We both really loved your photography and plan to use it to help add some spice to our kitchen area. The block ideas were just a great treatment to an already nice work. I am excited to see that you use a Holga as well. If I can ever overcome this sickness and actually get outside, I plan to shoot the 6 rolls of film I have. @John: Thanks for the advice about the printing companies. I had heard about some place named Showcase (or something along those lines) in downtown, but living in McDonough, it is not always easy to venture out for a roll of film. I will be sure to check those places out, though, when it comes time to develop the Holga film. @Rebecca: I was actually shocked, as my wife does not, as a matter of habit, purchase art.

I might recommend that you avoid Wolf, Ritz, and any of those other chain shops. If you want 2 1/4 developing, then i would use either E6 (www.e-sixlab.com) in Midtown or Adventure Photo (autodarkroom.com) in Buckhead. Adventure still hand processes B&W and they have loads of experience. Both can develop within a day or two. Bring it out on Ponce when you get a chance. You'll have to tell me how you all got into city hall. The Holga is a blast, you’ll have some fun. I might recommend that you avoid Wolf, Ritz, and any of those other chain shops.

Thanks for that. As you know the Holga is a dear friend of mine and if you have questions just drop me a line. I just get my negs developed then scan them into my computer and make any adjustments, but not too much. It's a lot cheaper that way and much more control. Also get some black gaffers tape to seal up the sides, it will leave no glue mess and it's good for a few turns. have fun with it! Rebecca Hi Dub,

Takes about a week to get the film back, but that is part of the excitement. I called a local Wolf Camera and they said they can develop the film for me.

I researched it a bit after my post, and read about the light leaks, but every review tends to say that it is what makes the camera so popular. How does developing go? Find a Dark room? Or are there alternative methods to getting them printed? If there are, I might just pick one of them up soon. Thanks Dub, and damn, thats nearly a steal with what I’ve seen.

I spent some time yesterday looking through user groups etc, and the weeks before that at finding a way to copy the effect through Photoshop. While I got reasonably close, I could never quite nail it 100%, so I thought I would just get one of the cameras. The cheapest camera is about $26. Mine was a little more because of the flash. All in all, I paid about $70+ for the entire order and shipping. The features of the camera are its poor construction and tendency for light leaks.

How much did that badboy run you? For such an odd looking camera, looking through some of the shots in the groups, it’s pretty impressive. How much did that badboy run you?
