A Day in Skegness with the Holga

Since I started shooting with the Holga my photography has been liberated......plastic camera, no shutter speeds.....a sunny or shady setting....guess the focus..........I am getting wonderfully exposed negatives, they print well in the darkroom.....and all for £25....makes you think doesnt it.
Ditch that expensive, boring, same as everyone else has, digital camera and

Another Place

Antony Gormley's "Another Place" has fascinated me since my first visit 4 years ago.
The statues cover 2 miles of beach and the cast iron figures are cast from his own body - much like his famous "Angel of the North"
Thought they needed the Polaroid treatment

FPP UK 2012 - Photo Meet and Walk

I thought I would share some images from the Second Annual Film Photography Podcast UK Meet.

The hosts of the Film Photography Project http://www.filmphotography/ project.com

came over to the UK from Butler New Jersey and, along with about 40 other listeners from the UK, Spain, Belgium, Canada all converged at the Lomography East Store in Spitalfields.

We had such a great day, shooting film, comparing cameras, hanging out with like minded people.

Broughton Church

Julie and I went on the 2012 "Rogation Walk" between Wistow Church and Bury Church. We stopped on the way to pray and sing hymns to give thanks for the land and the harvest.
At Broughton Church, before the service I wandered around with my Olympus Trip and made some exposures.
Marjory plays the organ and she didnt seem to mind me taking photos of her hands.
Old photos on the wall in the bell tower caught my eye as light streamed in from a window...it fell on a wooden bench also.
Back in the darkroom and the images came to life.

Street Photography

I have gone back to using Ilford ID11 film developer at a dilution of 1+1 for the recommended time of 12-13 minutes. The negs are probably a bit on the dense side but print WONDERFULLY well. The scans come out great too.
I have been in London quite a bit recently and always make sure I have a camera with me. The Voigtlander Bessa R3a is a rangefinder camera ideally suited to street photography.
