I received the toycamera.com calendar for xmas. One of my favorite sayings from it is: "Plastic lenses are the photographic equivalent to running with scissors."
To me photos made with a Holga camera are similar to exciting live rock and roll. There is always imperfection. You never know what's going to happen. Chances are taken. Things can go right up to the edge and sometimes over the edge. Something unexpected usually occurs. It's fun, exciting and beautiful. Feedback and blurriness are synonymous.

VocalEssence - Witness, A celebration of Gordon Parks. Gordon Parks was a great photo-journalist and renaissance man. This will be in St. Paul in Feb., it doesn't say how much it deals with his photography. There is multi-media though... Personally I'm not into the chorale thing so I'm not sure if I'll go.
