Photography Site of the Day – holgablog.com

If you’re into Holga, lomo, toy cameras, or if you’re just curious about what that movement is all about, you owe it to yourself to check out Holgablog

I’m really enjoying this site. From the menu, it has

* News
* Reviews
* Tutorials
* Photography
* Processes/Editing
* Competitions
* Editorials
* Monthly Best
* POTM (Photographer of the Month)

Excellent material.

Be sure to check out the Holga Manual they have posted in cooperation with the good people at Freestyle. It shows everything from loading film, using it and making multiple exposures to modifying Holgas and finding light leaks. The Holga comparison chart alone is worth the download. Any reader of this blog knows I like to find manuals.

Lomo Documentary Videos

Here is a very interesting documentary by the BBC. This covers the development of a lomography society as well as the history of the Lomo company in Russia. There are some great examples of lomography, some footage of the Russian revolution as well as World War II footage from Russia, and the story of how Vladamir Putin became involved in this movement.
