The Death of Photography by Andrew Smale

‘The Death of Photography’ is an essay about the perceived death of film photography, and the suitability of film photography as medium for fine artists. It deals with the attitudes film photographers face from the ever increasing digital world, and how going back to basics with manual film cameras can be truly liberating. As you would probably guess the majority of this information is based around the impact of the Holga and its ‘no frills’ feature set. Andrew then goes even more back to basics by discussing pinhole photography. Towards the end of the book there is an excellent guide to semi-stand developing with Rodinal.

Mathematics applied to HOLGA cameras by stouf (via Lomography Blog)

“I ‘m going to make underwater shots with my HOLGA. I’ll put it inside an ewa-marine housing. Problem is that I won’t be able to see the shot number from the back…
So I though to make an external shot-counter. When you roll your film, you turn the wheel of a certain angle to fall on a correct shot position. This angle reduces as the diameter of the roll is increasing. Here, I used an empirical analysis (empirical means by experiment) to determine the good angles needed to turn the wheel in order to make 12 separated shots on a 120 film.
