Do you guys ever feel like you’re neglecting some of your cameras that you used to love? I do. Recently I had this weird feeling that I’ve been neglecting my Holga and thus loaded a long expired roll of Agfa Portrait into it. As some of you might know, I’m extremely busy recently trying to spend lots of time with my boy, trying to get him used to life without the *##@*&!@*&!! maid of mine … and so being trigger happy is quite a torture at the moment. Oh that probably explains why there are quite many photos of him in this roll.He even got used to the Holga camera and now will demand that I use a particular color flash on him when I’m trying to photograph him. He’ll come forward and turn the color flash dial before ‘posing’ for me.
Anyway, I managed to finish a roll on my Holga but unfortunately (as I’ve mentioned in a recent entry), the bloody sponge in the camera came off while I was at the end of the roll! I was shocked to see a strange black object going thru the red film counter display at the back of the camera … and ended up managed to remove the sponge that camera off from the camera and got rolled into the film like a yummy chicken wrap! Hahaha! That’s why you will see lots of weird black dots in most of the frames. Must be the disintegrated sponge that’s doing all the work! I had to hide under my blanket to remove the piece of #*@*(!! sponge before sending the roll to the lab today. This roll of 120 seems to be sprinkled with some black pepper eh?
After the ‘sponge in a roll’ incident, now I’m thinking maybe I should just leave my Holga alone … without the piece of sponge! I hate getting surprises shocks too often. One thing I know for sure … I’m having a big time dilemma about choosing which ‘old friend’ to bring along during my trip to Tokyo in end April. I love my Diana (the old version) and at the same time … Holga is someone I’ve long neglected too. Argh! Decisions! Decisions! No … don’t tell me to bring both. My bag will be filled with diapers and milk powder!
This one below is one that he took himself … self portrait? 😀
