I guess this mostly doesn't relate to Peter Peter Pumpkin-Eater. That is: Peter Burda.
The Holga is pretty wonderful as a tool because it allows the photographer to produce with his/her eye and not with the multitudes of tools and tricks of photography. It offers freedom, but it comes with the Holga Look that can't be avoided.
This is a great asset, a wonderful tool, but what must be avoided is the reliance on this Look. Just because the Holga looks cool doesn't mean everything shot with it will mean anything. One shouldn't let the Holga Look define the collection, the work.
Burda mostly doesn't, but he's towing the line.
