Once upon
a time, creativity flowed from within us, not from gadgets, technologies and
apps. Toy Camera Zine explores the world of photography with inexpensive
cameras and real film, with a focus (ok, pun intended) on the Holga.
Lomography.com describes the Holga like this: the unassuming Holga is here to save you
from a future of digital pixels and images shared on small screens on cameras
or phones. We have all become numbed with photography, there is no denying it,
but a chunky camera made almost entirely of plastic has been put on this Earth
to save us. It will reawaken your vision, fill you with joy, make you see
beauty when you thought it had disappeared forever, and bring out sunshine on a
cloudy day.
Nicci’s zine is filled with fun ideas and projects for
playing with toy cameras, along with some basic operational info about the
Holga, and some examples of her own artistic vision. Toy Camera Zine is quarter-sized,
29 pages, hand sewn binding, printed on high quality paper and available from
Sweet Candy Distro.
