ernie, this is for you. i put the holga to work! do you like? it's on the homepage of shopdetour.com right now. i had to have jason take a picture at the same with my nikon d80 ... to use as a pretty expensive flash. but it worked. we employed a very elaborate system of counting off (1-2-3) to try to synchronize our shots so that the nikon flash would go off for the holga picture. ha. anyway. i need a hot shoe. is that what i need? is it like the shoe phone?

Love the pics! How did you scan them in? I had to create a whole elaborate cardboard contraption to hold the negatives when I scanned in my negs...total pain in the butt. Daniel had me convinced that if you didn't keep the negs above the scanner glass, that you'd see a moire pattern...Audrey can explain "moire" and "parallax"
As for the hot shoe, you can get a Holga with a hot shoe. I think the Holga flash is about the same price as the camera. There are also Holgas with a built-in flash which is convenient.
The shoe phone is where it's at!
Looks like Audrey and Scott are too afraid to post messages.
i just scanned them using my super awesome epson expression 1600 i got on fire sale for brady. now i call it "mine". i put the negatives directly on the glass because i can't find the plastic things that hold the negatives (hence why they are crooked ... it looks 'artistic' but that's just a mistake).
and do you really think i care or now what a moire pattern is? i care much more about one tail distributions than moire patterns... so you can imagine how much i care.
scott isn't posting because i'm not using correct capitalization ... don't you know it kills him when people don't use caps and useful punctuation like periods. i like ... and ... and he probably just can't take it. kind of like if someone got on here and overused exclamation points. that really kills me. and i'd have to kick that person off my blog. so no one use excessive exclamation points. or question marks for that matter.
jill might also have a problem with that and throw you down at book club. she also probably doesn't appreciate all my little cases. I'll work on that. Like that.
Oh, by the way. My Holga has a flash but it's absolutely useless. I'm going to find me a "Holga flash". I'm sure it's much better than the "Holga flash" that is on my Holga. Oh. Wait.
I think the preferred "flash" for the Holga is a pen light duct taped to the top of the camera. However, once you "install" the "flash" you can never remove it because ripping the tape off would result in the camera breaking in half. Ernie is super rich though so he has a closet full of Holgas. Tens and tens of dollars in that closet...pretty impressive.
BTW, I love how Scott can be peer pressured into posting on my blog. Let's start peer pressure on Brian.
We'll work on Brain. Speaking of peer pressure, we need to get Scotty to drink some wine with us.
