The Holga is so weird, and I love testing it's limits...

I received a bunch of film back today, which is always exciting!

Here are a few from a family shoot I did with the wonderful Waddell Family.

The scans of Fredo Viola came in today, so I thought I would share the final product with you guys.

Here's a glimpse at a contact sheet I just got back from my shoot with Fredo Viola.

Fredo doesn't really like being in front of a camera (which I totally respect), so we just ending up talking for a few hours, and I took 4 frames of Holga during that time.

I think these shots are very honest representations of his personality: reserved, contemplative, and, above all, very joyful. This seemingly small shoot really taught me a lot about the importance of not forcing something to happen, and really just being aware and letting things be. If I had tried to take more than these few pictures, the atmosphere would have been uncomfortable, dishonest, and the friendship we developed would have been tainted.

After I took these, I handed the camera to Fredo, and he ran off the rest of the roll while we walked around the city (which by the way Fredo, your shots came out great!).

Thanks Fredo, and I look forward to hanging out again in the future.

I'll post the final prints when they come.

P.S. Sorry, but the scanner I used to scan the contact sheet was pretty dusty....

Alex is a guy who's been staying in our house for the last couple weeks...I mean, why not.
