During my summer internship in Austin, I carried a loaded Holga with me in my car to most of my assignments. Whenever I saw something weird or interesting, I shot a few frames with the plastic camera. I also used it whenever I had the urge to take touristy photos while I was in Texas. Today I picked up the last roll from my trip after having it processed here in Peoria. I know the Holga is thought of as a trendy hipster camera, but I like to use it to get back to basics. You can’t chimp on a Holga, and you have to understand exposures to use the thing. It’s the photographic equivalent of recording an album on a 4-track.

Recently I discovered a more efficient way to post my square Holga shots to a blog designed for horizontals: Flickr. I never really got into Flickr until now. I’m using it as a way to build flash-based galleries of my Holga shots, which a plugin formats into nice columns. If you saw my original posts with the photos, you’ll notice a few new additions that I scanned more recently.

Here are a few more Holga frames from my trip to Europe last month. Schloss Neuschwanstein, roughly translated as the Castle of New Swan Mountain, is one of the most famous and popular castles in Germany. Built in the late 1800s, it is the inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Here are a few frames I took with my Holga last month in Salzburg, Austria. The multiple exposure below was an attempt to show a few sights in the city including Mozart’s tourist presence and the horse-drawn carriages.

Here are a few frames from my trip to Berchtesgaden, Germany last month. Berchtesgaden, located in Southern Bavaria, is known infamously as the home of the Nazi party elite during World War II. While there, I visited the Eagle’s Nest, which is known in German as the Kehlsteinhaus. The party gave Adolf Hitler the mountain-top house as a present for his 50th birthday. After the war, it was spared from demolition and it is now a museum and restaurant. I recommend the Wiener schnitzel and beer if you ever go.

Right now I’m in the process of scanning my Holga negatives, including shots from five rolls I shot in Europe. Here’s a frame that I posted earlier on the blog, except it’s now in full resolution and scanned properly:

So I bought a film, but converted it to black and white in Photoshop. A lot of the graininess comes from the way in which I scanned it, which I am sure is not the best way to scan 120 mm negatives. When I get back, I’ll post my Holga stuff here.
