Holga vs. Punsch

I got hold of a Holga 120GCFN and used her at christmas party. Out of laziness, I loaded her with Kodak BW400CN roll film (C-41 process) and made some test photos. As expected, the camera turned out to be a piece of crap. :-)

Party on!

Just some snapshots. I did more partying than photographing there, so the gallery is just what remained of the day/night. A pity I didn´t make any photos of the girls we kidnapped with the rented tram.
