Holga Scan

2008-10-23T22:48:00.003-05:00

Result of a failed experiment. I tried using a 35mm film on my holga, during my India trip. Looks like, I did not modify the setup quite well, allowing too much light leaks and also scatching the film during the winding process. Never the less, the charm of a holga still comes thro! How about that cool sprocket effect? :)

Legend has it that these statues -found in the 4 corners of the structure at various heights- are suppose to bear the load of the temple structure. Legend also raises the questions as to how this is possible, when they themselves are supported by the structure :) Paradoxical & mytholgical , eh?
