Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Holga: The World through a Plastic Lens
Customer Review: One way or another, it is inspiring
Summary: 3 Stars
This book inspires me because the photographs included are a bit on the mundane side (or at least as mundane as Holga photographs could be). I thumbed through it right after I got it and was inspired - to take better pictures than half of the ones included in the book. I think it's an excellent source of information for the ultimate beginner who knows absolutely nothing about medium format or toycam photography, but the problem with this is that as their skills grow, this will not remain a handy reference.
Some of the tips are helpful and intriguing...but only if you know nothing about what Holgas are capable of. If you know you can expose the same shot as many times as you want, then you most likely have already figured out the concept of exposing a roll, rewinding it, and trading with a fellow Holga snapper.
Some of the tips were new to me, and I did utilize them - namely the spooling of two rolls of 35mm film onto two empty 120 spools. (I keep thinking there was another, but for the life of me, right now I cannot think of what it was.)
Overall, it's a good source for the very uninitiated. It's inspiring, whether you are inspired because you like the included photographs or you don't. Some of them are wonderful, and positively inspired me to load up my Holga. It's nice to have lying around, and there has to be a tip for everyone, no matter how experienced they may or may not be. I do think the price is a little hefty for what is included, but it's up to the reader to find their own deal.
