is an inexpensive, medium format120 filmtoy camera, originating in Hong Kong in 1982, that later came to be appreciated for its low-fidelityaesthetic. The Holga's cheap construction and simple meniscus lens often yields pictures that display vignetting, blur, light leaks, and other distortions. Ironically, the camera's quality problems became a virtue among some photographers, with Holga photos winning awards and competitions in art and news photography.
The camera was originally intended to provide an inexpensive mass-market camera for working-class Chinese in order to record family portraits and events.

I love the colors in this one.
I've seen this photo in lomomanila.ph and in multiply a couple of times and I should say that this photo really stands out! Impressive.
i do hope you've seen this image in my multiply site and not from some illegal (okay, somebody who gets something w/o permission. haha)photo grabber.
i really like this shot too, so this comment is deeply appreciated :)
