Because I can’t say the Poor Man’s Holga – it’s a thirty buck camera :p

I’m having a monotone moment and taking it one step further, loving all things grainy, gritty and distorted. Until I get the time and energy to explore film a lot more, I’ll have to make do with digital manipulation using various filters and actions….

As much as I love the effect, I still think it’s cheating…real skill comes from spending the time BEFORE you press the shutter, not after you upload a file. There is so much to be said for those who limit their photo opportunity to 12 exposures…who see their image in totality before they even lift their camera.

I hope I never lose my passion for the craft that is film photography.
