I have been reading this book Plastic Cameras - Toying with Creativity, by Michelle Bates. I have already learned some great tips about taping up my Holga to stop the light leaking in and tips on film processing. After my reading I am thinking that my first role will be lucky to produce any photos at all.
This book is full of awesome examples of the wonderful poetic shots you can take with the Holga, I am so inspired. I have a vision of what I want to produce - photos of my 'real' life as a mother, what it looks like, what is feels like, not snap shots but more, the essence. I can see it in my head and I believe this is the tool to help me get there. I just have to learn it all first and be willing to face my failures and not get disheartened.
I wish my processing mailers would hurry up and get here!
