adventures in brooklyn

Ok ok, here are more of the Holga prints from my trip to Brooklyn over my birthday weekend. See my post below for my first and favorite shot on my new plastic-body, low-tech Holga 120 camera. I should really post a picture of the actual camera since it's so cool looking - the whole weekend people were asking why I was taking pictures with a G.I. Joe camera - HA! It was really strange and foreign to me to just forget about ISO settings, apertures and shutter settings and simply focus on framing. Framing a square format was a bit different, too. And of course, the biggie, not being able to see the image immediately after I shot it really brought me back to the good ol' darkroom 35mm days. As much as I love the convenience, cost and speed of digital I do miss the hours spent losing myself in the darkroom.



I love these scene. We found such good vintage nostalgia here and I'm not sure what it was doing there.



Here we are approaching DUMBO in Brooklyn.



Dani and Hilary walking down a perfectly graffitied street. I'm not one to support graffiti but it definitely has its place and can lend to a more interesting shot - photowise.






Hilary.



Channyn's double exposure. You can barely make out the faint exposure of her on the left.
