    Writing my bio ACK... need help

    I'm writing my bio for a show. In it, I'm trying to write about the Holga. But I'm not quite sure how!!! What I want to write is something like "Since discovering the [ ] Holga in 1998..."

    Now, I need to fill in those brackets. How would you describe the Holga? The "Cult of" Holga? The "infamous" Holga? The....

    WHAT IS THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR?!?!?



    Any input is appreciated!

    Creative? Artistic? Unique?

    Maybe you're looking for a phrase, and not a word. The uniquely astistic Holga?

    I'll keep brainstorming.....

    Freakin'? No, I don't think so

    Unique Vision? No, it's YOUR unique vision that comes from the camera - not the just the camera itself, plus it sounds way too cliche.

    Gotta think about this one...

    Quirky? Serendipital?

    Maybe you need to rethink the whole sentence/paragraph.

    While looking around a google search of "holga" I came across this site
    http://www.theverb.com/holga/mainfr.htm
    Are you aware of the use of 35mm film in the Holga? Seems that would simplify processing for a lot of folks but maybe complicate loading. Anyway I liked his work.

    Good words all!

    Anachronistic... hmmmm....
    Heh heh, I think "Freakin'" is my favorite so far.

    As for the 35 mm use in Holga, I've got one - I should use it more!

    Thanks peeps!

    Talk about, "Things that make you go HHHHMMM....."

    I am stumped too..

    There are some good suggestions, other than Seb's? ;)

    I am thinking, "The funnest camera ever made"
    There is of course, "The Plastic Fnatastic"

    I want to see your show!

    Good Luck! Please keep us updated!

    Bio?

    I really think your bio deserves at least 900 pages.
