The HOLGA 120N Camera

In this day and age of $3000+ digital cameras and mind blowing 12,800 ISO I’ve decided to take a look back at film. A project that I’ve recently revisited involves a cheap and well known film camera, but not just any camera. This camera is less than $30, about 99% plastic, comes with light leaks from factory, one shutter speed, and only two apertures (one of which doesn’t work). This is none other than the Holga 120N!


This is the second Holga I’ve owned. The one pictured here is my newest one. It’s been modified to accepts both 120 and 135 (35mm) film and has two apertures (f11 and f22). Another modification I’ve performed to this camera is a custom foam gasket which seals the camera back and prevents [most] light leaks.


These photos were taken on the Holga using Kodak Ektar 100 film. These images haven’t been modified or “tweaked” in any way; only developed and scanned.

Kala, Malayan Sun Bear

Yesterday, June 25, 2009, Kala, a Malayan Sun Bear at The Miami Metro Zoo underwent a root canal on her upper right canine tooth. Richard Souviron and Dr. Randy Groh of Dental Leaders in Coral Gables along with the Zoo’s Lead Veterinarian Dr. Christine Miller.
The procedure was successful and took only about forty-five minutes to complete. Kala was then taken back to her holding area (aka, Night house) where anesthetization was reversed.

Malayan Sun Bears are an endangered species found in small isolated forest areas of Thailand, Indochina, the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. They are the smallest of the world’s bears usually weighing between 100 and 200 pounds. They are expert tree climbers and are considered to be one of the most dangerous animals within their range in the wild. As omnivores, they feed on a variety of fruits and vegetation, insects, birds, and small mammals. Twenty-five Sun Bears have been born at Metrozoo since 1981 making it one of the most successful breeding programs in the country. Ron Magill
Kala shares her exhibit with “Liberty” a 23 year old male who was born at the San Diego Zoo. Kala was born at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle and arrived at Miami Metrozoo on loan in September of 1994. Ron Magill
