Holga cameras -- they're kind of dinky and plastic, so it makes sense -- are known for their imperfections. When I snap my first pictures on a roll of 120 film, who knows if there will be wild lighting flares, heaving vignetting or soft blurs on the printed photographs.
With my digital camera, it's become habit for me to shoot the same picture 20 times in a row and then pick out the best one, deleting the other 19. I can see the Holga challenging me to slow down, evaluate my shot and be much more deliberate with my photography.
