One roll of 35mm film shot in a Holga toy camera over the course of a week during lunchtime neighborhood walks. Captions were written after the photos were assembled for this web gallery. This roll got a bit stuck in the camera, and only 8 total images were made before rewinding. Displaying 7 shots from one roll is unusual, 7 out of 8 even more unusual. Enjoy the unusual, or usual. I can’t tell the difference anymore.

- I took the Olds out for a joyride.
-
- There was a representational art show on the side of an RV in Berkeley.
-
- Afterwards I stopped by my friend’s house to check out his hotrod.
-
- It was a sunny day, and his neighbor the truck driver was
-
- doing some remodeling on the house.
-
- The leaves and berries were falling. Everything was falling.
-
- I realized that I couldn’t do anything about it, so I stopped trying.
I like the initiative (caption) in your last image. These stories by caption are great. It puts your work into a narrative style (Holga is great for this) which is different than your night photography. Hope to see more.
Awesome shots here, I really like the one of the beat up rusty car. The tones look really 70s as well!
Jay – Thanks for your encouragement on the Holga stories. These are really fun to do.
Durkin – Thanks! The scans are pretty straight, only minor tweaking in Lightroom on the color.
I have *got* to get myself a Holga. Developing the roll of film will cost more than the camera did!
Hi Michael – my local lab will do develop only on C-41 film for $5-6, depending on if it’s 35mm or 120 format. I’ve posted a few links to previous “how to” articles on shooting 35mm film in the Holga, Holga-rama, and scanning with borders. Cheers – Joe
