It’s been a bit quiet since the new year. It’s dark here in Scotland, real dark. I’ve not been doing to much photography lately, been busy at work with 8 websites to make before March, and trying to get my main site Goat Karma put into tumblr but that’s all forgotten now »

It’s that time again for the monthly best from Flickr! They are in no order at all, just the way I pick them from my favourites. If you appreciate any of the snaps, I suggest clicking through to that person’s flickr page to leave a comment and check out the rest of their »
I was meant to do this weeks ago, but didn’t, and now it’s probably too late, so let’s call this a New year buying guide instead. With a multitude of holgas and accessories out there, here’s a quick lowdown of ’stuff’ you can get for your holga, whether you are new to the camera, or if »
While at the Barras a few weeks ago I saw an old camera lurking in a mahoosive box of old camera junk:
It was a Cosmic Symbol , it was covered in dirt and bits of dust (and possible old food, urgh), but I bought it anyway for a few quid and cleaned it up. »
If you have the chance, browse the amazing collection of photos on the Magnum website Photographer section.
Every month I add about 50 or so photos I see on flickr to my favourites, so figured I would do a monthly blog post with the best ones in. Sometimes it may be a top 5, sometimes a top 63! This month there’s 39. They are in no order at all, just the »

One place immediately came to mind…Grangemouth Refinery. It’s ethereal mix of »
Welcome to holgablog, a blog about the world of film photography (with a handful of digital thrown in every so often too!).
Flickr Friday!
It’s that time again! TGIF!!
Each week, we will search the Holga Flickr group for photos added during that week and will post a few of our favorites, based on a theme.

You know the saying, “All work and no play…” Well, Friday [...]
Holga Wide and Tele Lens test shots
Here are a few test shots I took in my back yard a couple of weeks ago using the new Holga Wide and Tele lenses. For comparison, I stood in the same spot and took them all from the same angle (as best I could!).
I will keep trying out the lenses in some more different [...]
