Lomo LC-A 120 at Burning Man

I heard this camera had, in addition to square format, a wide lens and vignetting that was stylish, so I bought it, before Burning Man.  It’s also a super compact and lightweight way to shoot 120.   It’s really a sharper Holga, with 4 focus zones.   And stronger vignetting. I was pretty happy with the results.   …

The remaining shots can be found on my new WordPress blog. The air was very smoky the whole trip due to multiple forest fires…

9/52 Sao Miguel in Color

My hope is these images capture the beauty and solemnity of life on the Island of Sao Miguel.  Tourists are just scarce enough to cause people to peer out from the stoop to evaluate the newcomers.  This is a combination of different films.  Portra 160, Ektar 100 and Velvia 50 are shown.
