So I dig this photo of mine.

skomra and AKA33 both added it as a favorite. That's high praise indeed. I bike by this building all the time to and from work and Dainen-ji. I like the concrete surrounding the windows and the patterns the windows make. For this shot I accidentally left the camera on "bulb". This can be disastrous if you want things in focus. My intention was to have a sharp image, but Holga images don't tend to be sharp. What was I thinking? Who knows because it was a while ago that I took this and I can't remember. So what I was to say about this picture is:
1. Square format is awesome.
2. Holga accidents can be awesome, unless the accident was not to take the lens cap off. Holga is not TTL, the viewfinder looks through a different hole than the lens.
3. I think no tripod and "bulb" setting should be explored and experimented with.
4. I love Kodak TMAX Black and White film because it is very forgiving regarding exposure. My Holga 120N only has one exposure because I haven't modified the aperture mechanism. Instructions to to so can be found here. Thank you squarefrog!!
