Holga Redux

Well, that settles it, Holga will get much more use this summer. From a roll that sat in the 120S undeveloped till now.

West 25th St. Dance Club

Now closed. Many neighborhood complaints about late-night mayhem contributed to the shuttering about six years ago. The heavy bronze statues remained for a few more years and then were gone. One seems to have shown up in a councilman's back yard for a brief while, but the councilman denied it was one of these, and it disappeared shortly thereafter, according to reports in the Beige Lady. Given their size and weight, they wouldn't be the easiest thing to haul around. Where are they now?

United House of Prayer

For all people. Cedar Avenue, Cleveland. Holga, Tri-X.

Holga Survivors

Cancer Survivors' Plaza, University Circle, Cleveland. Some people don't like this bizarre installation. I'm not one of them.

Bill Blasko's Adopt-a-Building Program

Holga considers 5613 Euclid Avenue with her single-element 65mm plastic lens and characteristic concentric light and focus fall-off, with resultant vignetting. Like looking through a telescope into the past.

Holga My Love

She taught me everything I needed to know about photography, including how and when and why to break the rules.
