I've seen a couple of '8x10 view camera contact print on platinum palladium or AZO only photographers' dabbling in the use of the holga camera. The funny thing, at least to me, is they aren't printing with an enlarger. They are scanning the negatives and one is printing "giclees" which we all know are inkjet prints, and the other is scanning the negatives, making a digital negative with an inkjet printer from the scan and then making a platinum palladium print! And what's even better, these guys kind of put that contact printing purist thing out there to charge more for prints and to get above the fray of the commoners who don't contact print. They would never say this or admit to it, but it's implied in their information. And now these two photogs are using scanners and inkjet printers. Hey, I'm all for changing things up and experimenting. Hmmm, maybe their jumping on some kind of holga cult bandwagon. I'm not showing a link to them because I think their holga pictures are run of the mill.
