exTRAVELganza: holga shots

so we got a holga camera when we went up to richmond for our anniversary. we shot a roll when we were up there, and none of them turned out very well. we took it with us on our journey back home, and shot almost 3 rolls. i just got 2 of them developed (still a few more to take to finish off the last roll), and there were a few that weren't too bad, if i say so myself! sure, they're not great, but at least some of them are partially in focus (although some of them are pretty dark, but i guess you'll have that with a camera like this)... here are a few:
