little Holga Witch

Holy! Here's a wicked double-exposure shot of Chiyomi taken with my Holga. It looks like she's floating out of herself with malignant intent! This fits right into our "eerie enchantment" theme.

This double-x was unintended. I forgot to advance the film after taking a shot (a common thing when using a Holga). There's one frame in roll that was completely blank, which means that I advanced the film thinking that I'd already taken a shot. :-P But that is part of the fun of using this camera. There's the element of surprise with every roll.

Che the pixie and Nerisa

I got five decent Holga shots but I think my LCA shots have more character. I feel a little bad also because I have two shots in my contact sheet that would've qualified as good and publishable if only I didn't click just as a photographer walked behind my subject. There were a lot of us shooting, so I guess it couldn't be helped. I feel so bad cos one of these shots was my only decent one of Cosette using my Holga. Sigh. I will just have to try again next time.

But all in all, I'm happy with my Holga session. It's about time I learned how to use it better.

Bong and I have another idea for a shoot that we're cooking up. When it comes to pass, it should be...rockin.

All my Witch Project shots (LCA and Holga) HERE. Do look =) Thanks!

Hi! Came across your blog, ganda ng shots! :) I'm also from lomomanila but i haven't joined any exhibits yet. Where'd you have your shot cross-processed?

hi mai! thanks!

i had my witch project shots crossprocessed at studio 58 on pasong tamo, cos that's where i had my holga shots processed din. they really offer crossprocessing.

but usually, i just have them xprod at this small lab in blanco building, in salcedo village (alfaro street). it's one of the very few labs that accept crossprocessing.

=) hope to see you at one of the get-togethers or shoots soon!
