Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants

Holga Modification Tutorial Here

I’m totally crazy. I bought a Canon 5D mark ii online from B&H on my birthday (March 23rd). It arrived a few days later. It sat in a box by my desk for a month. This is the camera I’ve been reading and drooling over since it came out almost two years ago. I guess I’m just totally OCD. It’s like I have to read the manual first even though I’ve been shooting with the mark i already, or maybe the stars just have to be aligned perfectly for me to start shooting with this thing. Meanwhile I’ve found myself walking around with my Holga, my cheap little plastic toy wonder, and shooting up a few rolls of 120 Kodak film. So here I am with this $2,500 state of the art digital SLR at home, but I’m walking around with this $50 piece of plastic fantastic. So, I’m making a promise right now. I will strap a lens to the new 5D mark ii and start shooting with it… eventually. Heck, I’m off to Los Angeles in a couple of weeks. Perfect excuse. In the meantime, I’ll be posting nothing but these toy camera picks for awhile. Yay!
