With the short time I had between getting back from San Francisco and dinner with the family for Christmas Eve, I painted a new holga camera to give to my cousin Britnee. With the first stroke of purple paint, I immediately regretted this decision. Her boyfriend Mark had been secretly helping me decide which holga to get her. He said anything purple or pink. I could’ve made things easier on myself and just bought a purple or a pink one but I just couldn’t do it. I hate color and even though it wouldn’t be mine, I just couldn’t stand the thought of it. So I decided to just add some purple. With the black and silver, I felt like it was toned down enough to not look crazy. I didn’t put a finishing on it, didn’t really think about it and it’s already chipping. Maybe for her birthday I’ll repaint it. Maybe.

Sorry Britnee.
