<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: justify;">My plastic toy camera never cease to amaze me. Unlike all other cameras, this one is very cheap & easy to use. Load the film, cover all sides with black masking tape to avoid light leaks & you're ready! It doesn't need extra care. Toss it around & no need to worry about cracking or scratching the lens (more scratches, the better!). After processing my film, I couldn't wait to be in the darkroom & be surprised with what I will see. Thanks to Dave Scaringe, a professional photographer for introducing me to Holga. All these were taken in the North Shore of Long Island, NY. </td></tr>

All my negatives were damaged when our basement got flooded back in 2006. I also lost some of my paintings, drawings & books on photography & yoga. Luckily, I made several prints & had them scanned before the disaster happened. On the one hand, it is unfortunate that I can no longer print these in the darkroom. After that painful experience, all my negatives & photographic paper are now stacked way up on the shelves. </div><div><br />
