Not a Toy

The photos I took on Labor Day weekend were not made with the little toy Holga camera. You can tell the difference. The images are sharper and cropped tighter. The Holga has a slightly wider lens, so there is more space around the subjects. It is something to think about. I like the Mamiya 6 that I used here, but its images have a different feel. Somehow, though, I still manage to get light streaks on the film.

Right after I took this photograph, I thought that I knew one of the girls. Somehow. It is driving me crazy now looking at the photo. Where did I know her from? An unsettling mystery.

  1. Looks like just a little lens flare at the top of the frame.

    I like what you're doing here.. and I'm not just saying that.. check out my toy camera beach shots. Kindred spirits?
