A blast from the past. Around 20 years ago.
These are the only copies in my collection, although a little google-fu reveals there were 19 issues, total, published.
Very cool and a nice little trip down memory lane...

Bare trees against the clear sky. There is partially exposed film and a bleed through from the backing paper appearing ghostly in the sky reading “16). Vignetting at the corners and light leaks at the borders.
Photo of a field with a wooden fence enclosing a runoff pond surrounded by trees. There are areas of light leaks at the borders of the photo. The center of the photo is sharp but the edges are soft.
Looking down the sidewalk behind my building, most of which is in shadow, though the grass and trees are in the sun. Strong pattern of light leaks across the photo.
Front of my building with a bare tree to the left of the frame. Also a strong light leaks at the lower left of the image. Vignetting at the corners.
Well, it’s pictures…of a sort. Very #Holga, I think. I taped everything with gaff tape EXCEPT the frame count window. Apparently, I should have taped that, too. Light leaks everywhere!

A monochrome image of a payphone stripped of its phone and covered in band stickers. The bare handset wire protrudes from the middle of the kiosk.
Taken with the #Kodak #Charmera using the gray pixel filter at what used to be a payphone outside my local post office.

The video quality on the #Charmera is surprisingly good. Obviously, I was quite mistaken. It DOES record audio. Rather clearly, too. LOL!

Two Kodak Charmera blind boxes
Two Kodak Charmeras unboxed. One has a man’s finger resting on top of it for scale. These are Type 3 and Type 4 from the 7 possible designs.
Now my husband and I each own a Kodak #Charmera. They are so ridiculously tiny! Mine is the one on the right with his finger resting on it for scale.

A grainy monochrome picture of a happy white woman standing and probably thinking about sucking in her gut. What's interesting is that it's printed on a receipt from the bead shop she owns. The thermal print camera thoughtfully/through the miracle of SCIENCE printed over the receipt.
Someone, possibly @comfortableshoes.bsky.social , told me it was possible to print pictures on #ToyCameras on _used_ receipt paper and darn if it isn't true! We were amused. Maybe pictures of the goods bought at some point.

A color photograph of the front cover of the Toycam Handbook, the background is my garage floor.
Toycam Handbook.
Cool little book. 20 years old.
#toycameras #treasures #holgaweek
This guide, a few Flickr toy camera groups (many shooters, too), and a handful of Light Leaks magazines were creative fodder for me back around 2005.

Been after Nancy Rexroths book for a while - got a copy with a slightly faded dust cover but still wrapped for £23 and that I took a punt on the other book as it was £5 from “books about art” and looks fascinating.

A color photograph of the front cover of a small-ish book about toy cameras.
Cool little book. 20 years old.
This guide, a few Flickr toy camera groups (lotsa toycam shooters, too), and a handful of Light Leaks magazines were creative fodder for me back around 2005.
A great resource.

Photo of a headstone shot on a Debonair toy camera with Ilford Ortho.
Photo of a flower with an East German lens, shot on 8 ISO film
Photo of a sunset streaked with all the colors of the rainbow, with trees and industrial buildings in silhouette. The top of the image shows heavy vignetting and chromatic aberration is everywhere. Harman Phoenix, Zeiss Ikon Nettar
The gate at Melaten Cemetery in Cologne, shot on grainy, desaturated Orwo film.
Sometimes #pinholephotography or #toycameras or old Eastern European lenses or bad #film or even #antiquecameras can deliver more feeling, more visual intrigue, more of a sense of sehnsucht and anemoia.
#expressionist #photography uses imperfections to share an emotion.

A panoramic photo of a bay. An island can be seen in the background and a rocky coast sits in the foreground.
A panoramic scene of the Maine coast with boats in the bay. Clouds are in the sky and the rocky shore can be seen in the foreground. In the distance there are trees and houses.
Some more Maine panoramas. This was literally the first vacation in recent memory that was actually relaxing.

Toy camera captures on my commute today. Trying to carry around some camera daily that's not on my phone. There is so much joy in not looking for perfection. #campsnapcamera #photography #nyc #toycameras #passion

I lost a lot of my old photographs during my many moves. But I did find an album of photos from my days of walking around NYC with a 35mm Toy Camera.
