Bayside, Jersey Shore

There are times when I can't decide whether to stomp on this plastic contraption or swear I'll never use another camera. For all the frustration it gives me - even on this roll, where some images I needed sharp are wobbly - I suppose the pleasure of the Holga is in never knowing what you'll get. There is something about conceiving an image and waiting, letting it take shape in your memory as you await the film to come back from processing, that's very satisfying. More satisfying, though in a different way, than the immediacy of the digital camera.
