Selection of 8 black & white photographs using my Holga camera. Taken from various travels around the Canterbury region.

The Holga as Counterculture:
Holga Camera Holga cameras are made in China and consist of an all plastic body, single element plastic lens and use 120 size roll film. The resulting photos have a soft focus, heavy vignette and frequently feature light leaks (See 'Austin' for example).

In a world of technical innovation and automation, the crude bulky design, and quirky characteristics of the Holga have risen the camera to cult status.
