I'm in love with these ghostly retro images created with Holga plastic cameras (so called due to each camera being made almost entirely from plastic, including the lenses).
These cheap, retro cameras allow accidental light leaks and vignetting (darkening around edges) which give the photos a unique finish. I am tempted to buy myself one of these gems and get snapping, but I am going to make a pinhole camera first out of an old Werthers Original tin, to make some pretty surreal photographs inspired by work of the Surrealist Claude Cahun, who lived and dies in Jersey.
