Industrial designers are crazy arse beings

I can say that lovingly and jokingly because my big brother, James, is a industrial designer. They come up with the craziest shit sometimes and their minds work in mysterious ways... that's why I wasn't surprised to read a industrial designer has come up with the concept for a digital Holga...

Its called the Holga D and a very detailed design development and study can be found here ( I highly recommend you take a look the renderings and technical drawings alone are worth checking out) Its a interesting read and a extremely well presented project... but is a digital camera designed to mimic the beauty of a real life Holga all for the sake of instant gratification really worth it? Isn't waiting to get your roll developed half of the fun? Food for thought people, comment below...

  1. i think it takes away that mystery of having a roll of film developed...
    dont get me wrong, digital cameras are great, but a digital representation of an analogue camera just wont do justice..
