i've been looking at cameras lately. my camera doesn't like working ever since my last trip through jfk and tampa international airports, so while i can't get my photo fix that way i've been looking and novelty-sorta plastic cameras online and three and garnered my attention:

the Holga 120

its a crappy little camera made entirely of plastic, even the lens. the frame is pathetic so light always seeps in unless you cover the seams with opaque tape. it also uses medium format film, but a whole bunch of websites show how to modify it for 35mm, referred to as "the new attitude"
why buy such a pathetic camera? look at these shots:



and 35mm comes out like this:




plus, i've found a few sites that sell an attachment to the back of the camera which lets it work as a polaroid camera, so you can enjoy the holga prints instantly:





more on the other two later, i've got stuff to do.
