As many a sneering, photographic purist will tell you, the Holga is a technical disaster &#8211; the exposure and focus are somewhat uncontrollable, light often creeps in through cracks in the shoddy plastic casing, and it&#8217;s a miracle if every shot in a roll of film comes out. However, the images that do make it through the Holga&#8217;s random mechanics have an accidental, dreamlike magic that we just can&#8217;t get enough of.&nbsp; We want to know what you think. Read on to see our personal favourite Holga shots and find out how to show us yours\u2026<\/p>\n<p> Over the last few weeks we\u2019ve been showing off our Holga photos in the office and it seems that the joy we take from these images comes from our personal affection for the subject and the unruly, dreamlike light the Holga throws on them. Due to the imprecision of the wind on function, frames often overlap causing stray, ghostlike figures to wander into neighbouring landscapes and parties &#8211; creating an eeriness that is perhaps a large part of the camera\u2019s appeal. It doesn\u2019t try to capture high definition reality, it\u2019s only \u00a340, it can\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p> Some critics aren\u2019t quite so accepting of the Holga\u2019s flaws and distortions. Various online photography forums contain debates between \u201cHolga lovers\u201d and \u201cHolga haters\u201d.&nbsp; Here\u2019s a few examples of some less glowing reviews: <\/p>\n<p> <em> \u2018why should you buy a Holga when you can just smear jelly on the lens?\u2019 <\/p>\n<p> \u2018I&#8217;ll be damned if I have to like a crappy picture just because it was taken with a camera that barely works. There are reasons folks started using cameras with real shutters and lenses\u2019.<\/em> <\/p>\n<p> What do you think? Are you a lover or a hater?
