These are the original scans. The negatives have since been rescanned at a much higher resolution for the

The Holga’s puny flash doesn’t have much range, I’m very close to the stage and Mr. Molina in this set.
I’d have to be kneeling or sitting on the floor to be looking through the viewfinder in the single decent frame (above). It’s more likely that I just held the camera out at waist level and angled it up. I wouldn’t have been able to see the frame numbers on the back of the camera. I would need to mentally count the individual clicks of the winder-wheel and know approximately how many clicks each frame took up in order to find the next frame.
And those are some of the reasons this is not a popular concert photography camera. But sometimes you can fumble around and fuck up just enough for things to turn out beautiful.
