holga-versary, sharing is caring

this blog post marks the last of my holga-versary week posts and i hope that you have enjoyed it! this may be the last post but that does not mean that we have to stop the celebration of the holga. to this end, i have compiled a list of links of websites, blogs and flickr groups dedicated to sharing the awesomeness of the holga.

holga-versary day #5

ARCHITECTURE

in university, i did one class on singapore architecture and from there i learned lots of interesting facts about singapore's architectural landscape. it's fascinating that such a small island has so many historical buildings like the cathedral of the good shepherd (first photo on the right) which was built in 1832. i also always thought that singapore's public housing (or flats) were rather cookie cutter but i learned that there are actual many different architectural styles according to different periods. i was and remain fascinated by architecture. i love to find out the history of the building and poke around in different niches and nooks in the building. and it goes without saying that i love to point my holga at them!

the winner of the holga-versary giveaway is...

KATIE

of one of my favourite blogs curating cuteness and my korean language twitter partner in crime! i can't wait to see her use these films in her golden half for her weekend road trips!



and finally, a big big THANK YOU to you who joined in my first little giveaway, it has been really fun doing it, and i hope in future i can do a bigger giveaway to thank everyone for being so supportive of this little space!



holga celebrations on this blog is still on-going! remember to check in here tomorrow, i still have two more posts prepped and ready to go!

MY GRADUATION

my digital camera gave up its ghost during the crazy photo-taking session we had after collecting our degree. luckily my holga came to the rescue and i still have lots of lovely memories of my graduation day.



BEST.DAY.EVER! (i can't believe it's been almost a year since i graduated.)

holga-versary day #2

FLASH SHOTS

i love that the holga has a hotshoe which i can attach a flash with colour filters. instead of just a normal flash at night shot, i can create crazy pictures with all sorts of different colours. and with the multi-exposure button, it gets even wilder!

MY FIRST ROLL OF FILM



welcome to holga week! it's been one year since i bought my holga and it's been such a fun ride! i am so excited to celebrate my holga-versary with you. for the first post, i thought there's no better way to kick off this week sharing with you my favourite shots from my first row of film or technically the first row that i managed to develop! my real first row of film was a dud. you can imagine how excited i was when i finally finally managed to successfully develop out some images!

How was your first shots? If you do share your shots, send me your blogs links and I will link them up. You never forget your first roll!
