What a bad lens. It looks so nice though!

this image, and your other posts as well, are a wonderful digital homage to the holga/diana/cheap-plastic-camera genre of photography. very nice.

sorry for the short-winded comment, but i wanted to be notified of other comments.

My photographs aim at being true, not at being beautiful because, [i]what is true[/i] is most often beautiful.

I agree with Mark here. This is an excellent example of how one doesn't need much to create an interesting image.

I've heard of stories where people would smear vaseline on the front of their holga to create more distortion. Not that you should try that with this one - but at $20, it'd be fun to try...

Some nice colors. Other than that nothing that really holds my attention.

I like it better after airbrushing my friends out and cropping closer

Actually I like it better with the people. The lens on that camera does some interesting things to OOF areas.

I wish I could make out more detail. The smaller version you posted speaks to my super-saturated sense of color but I also like it better with the people holding their place in the composition.
