Holga,Diana, and... Me Photo Gallery by Ann LT at pbase.com

Holga,Diana, and... Me

I'm always amazed at what these cheap plastic toy cameras can do.
Quirky,fun,unpredictable!

I've included the name of the film used for each image but they do not represent the true quality of the film as I "manipulate"
my photos.

All images taken w/ either a Holga 120N or Diana + and scanned with an Epson Perfection 4490 photo scanner

This is turning out to be one of your best galleries. Not that the others are bad! ~V~

An American compendium of everything and nothing. A democratic, joyous eye. Thrilling stuff, Ann.

Awesome gallery, Ann. Love the Holga look and you've found perfect subjects to take full advantage. V.

I love these images!! They remind me of the photographs my parents used to take.

Bravo Ann ! Thanks Holga ! ... JL V

I have a problem, Ann. My Holga doesn't have a cracked lens, nor does it leak light. What shall I do? I'm in a quandary Frustrated Photograher

Good "Holga" gallery!!

Tim Castlen		11-Dec-2007 00:48
This is an amazing gallery, Ann! The colors feel like they're right out of my childhood.

Fabulous gallery, GMV

Wow.. how fun! No matter what camera you use, you do well because you have a gifted mind.

this is my favourite gallery on p base.

shatterbug		18-Sep-2007 21:05
What's really great about this gallery is that you are so adept at shooting images that take advantage of the Holga's characteristics...terrific photography!

I like Manny's use of the word 'raw'...these are so basic...relying on the fundamentals of good image making. Some have such a retro feel to them. love it. KMc

Wow cool....so raw, so spontaneous. V

so amazing ! i love the style

francesco scipioni		29-Aug-2007 02:03
i love the "lomographic " pictures!! holga and speed graphic are my favourite cameras. -v-

patrickjoust		24-Aug-2007 23:21
These are so awesome! I think this gallery shows what an amazing photographer can do with a cheap plastic camera. Fantastic work Ann!

Dan		07-May-2007 19:02
Ann, as usual your work is wonderful, though I suspect the Holga takes a lot of credit, too. My folks produced these kind of photographs for years with their Kodak Brownies. In fact, I've got albums full of their "work." LOL !!!!

petem		02-May-2007 03:25
Love it. These are so cool. I've only tried by digital cheating. (shhh)

emmanuel_fr		27-Apr-2007 10:47
I'm in love with this fantastic gallerie! Congratulations and vote.

sergevc		11-Mar-2007 18:40
Wow, I really love this gallery! Amazing stuff. I also have a Holga but only used once, shame on me...

Naomi Sheaffer		29-Jan-2007 14:17
I think it's mostly the photographer's eye, and not the camera, that counts. GMV

Adrian Reilly		28-Jan-2007 17:29
Love the new additions Ann

Tiago Gracio		11-Jan-2007 21:12
Yes, I really like the tones of this cheap $20 Holga... I heard somewhere that, to get a nice shoot, the work is made by 50% from Light, 40% from photographer and 10% from equipment ;) so you did a great work in this gallery. Really nice Ann. Tiago

shadowsurfer		04-Jan-2007 17:38
You and plastic fantastic seem to getting along quite well. I am most impressed with the b/w images. Nice gallery and please share more.

Brian Klimowski		04-Jan-2007 06:00
This is a wonderful gallery - extremely well presented. Thank you for sharing this, Ann, and inspiring me! Brian

Ben Ungar		19-Dec-2006 03:28
:) These are all wonderful images. In fact, this gallery has inspired me to put the holga on my christmas list!

Antje Schulte		01-Nov-2006 20:35
Wonderful, inspiring images! Wonderful light and very moody.

Adrian Reilly		29-Oct-2006 20:45
great to view these images again:-)

Bernd Koenemann		03-Oct-2006 15:19
It's interesting how the somewhat myopic world view of this camera influences the visual perception of the picture contents.

andy_farrington		01-Oct-2006 19:37
Excellent Anne - I'm not yet brave enough for colour film with Holga!!!

sebas veldhuisen		13-Sep-2006 21:16
I love this gallery. The pictures are so sensitive. I couldn't resist ordering a Holga as well. Probably get it tomorrow. Any advice for loading films? ;-)

Andy Thomas		05-Sep-2006 16:43
Hi Ann - these look great. I have a Holga but have not had much joy out of it yet. Any hints?

fred_il		01-Sep-2006 16:02
Very interesting gallery! Holga and you, make a great couple!

Adrian Reilly		31-Aug-2006 20:54
loving the new additions, you and your cameras

Ray Pettit		31-Aug-2006 20:39
oh, and give my regards to Holga. Looks like she's doin' fine :-)

Steve Price		27-Aug-2006 17:48
Love it!

Guest		26-Aug-2006 23:24
It gets better and better... V

Fong Lam		26-Aug-2006 15:31
Refreshing images here. I'm always fascinated by Holga compositions with their light fall-off and image softness.

Jose Canovas		26-Aug-2006 14:00
I am glad that you investigate so much as it contributes to our photo knowledge and distraction very much. Thanks indeed.

Rafael Ollero		26-Aug-2006 04:40

Enzo Priore		25-Aug-2006 06:15

3/12...that's about how my first Holga roll went. nice pics, especially the wheel. -

Bryan Miller		13-Apr-2006 01:40
good to see you using the holga Ann. if we're not careful, that little $20 gem is going to replace all the digital sales :)) good start and I look forward to seeing this grow. once you have the film loading down, you can start processing your own films ;)
