My First Holga

These are the first shots from my new Holga camera. I had not taped the camera for light leaks, but there weren't many.

This photo is of a vacant lot in Saginaw, Michigan, the original location of the old fort. In modern times, the Ippel Department store stood here, and I have a fondness for the sign without a store. In back of the sign is another old building which has been wonderfully restored to house Jake's, a great eatery two blocks where I work.

I did alter this in Photshop for the sepia look.

This is an unaltered shot of a grid-like structure at the entrance to a hosptal where I make calls.

My Holga cost $12.
