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!

First of all I would love to say that your blog is so inspirational and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
I checked all of the first four! LOL
ReplyDeleteCrystal 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!
Hello HolgaJen.
ReplyDeleteFirst 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.
Crystal Ball~ Thank you so much! I will send you an email.
ReplyDeleteDave~ 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!
I voted :)
ReplyDeleteExplanatory videos would be great! I'd also love to see more featured photographers
MORE SELF PORTRAITS!
ReplyDeleteand videos on how you set them up and shoot them.
You've a real talent for ideas here and are so photogenic.
