At Toycamera.com, this past October 25th was declared the first annual World Toy Camera Day. Members/participants were to take their plastic wonders out and take photographs, and then submit a scan of their favourite. The submissions would be posted in the Toycamera.com forum; viewers and participants would then vote for their favourite, and the winner would receive a modified Holga from Holgammods.com loaded up with all the options. I took my son to school that Saturday morning, and then drove to nearby Moody St. in Waltham, Massachusetts in mid-morning, and took a handful of shots. But I didnt finish the roll that morning, and basically just failed to make the submission deadline. If I had, I would have submitted the fourth shot below (the firehouse). I'm looking forward to submitting next year. These exposures were made on Kodak Portra 400VC. (Click images for a larger view.) |
