The last of the Holga black and whites before I move on to colour...



Contrived? Yes. Absolutely. Truly elegant? Not quite, perhaps. And yet I rather like this. Of course, my fingers itch to straighten the horizontal lines in the wall, but I have a feeling no amount of Photoshopping will solve that problem, given just how wavy those lines are. And anyway, lens distortion is one of the many charms of Holga photos; straightening the lines would rob the photo of some of its essential Holganess.
