With this you must prepare beforehand, and know exactly what you want out of a picture as you open the shutter. And once the film has been exposed, there is no "delete" function, that negative has that image forever burned into its chemical plasticity.

I might just snap up a Holga sometime soon. Looks like it could be fun.; 5:04 PM
