Wanted: Your Opinion and Suggestions for The Holga Darkroom!

Things have been a little quiet around this neck of the woods. I think the winter dreariness is finally getting to me. I don't want to let it win - but I need your help. Over the past few months I've been posting different topics and categories and trying to broaden my blog into something a bit more useful than just me sharing my recent photos.

I would like you to please vote on what you'd like to see more of on this blog. Or perhaps you have a suggestion that I haven't listed. If so, please leave a comment here and let me know what you think! The poll is right at the top of the page!

Voting will be open for a week, until Friday, March 5, 2010 at noon, EST.

Some of the options are self explanatory, as I've already posted some of them.

I was thinking today about maybe trying my hand at some short how-to videos - which would basically just be me showing you how I use my Holga. Perhaps how I tape it up, how I load and unload film, how I set up some of my shoots, or taking the video on the road with me & my Holga. I don't know if this is a good idea or not - what do you think?? The bigger question being - am I brave enough to do it? If I get enough support from you all I promise I will give it a shot :)

Thanks in advance and I really look forward to hearing from you all.

Go check out my post on HolgaBlog today - Flickr Friday! I am really having fun looking through all of your photos and posting this weekly feature!

  1. First of all I would love to say that your blog is so inspirational and beautiful.
    I am a lover of photography and have been taking an interest in lomography. I don't have a Holga but I do plan on purchasing one.
    My photography professor has just let me borrow his and I can't wait to get some shots and develop them myself in my darkroom class.
    I really love the idea of you doing how-to videos so hopefully that is something you can incorporate in this blog.

    I don't have an extremely popular blog, it's a modest little piece of me but I would love to blog about you! Perhaps it could get you a bit more readers and I do have a couple of lovely blogger friends who have Holgas and also love lomography.
    If you are interested, then please email me at ccmillan@yahoo.com.

    Have a lovely weekend.

  2. I checked all of the first four! LOL

    Crystal Ball: Amazon.com has them on sale now for $18.99!!! Sweeet! I put a link on my blog to the sale. Full disclosure: I get a kickback if you use the link. Either way, hop on over to Amazon and pick one up!

  3. Hello HolgaJen.

    First I'd also like to say how inspirational your blog is.

    I would love to see more info on your process (ie step by step videos) but not sure if it would reveal too much of your secrets! Square Frog has a the basics covered with videos of how to load film etc. Was thinking more along the line of 'in the field' showing us shooting methods, if that's possible.

  4. Crystal Ball~ Thank you so much! I will send you an email.

    Dave~ it seems like that is what most people are doing! I should have made it so that you could only pick one ;)

    Charlie~ That is a great idea. Squarefrog does have the basics covered already you're right. Thanks!
