Holga's are great cameras, i wont bore you with why or the history of them but look it up!
So a holga is a medium format plastic camera, medium format relates to 6x6 or 6x4.5 sized negs.

f.10 3 seconds 125iso fp4
So i'm basically practicing with the holga on a night out with some fp4 film loaded in when i see some fire swingers bla bla bla theirs the picture.
Anyways the following night i load some colour film in at a night club and start shooting! All is going well and i charge the flash to take another image and the back drops off! Now i expected this, the back of a holga is held togeather by cheap clips and when you buy a holga they even ship it with electric tape to hold it togeather!
Right so that was abit rubbish so i'm looking of better ways to hold my holga together when i stumble upon a camera hacking community known as Go Holga and they suggested Velcro!

Right so thats all set and done, but alot of people i speak to are compaling about how much it costs to develop film, well it costs alot less if you develop your own (black and white anyway). All you need is a developing tank a sink and 3 chemicals that wont cost over 20 pound for a few devs.
The 3 chemicals you'll need is stop fix and developer. After that check on the net for mesusurments and times and your well away! You'll also need a dark room to load your film but thats easy enough!
