Blast from the past

Two posts in one day, you can tell i am taking advantage of a quiet day at work!

I stumbled on these pictures at this site a few days ago and thought they were great! These are just a few examples. They were found in an alley beside some bins in L.A. I love this candid look into the past, the fashions were awesome and having not been born until the 80's, this is something I'd never have experienced! It looks like a fun, slightly informal wedding, full of characters.

I just wonder what happened to this couple, hopefully they are still happily together (although wedding pictures near the garbage doesn't bode well)...

Holga love

I have just purchased my first Holga and can't wait to use it!

I chose the 120 FN model with a built in flash as i don't have my own flash gun. I did my research and have seen so many gorgeous images that this old camera has produced, I just had to have one.

It is a back to basics camera, it uses 120 film, and is almost entirely made of plastic (lens included). It is famous for its rich, vintage looking shots with a few light leaks and some vignetting thrown in aswel. 

I will once again have to take my film in to be processed and wait with anticipation to see if there are any little gems, sounds great! It is in the post to me as i write this, i'll update you when it arrives and can't wait to post some holga-tastic pics!
