+ roll in a day +

give me an opportunity to play and i’ll usually take it
give me an opportunity to play and make photographs and i’ll always be taking it

the lovely jeanine asked if i wanted to do roll in a day with her and of course i said yes. i love doing stuff with her (in case you hadn’t already figured that out!)

i borrowed her holga as i’ve never used one before and wanted to try it out.
using something without the slr was a challenge and my framing was out for the whole roll. the compositions show more in the lower portions of all the photographs than i would have liked – something to remember if i play with this camera again… compose through the viewfinder, then move the camera up slightly!

i forgot to roll the film on after making the first photograph (a film reproduction of this one made with my iPhone), so ended up with a double exposure and one of the photographs didn’t turn out at all, as i suspected it wouldn’t – it was taken indoors and was far too dark for the wee camera to interpret. anything taken through a window, or inside just didn’t have enough light.

still, the results were good enough that i’d like to do this again.

anyone got a holga lying around anywhere they no longer use?
… i’d happily take it off your hands!
