The Holga is an inexpensive plastic camera that shoots 120 film and has technical limitations and light leaks that cause various kinds of distortions.  It’s gained popularity with photography professors because it pushes students to think more about composition and less about technology.  Anyway, I don’t have a Holga, although I may get one sometime to play with, but I downloaded a Photoshop action that creates the same basic effects, although it’s kind of “cheating” because it does offer control over the finished product that using the camera itself would not.   This is a picture I took of Seifert Drug in Elkhart some time ago– “Holga-ized.”
