Holiday Cheer | Katya Rowny

The joy of brightening other lives becomes for us the magic of the holidays.” – W.C. Jones

Some of my fondest holiday memories are from my childhood and the traditions that my family would partake in. As I grew older and the traditions fell away, I found myself wanting to re-create those wonderful moments with my own family. I realized that the joy I felt as a kid was the togetherness of family and feeling like I belonged. So during this season of whimsical jubilation, my wish for you is that you are able to find your own pocket of holiday cheer in whatever form that takes. From all of us here at Film Shooters Collective, Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Ghosts | Kristin Randall

I’ve seen the ghost photoshoot trend for a while now and thought I’d jump on board with my kids. With Halloween coming up and myself being in somewhat of a creative funk, we figured, why not?

So I bought two brand new sheets, sharpied the eyes in for each of my kids, and this series was born!

It went from ghosts in the backyard as test shots to ghosts in the school hallway, ghosts in the food/cooler aisle at my job, and all manner of spooky fun was had. I don’t think we’re quite done with it either, as the kids and I keep coming up with all sorts of locations to snap photos of the ghosts in.

Every photo has been taken with a Polaroid SLR 680 on Polaroid 600 Film with the exception of the boat and the train tracks, those were taken with a Polaroid Go on expired Polaroid Go Film.

Holga | Katie Mollon

It has become tradition to curate a stream of all Holga images during the first week of October – or as it is more commonly known to film users – Holga Week.

I love the variety of images that were submitted. Some used the classic 6x6 frame; others overlapped frames or used 35mm to create a panoramic look. A few photographers took dreamy to a new level by utilizing the bulb exposure settings. And best of all, the tonalities range from classic black and white, to the trendy Lomochrome colors.

Thanks for sharing a few favorite Holga images with us. We can't wait to see what you photograph this week!
