A few of you have started to remember about the Go Holga project that was supposed to happen way back in 2009. Everyone contributed £1 and I bought and painted a Holga.
The only problem was, when trying to complete the aperture hack, (to cut a long story short) I messed up, so for a while I didn't really know what to do.
The good news is a few weeks ago I set about fixing her and the camera is usable again, but only with the larger aperture.
This shouldn't be a problem: If its sunny, use a slower film, if its overcast just pop in some 400asa.
My plan for now is to do a mini project around the United Kingdom. If that goes well I will then plan one for the USA only, and if that goes in maybe the rest of the world.
I have some names for the UK project, and will be posting the camera out soon.
Thanks to everyone who made it possible by contributing, and sorry if you're not going to be a part of it right away. It will happen one day though. I promise!
