Someone asked about what exactly a Holga camera is. It's basically a inexpensive, medium format, 120 film, toy camera.
Since it's plastic & cheap-y the pictures come out with double exposures 
(bottom pic), distortion, light leaks (the hose pic), lens flare (top pic), & all sorts of other fun "mistakes".
It's definitely a more "artistic" photography form- the limits & quality issues are what make it fun.
I personally shoot in the square format because I dig the way it looks, but you do get less shots on a roll. If you have any other questions email me.
P.S. Thanks dad for introducing me to the wonderful world that is Holga.

I totally want one too! i'm stuck with my lovely camera phone that does absolutely nothing compared to this. granted i don't have lots to take pictures of but how much fun does this all look!!
Love your pictures! They do turn out really neat!
I've been wanting to get a Holga for awhile now. How do you develop the pics? Where do you find your film?
Here's the recipe for those Caprese Sandwiches!
