I almost skipped Holga Week this year. I am constantly getting home late, and the weather has been poor, so the opportunities just haven’t been there for me. I commented on a friend’s post, and she, plus the organiser, said…you still have time.
So I decided to pull on my big girl pants and just do it. I took the Holga to work and went for a short walk at lunchtime. I managed to shoot a few frames before heading back to class. Then I took the set-up to Caulke Abbey at the weekend to wander with my cousins. I finished the Rollei Retri 400 S film there.
So there was time after all. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. I won’t say they are my best shots ever, and some were far too dark to post here. They were dull days; I pushed the film, and 4 shots were still unusable. But in the end, I had one shot that I was happy to submit to the gallery. Can you guess which one? I think it is obvious.
The next special day will be 27/1/27…127 day. There is one in December, but I think I will be too busy for that…or will I?
I reckon the wood pile got the nod, it’s as contrasty as heck and worthy of Holga Week. As for 127 day, January 2027 is 127 Month! Yep, JM decided we can have a whole month of 127 fun seeing as we are the lucky ones that can do so for the first month of 2027. Everyone who misses it has to wait a century for the next one. Get stocked up on 127 film and have some fun.
Ooh thats good to know, I will definitely have time for it. I might get a new camera to try to.
And…almost, I chose the wood pile and dog photo.
