This was taken with the holga but god knows where I took it. My son says it was on a drive from or to Minneapolis from or to Austin Texas. It was early and real foggy, very cool light--this one was taken as the fog was burning off. I've got some others I haven't printed yet, where the whole background looks like a bright light shining through etched glass or translucent plastic--or something like that.
This on the boardwalk at Coney Island in the morning. I really want to like this photo, but I don't know. I do really like the shore and water in the distance and the fact that there are nice bathhouses at the beach now.
This summer I will be in New York and San Diego. I'll be toting my Fuji and Holga with pockets full of film! Going to try some Ilford FP4 and a tripod?!?! with the Fuji for scenic photos to see if I can't get a bit more detail.
Here's an excellent article on editions by Brooks Jensen, the editor of Lenswork, What Size The Edition?. I have been doing editions of 50 prints in sizes 8x10 and larger. I think from now on with any new work I'll just number everything with no edition limit. This edition thing has troubled me in the past, but I just kind of went along so as to compete with others who sell editioned photographs.
