Finished shooting my first roll of real film in years on my new Diana toy camera.  It’s been cool playing with Emily’s Holga, and even better to have my own one.  I have a mixture of feelings using it, from excitement waiting to collect the prints that will take over 24 hours, to fear that nothing will be on them.  These are good feelings and I feel I may get hooked on film.  There is something about the specialness of film, especially using these toy camera’s, where you are never quite sure they are going to work.  Taking photo’s of things all of sudden becomes special again, and it’s totally made me think about digital and how useful, but throw away it is.
