A little while back my long distance phootographer friend Wendi Riggens asked me if I would like to do a guest blog post about Holga photography, (Wood eye,Wood eye, Big ears! Sorry for the old joke reference) of course I said yes. It’s a big deal in blog world when you post on someone else’s blog. I appreciate the compliment that someone asking for my opinion really is.
She just published it! So cool! Thanks Wendi!
Here’s the link to my guest blog post about holga photography
A few weeks back, I went to a car show and did a pretty cool photo of a 57 Chevy in B&W using my Holga camera. I was loving the shapes I saw and thought it would be pretty cool. Fast forward a few weeks and I’m ready to shoot some of the shots I had been thinking about for a while and noticed that the back wasn’t properly attached on one side of the camera. I resealed it, advanced the film one shot that I knew the frame would be wrecked for and then hoped for the best. Well… here’s what I got when I developed the roll:
When I finished the developing and was hanging the film to dry I noticed a funky looking negative and wondered if it had been messed up by light leaks too. Nope. This was a double exposure! Apparently, when I was messing with the lightleak I wasn’t paying attention to advancing the film. In this case, it was a kick save and a beauty! A farm tractor photo under a photo of some farm land and a tree. Sweet!
I’ve been driving by these four locations for a while as I head from Dover to Washington, DC. Seems like it’s always a rush to get there and no time to stop, or it’s dark or, or, or.
This was a rough weekend for me in some respects. I took the chance to do some photo therapy to clear my head and went back to get these shots.
