i know exactly what a holga is and what lomo camera is. i just refuse to accept that vignetting, sharpness fall off, added saturation, lack of contrast, lens artifacts, uncontrolled flare etc etc = creativity or you suddleny become a better photographer when you use one. the argument that some people use of " it makes you take your time and think more about your images" is bullshit, just take your time and think more about your images with your 'normal' camera.
a holga placed in the hands of a monkey doesn't make a creative monkey.
