I was searching around on the Urban Outfitters website when I saw their Red Holga camera for pre-order. I've always wanted a camera that creates cool light effects, but never knew how it all worked. If you go to the Lomographic Society's Holga website you can find more info about the camera, but to sum things up, the camera is made of mostly plastic (including the lense!), and it's known for its unpredictable effects, blurred edges, vignetting, and funky light leaks. They go for between $25 and $50, depending on which model you get. I bought mine from Adorama, they seem to have good prices.
I love that old vintage look! The trick to getting those great colors is to use slide film, but getting it developed as regular color film (this is called cross-processing). My husband and I went to Hunt's Photo and Video in Melrose, MA, and got a bunch of expired slide film for cheap! I'm not much of a photographer but here are the results:
