Just when digital photography had finally gotten decent on just about anybody’s budget, some dude decided it was time to start dumbing them down. This quick n’ dirty project uses an old lens cap, a film canister, and some Dremeling to turn a digital camera into a faux-Holga film camera.
The Holga is an el cheapo comrade camera from China, which was a favorite in communist countries before catching on among the low-fi set in the West who liked its funky effects, light leaks, distortions, and other proletarian charms.
Oh, BTW, you need a Holga for this project, too. You can get them online for a whopping US$20.
