Toy Cameras: The Holga with U of U Continuing Ed
Put down your digital and don an old beauty instead as local artist Eva Jorgensen teaches how to use the beloved thing they call the Holga. The class is offered through the Lifelong Learning program with the University of Utah and while they call the class “Toy Cameras,” Eva thinks a more appropriate title might be “How to Take Arty-Looking Photos With Only Minimal Skill, Effort, and Money … But With Maximum FUN!”
If you couldn’t tell, it’s destined to be an excellent course and it’s ideal for all of you eager to explore a new medium. Don’t have a Holga hiding out in Dad’s garage? No problem, you can find one here and you won’t have to break the bank, either.

I think the joy of the holga is that it’s the one camera you don’t need a class to have fun with. Pick it up, point it in the direction of something you like, and click away.
Not that people shouldn’t take the class, just, if you can’t….go get a holga ($12? please! that’s one lunch out you can sacrifice!) and start making medium format waves!
