Ladies and Gentleman of the internet,
I recently made the decision to sell my digital slr, buy some film, and go back to the basics of photography. Thinking that things couldn’t get any more basic than a Holga, a small plastic medium format film camera with one shutter speed, one aperture and no reliable way to determine if your subject is in focus – I grabbed mine off the shelf and set out to take some photos.
I walked through the Gowanus and Red Hook, my two favorite post-industrial neighborhoods, made my best guesses for focus and exposure, crossed my fingers and hoped there would be something on the roll worth developing. I’ll post the results over the next few days.
