I’m currently without my scanner so this is the best I can do for my results at the moment.
This is my roll of film for Go Holga 2009. Scans will hopefully be coming soon.

Street photography can be a daunting experience if you are not very confident with your camera.
Below are some top tips for getting some good street photography, whilst keeping your dignity as a photographer.
The amount of times I’ve fumbled around in my bag only to see a perfect photograph opportunity go to waste is silly. Keep your camera handy at all times, preferably as close to your face as possible, so you are always ready.

I am pleased to announce that the first roll of film for the Go Holga project has been done!
I completed the roll today as I couldn’t actually find my own Holga! (haha!) The film will be going to the lab tomorrow.
I have also invested in some mint green spray paint which I will be sprucing up the Holga with tonight.
I’m excited!
One concern with flying somewhere is that your cameras and films have to pass through both intense security and all kinds of baggage scanners.
Here are some top tips for getting your Holga cameras and films through there
One thing that you’ll want to do is leave your Holga unloaded until you get to the other side. The film in your camera can be sensitive to the baggage scanners, and security may want to check inside!

I plan to make the following mods before the Holga embarks on its epic journey around the world.
I would like to know if anyone has any more that they think should be completed. Also speak out if you don’t like the mods that I am going to complete.

I thought I would do the decent thing of showing everyone that has entered the Go Holga project, what they will be using.
Here are three quick pictures of the 120N..without some of the mods I am going to complete before it leaves!

One huge problem that new Holga users seem to have, is wobbly Holga photographs. The pictures seem out of focus, unclear and…well wobbly!
Fear not though, there is a simple explanation for this and its because of one button.

Its great having some debate worthy topics here on goholga, so I thought I would introduce a brand new one.
If you could change one thing on the Holga camera, what would it be?

Although I am not a fan of the whole digital craze, which is slowly destroying film, I do find the concept of turning your SLR into a Holga camera pretty hilarious.

Many would say that the best thing to do with your Holga lens cap is to put it straight in the bin. But there are arguments for and against keeping it.
I would say keep it handy, but be very careful if you plan to use it all the time. Film is expensive to develop and accidentally leaving your lens cap on will mean a blank frame.

Thank you to everyone that has left a comment over the past 10 – 15 days. I’ve been away on a climbing holiday and therefore I haven’t done much more to the site.
More updates will be on the way this week, as we try and get our feet back on the ground again.
Everyone that is in the goholga project is listed on my old computer, so don’t worry if you have paid. I know who you are!

Go Holga is on Youtube.
The channel has videos of how to perform various hacks and modifications to your Holga camera.
Please visit the link below to view the channel and subscribe.
For everyone that is involved in the Goholga project, I would like to let you know that it will still go ahead.
The main problems that we have now, are the fact that I don’t actually have the list of participants, and I’m not sure how exactly I’m going to get them back!
The good news is that the Holga 120N has arrived, and she looks beautiful. I will be decorating it prior to its launch, and most likely posting photographs of it too!
Stay tuned!
If you are reading this, then you may realise that goholga.com is now back on line.
The downside is, we have lost everything.
Goholga had a massive hack fandango that managed to plant code all over the pages and files of the blog and database.
With little experience I have of dealing with hacks, the best thing I could do was to start again.
I realise that for some time this place is not going to be as useful as it used to be, so I’m more than happy to accept any contributions.
More soon
