The Holga camera is a cheap medium format 120 film camera made in China. The simple plastic construction and lens yields pictures that...
A few weekends back I volunteered my time to work a photo station for the Dumb Friends League Wagon Trails fund raising event to benefit their Castle Rock shelter, The Buddy Center. Looks like they raised almost $90,000 for the day so it was definitely a great way to spend the day. They had three...
