so i can go outside and take more photos with my holga, and be inspired to use the duaflex as well. i took this double-exposure last summer during the parade that opens up the fun fest. it's on main street, of my dad standing on the sidewalk then i took a photo of the flower bed on the sidewalk. my dad doesn't 'get it' and says he doesn't like this photo because he can't see himself properly!
i plan on modifying the holga this summer to be able to run 35mm through it. i'll have to count clicks to keep track of how many rotations the wheel needs to make to get to the next exposure (since holgas were made for medium-format film they can't properly convey the exposure).
more information on the holga:
official holga page on the lomography website.
wikipedia.
a great site for holga modifications: square frog.
and tonnes of groups dedicated to holga and lomography (the original movement, which you can read about here) can be found when you search flickr for holga, lomography or any other combinations.
check out the holga, diana camera and the original lomo lc-a at the home of the lomographic society, along with events, users' 'lomohomes' and the shop here.

whenever i want to feel better (usually in the wintertime) i listen to this jens lekman song, 'a sweet summer's night on hammer hill.' it's quite possibly one of my favourite songs of all time. it's so sweet!
and a better-quality recorded version of this song (with swedish banter at the end!)
