Book Preview

Yep, my small but perfectly formed collection of Holga images has been collated in between softback covers and is now for sale on Blurb. Take a look at the preview. I have to admit they did a good job of the printing. It's a nice little keepsake.

Viva Las Holgas!

Got some scanned at last. Here's a small slideshow of the plastic fantastic in full effect. I love em. Just wish I had had more time to shoot this kind of material since the Holga is at its best in bright sunshine. I have made a square format book with these images and more called 'Viva las Holgas' and I can't wait to see it. I may sell some if it's up to scratch. Well Christmas is just around the corner afterall...

Vegas baby..

I must admit I'm pretty excited about jumping on the big red bus to Las Vegas. The last time I was there was 2003 when I took in the Interbike show and then drove onto Virgin,(little airline link there..) Utah to cover the Red Bull Rampage. Since there's been a bit of a film renaissance in the Waugh household, I took a detour to Calumet to pick up some 120 roll film, before visiting Rouleur magazine. I am in a quandry as to what to take to the city of sin. My heart says Holga, but I was very pleased with the results from the Bronica SQ (see Roadwrites piece below) and the pix I got from my Fuji 645 in Vegas last time were nice too. As you see, I bought 160VC, Portra 800 for dusk and night shots, some EPP - the best stock for cross processing- and a brick of Kodak BW400CN which will be nice for some desert high contrast stuff and is especially good through a Holga. So what to use? I may toss a coin. I may lose some coin. It is Vegas afterall.....
