Holga Discoveries

I have film, but I don't use it terribly often.  But every time I get film back from the developer, it's a little surprise that's been waiting for months to be opened!  Recently I sent two rolls of Holga film to my usual specialty film developers, Dorian Color Lab in Arlington, MA.  Within a week I got my film back in the mail, and it was beautiful!  This film had been unfinished for months.

The finished roll would sit on my desk but one roll wouldn't be worth shipping out to my developer. It took me a while to finish at least 2 rolls to ship out.
