Due to this, I've decided to push myself into imperfection through analogue photography. However, I am yet to complete an entire film and wanted something more instant (I'm already battling one modern-age demon, don't ask me to go for two in one go). Through research, I found myself in adoration of Holga photography. Holga cameras are known to yield pictures with vignetting, blur, light leaks, lens flare, and other 'imperfections'.
I went ahead and purchased a Holga lens for my Lumix GX1 from Amazon for £12.99 (found here - for Micro 4/3 cameras) and I've been playing with it for a couple of days now. Here's what I've taken so far around Winchester and London...
I have to say that I'm loving the balance the Holga has given me. It's reminded me that not everything has to be perfect, and if anything, some things are better when when they're not.
Cheers guys,
O&U.
Love this post, I feel like perfection is something that is especially prominent in blogging and fashion and it's nice just to appreciate that imperfection can be beautiful too.

It's in the Details, Dahhling
Thank you, Martha. You're right about the perfection in blogging. Sometimes we take ourselves too seriously, it's great to take it from another angle.
DeleteI agree completely. I think I hated half of these pictures when scrolling through on my camera, but I love them now. I'd definitely recommend getting a Holga lens!
