In-Public
From the website: "In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.

Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what's really going on in the world around us."

More About Holga 

Lomo: The Official Source
from the website: "The iconic medium format plastic fantastic wonder that has inspired countless Lomographers to embrace the beauty of saturated colors, crazy focus, dreamlike perspectives, and sexy square prints. Alongside the cameras themselves - you'll find flashes, optical accessories, books, and amazing value packages."
Argonauta Productions
from the website: "A Holga is a plastic 120 film camera that is cheap, cheap, cheap and built like it. There is no cheaper way to get into medium format photography. There's also controversy over the Holga, with many people dismissing it as a cheap plastic toy camera, and many others taking astonishingly unique photos with it in spite of light leaks and considerable variation from camera to camera in lens quality, shutter speed, and f/stops. Think of the Holga as a rangefinder version of the Kodak Brownie and you won't be too far off the mark."
Wikipedia on Holga
from the website: "is a very inexpensive, medium format box camera appreciated for its low-fidelity aesthetic. The Holga originated in Hong Kong in 1982, and used 120 film, the most widely available film in China at that time. The camera was originally intended to provide an inexpensive mass-market camera for working-class Chinese in order to record family portraits and events. The Holga's cheap construction, combined with poor quality materials and simple meniscus lens often yields pictures that display vignetting, blur, light leaks, and other distortions. The often bizarre photographic results of these effects have ironically popularized the camera with an international audience, and Holga photos have won numerous awards and competitions in art and news photography."
Chris Groenhout on Holga
from the website: ""It's not the camera that takes the photo; it's the photographer" is a comment heard time and time again in photography schools throughout the world, but is it true? On my last trip to the States, why did I take more photos with a twenty-dollar plastic camera than with my high-tech Nikon F5? The answer comes down to the plastic. Throw away your multi-element, multi-coated, auto-focus lenses and embrace the Holga. You've never had so much fun!"
Frank Van Riper on Holga
from the website: "This is David's "something different" - the camera that made this image. This is Dr. Burnett's Magic Box - a Chinese-made Holga, a laughably crude toy that, in the right hands, can perform miracles of light and shadow."
