We love to capture photos of our pets, what pet owner doesn’t? So, when we got a chance to check out this fun “toy” camera called the Shironeko (white cat) from Four Corner Store, we couldn’t wait to give it a try!
The package that the Shironeko Holga camera comes in is adorable! It arrives inside a round tin with a photo of a cat face on it. Once you pop the top open, you then see the camera, which follows the cat theme with it’s fun wink and lens eye. I could not wait to get the batteries in and start taking photos.
Though it looks and acts like a toy, complete with lights and even cat sounds, it is also a Holga lens camera that can produce some interesting photos.Unlike a lot of Holga cameras, this camera takes 35mm film, making it easy to buy film for and get developed. I was really excited to try it out and see what kind of results I would get from this unique camera.
My favorite photo is of course, a photo of our dog. Baby was completely curious and very interested when she heard cat sounds coming from the camera! She couldn’t hold still much, she kept trying to lick the camera! This photo captures her wonder!
The Shironeko Holga can be found online at Four Corner Store (along with many other fun cameras). And, Four Corners also donates part of their revenue to their local animal shelters! You can read all about what they have been able to do on their blog, Four Corners Dark. They have been able to do some great things for the animals with the proceeds they donated!
