As I was about to go pick up our Holga film, I was finishing up some emails and thinking about how excited I am to see our photography on film….actual film! After the Holga class we did for Mile High Photographers last week, we dropped off our film rolls and we have had to patiently wait to see the results until today. Part of the class that day was to decorate our cameras; because the Holga is a less expensive plastic camera it is easy to custom design it with stickers, jewels, lettering and colored tape. It was fun to watch everyone do this and transform their camera into it’s own piece of art. We even had a vote to see whose camera design was the best!
We spent the class in Idaho Springs and thanks to the Tommy Knocker Brewery we had our own private room to hang out in between walking around the town taking pictures. I had to laugh at one point when some of the class ran out of film so they had moved on to their digital cameras and iphones. We had a good group of people that day and we are so excited to see what beautiful images they captured! We are having a gallery opening to display the work of the students in the class next week, which will be a new thing for us and I can’t wait!
All MHP members, family and friends are invited!
