As a transplanted lomographer in New York City, I found that my real home was where I wasn't. Photos of my beloved adopted hometown, and the reasons why our pizza (and our city) is the best in the world.

We all love a little colour in our flash. I was looking at buying some coloured gels. This got me thinking, I already have loads of filters sitting around, so why buy more? So, I came up with the idea of mounting a filter ring over my flash.

Cornwall forms the tip of the southwest peninsula of Britain and has the mildest and sunniest climate in the whole of Great Britain and is known for its beaches and rugged coastline. Here I give you an idea of some of the great places you can visit, like I did with my black-and-white film.

Coming from Australia, the chance to drive to places in the States, like Chicago, still seems weird to me. I challenged myself by only taking film cameras on the trip and was shattered when I received back all the black-and-white rolls from my Holga, which in one view had been ruined by the lab. I now think that the dust spots, scratches, and chemical marks all add to the photos' charm making them look even more vintage.

See what you can do with your Holga when you DON'T use the 12 or 16 mask. It's naked, leaky, and overlapping fun. I have been using my Holga without either the 12 or 16 frame mask and have been getting some really nice results. I love the exaggerated vignetting and light leaks that occurred on every picture. These pictures all came from The Art of Waiting roll from September 2010, shot on Fuji Velvia.

If you are a hardcore Holga fan or have already taken the time to look up some sites featuring Holga mods and hacks (or to take apart your camera for that matter), you will know that the Holga, despite sporting a switch for two different aperture settings for sunny and cloudy conditions, only features one aperture. This is due to the fact that switching from cloudy to sunny causes an arm to slide in front of the lens opening, the area of the hole on that arm (which is supposed to allow less light in) is larger than that of the aperture; i.e. the amount of light remains the same.
