The Back

You will start with your Holgaroid camera. This is a flash model, but in the end the flash will be useless so try to get a non-flash model.

Holgas take square photos. So, the opening for the Holgaroid is square, which results in cropped and off-center shots. To fix this the opening must first be made larger to accommodate the full frame.

You can see here on ground glass that the left side of the frame is blocked (which ends up being the right side of your image).

Resulting in black edged photos like this.

So obviously the first step is to remove the part of the adapter mask which is blocking the film.
