Litter

Trash can, Philadelphia.

Sand Dive

On the beach (in the beach?) at the Jersey shore.

Yosemite

After several months I finally got around to getting a new Holga (and a backup for when this one inevitably fails me). One of the first excursions I took with it was up to Yosemite, which, given its antiquity, lens itself nicely to the Holga's plastic lens.

As always, click on the image to enlarge.

Fishing

Off the pier at Pismo Beach.

Thokoza Protest 2

I know I bounce from region to region, theme to theme, but I was thinking recently about Joburg and thought I'd post some previously unseen ones from the trip there.

Unglued

The death of a beloved Holga is a hard thing. Shutters cease to snap close, electrician's tape can't reasonably hold backs on. In my case the styrofoam lining that cushioned the film roll up just disappeared. I have no idea where it went. When I popped the roll in it was there, when the roll came out it was gone. This happened twice - I replaced the foam with some from another deceased camera and it too came unglued and wandered off. The only evidence were the sticky marks left on the film and a very loose roll that allowed light to wash out the last few images.

Near the End

One of the last images from the old warhorse. The Holga's guts (such as they are) gave way and it had to be retired. Details and images from that last roll to come.
