Your Toys?
-
So what toys are you using for your lo-fi photography?
Here are a few of my toys
Sweet little Holga 120 that you have posted bottom row center!
Thanks to this website for introducing me to a form of art I didnt know existed!
I have also signed up my kids and myself for a World Pinhole Day workshop. I built one out of an oatmeal box when I was in school and it opened a fantastic world.

Do you use all of those on a regular basis?
Actually I don’t have the time to use them all regularly. I wish I did.
Most of time I either use a Holga or Woca and my Lomo LC-A.
Jealous, indeed!
I have a holga, a lomo, and a bunch of pinhole cameras – oatmeal box, shoebox, 4×5 film box… and the latest, which i can’t wait to try out: my pringle potato chip cameras!!! anytime i’m at the pub and i see someone gobbling down a snack i convince ’em to give me the container when they are done….

I can’t wait to see how these turn out.
ooh I really want on eof those polariods…
Another thing I;ve bid on a couple of times but never won or followed through.I’ve also tried to win an SX-70 on eBay but with no luck so I use the Pronto that cost me less than $10 and can use Time Zero film.
And that Fujipet looks great – they don’t make cameras designed like that anymore unfortunately.
Love all your toys. I get kinda confused when i have too many cameras. Can never make up my mind what to use. So going to keep things simple with the Holga. Its served me well in the last year. However i have bought a Olympus pen half frame camera recently as a point and shoot with the idea of making one photograph from two images. Not really a toy but they are getting popular again.I still get a longing when i see all these beautiful cameras, especially that SX 70.

That is one gorgeous looking camera okay. Straight out of Joe 90 or one of those other 70’s puppet animation shows…just so cool looking. :D
At the moment, i just have my Holga 120CFN, and my matchbox pinhole camera.
But Im planning on getting a few quid and buying a Lomo, and maybe a WOCA. Id also love to get a polaroid back for my Holga too tho.
