    I like his shots. I like the "old polaroid" look (or holga, or quasi pinhole, or his term of "digital holgaroids").

    Some of the shots are okay and some really work for me. My favorites are the "apple shot with the tower", the "fire hydrant" shot, and second to the last "red wall" shot.

    Might be an idea for a dgrin challenge? mwink.gif

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    My silly 15 minute attempt to do something similar:

    Actually, mine has more of the look of "old film" or a sun faded print.

    and my curves made the blacks go funky.

    Here's the original taken at an airshow last week:

    Oh well, just playing. Or in other words, how to mess up a satisfactory print . . . .

    Not trying to hijack this thread - just having fun with this photographer's interesting ideas.

    He has some really nice stuff. Reminds me of Holga shots, and you have to know what you're doing to make 'em work. Here's hoping he joins us. Thanks for the link, lab.

    Very interesting. A co-worker who enjoys photography showed me a book all about this subject, holgas and toy cameras. I enjoy the minimalist approach and have a high regard for those who shoot this. Here's hoping he joins!
