i bought my first holga today. [from photoshop, in baseline].  i got the kit. i've been wanting this a long time [since may, actually] to say im happy is an understatement. :P i'm excited.  the processing may take some time since there ain't many shops here that'll process the 120mm films used in the camera.  it's a plastic camera, very light.

holga, according to the paperback book inside the kit, was made in 1982 in hongkong.  it became popular in the united states during that time and spread to europe in the 1990s.  whew.
this is the cover of the 194-page book included in the kit.  ;P


golden rules lomography:

+ take your camera wherever you go
+ use it any time - day and night
+ lomography is not an interference in ur life, but a part of it [hmm, serious]
+ try the shot from the hip
+ approach ur subject as close as possible
+ don't think
+ be fast
+ you don't have to know beforehand what you captured on film
+ nor afterwards
+ don't worry about any rules

i'm ready to "point" and "shoot"
