At the moment I have two reviews in there which you are more than welcome to check out. Leave a comment if you have anything else to add or feel that I have missed something important.

Go Holga Branches Out

Ok so we're all obviously in love with the whole of the toy camera vibe not just the Holga camera! That's why we've branched out and created a Facebook fan page for the Diana.

As you can see she's already getting quite a lot of attention, but that doesn't mean to say she doesn't like more.

Go ahead and add her over on Facebook here: http://facebook.com/diana.cameras

Looking for a Cheap Holga?

Just a quick post here folks. I was just browsing on Amazon and I've been surprised on two counts! one, they have quite a lot of Holga and lo-fi stuff on there and Two, they are actually quite reasonably priced.

I reccomend going over and taking a look if you are looking to get hold of one.

Check out prices for the Holga 120N.

Thanks for reading, more posts soon!

Go Holga Redesign

Hello readers! Just a quick post to ask if you are all enjoying the new layout? I was particularly happy with the new header image that I installed last night! Really adds a nice depth to the blog.

The only thing I'm struggling with now is 'older' and 'newer' posts links at the bottom of the page. They seem to have disappeared making navigating around the site much harder!

I'll be looking into this today.

If you are having any other problems with the theme please leave a comment and let me know what it is.

Thanks again for all the comments and love!

Why Not To Buy A Digital Toy Camera

Digital (Ouch it hurt to type that) toy cameras are popping up all over the internet at the moment, but I want to share why I don't think you should invest.

What I don't want to do with this post is start a huge debate about digital vs film, because we already know the conclusion...film rocks harder.

What I want to show you, is that there is little, if any point investing in one of these little money making creations, because you probably already have one on you...Your mobile phone camera.

Providing you have a mobile phone camera and some kind of image editing software. Gimp is a good choice for those who can't rip off *cough splutter* afford Adobe Photoshop CS5.
