Names and faces to bikes

you don't even need to be a good photographer, just grab a disposable camera, and you'll find those photo have a little something that digital compact and the like lacked, like a bit of soul, especially when you're shooting mates and such.

actually the Holga would be the 'fixed gear' of photography, it have one shutter speed and aperture (one speed), a medium format camera (bigger than normal 35mm negative, thus 700cc wheels) but it gave each shot an unique soul, stand out from the norms (the fixie itself already do that standing out of the norms of racing and mountain bikes we see in the street everyday).

oh, and the Holga is only like, £20, cheap like a fixie.

True enough, but... developing! What a nightmare. I'd never be likely to do my own developing, which means learning on a 35mm slr (my dad has an old olympus - OM10/OM20 i think) becomes costly. I'm thinking £5 developing and a weeks wait for 20 wasted shots to see what I did right!
