures is during the winter.
Holga is this really cheap camera I bought awhile back which takes pictures using medium format film. Since the camera is cheap the pictures have this really strange feel and effect to them which ends up making all the pictures look really trendy.
I have some pictures I shot with the camera attached to this post which I took 2 years ago at Marina Mall and as you can see you could never achieve the same with a digital camera. Now the coolest thing about the Holga is the price, it costs just $20 on Amazon. Thats a really good deal. [Amazon Link]

blurry and dark on the sides which looked like it was photoshopped. $20 on amazon u say? hmm…interesting..
hi Mark, where do you get your 120 film processed in Kuwait? I don’t think my local place does it. thanks
I buy my film from Boushahri since I prefer Fuji but i process them at Kodak Ashraf.
aahhh these are so nice…
I’m totally jealous, now I have to dig out my film from college and scan some photos in.
Do you know where I could get a good film scanner?
Amazon would be your best bet honestly. I get my stuff scanned when I develop them at Kodak Ashraf but last time I checked they stopped working with medium format film so I stopped using my Holga. Also they dont carry medium format film and last time I checked neither does Boushahri anymore…
