Thank you for the link... much appreciated. I wasn't aware of this and I read the Times every day!? I've now subscribed to the RSS feed. 🙂

Ditto. Thank you for a very interesting link.

Interesting project, also interesting that he's got an assistant to load his 5 holgas!

Disappearing cultures and photography are a natural fit. Richard Harrington didi a similar exercise with the Innuit during the late 1940's and early 50's.

you're welcome

I, too, tape up my Holgas so I get what I want. The attributes of the lens are what I'm after and not light leaks.

Very nice pictures he has made. Although, I do not think that Holga necessarily requires a mention - its a fully manual camera like many others.

Why not? He's a guy that normally wouldn't do a project like this with this equipment (i.e. Holga)...

Also, how is the Holga fully manual?
