Two images—one from this past October, the other from last week. Both captured on a #Holga: one with Lomo Turquoise, the other with Harman Azure. A quiet comparison—it’s harder than you’d think to tell them apart.

I'm thinking of biting the bullet and getting a digital camera for 'everyday carry'. Should I:
A) Get a Fujifilm x100'whatever'
B) Get a different one (suggestions welcome)
C) Buy film

Old Swedes Church (c. 1760), Upper Merion 2026

B+J Grover 8x10, Wollaston 125 1.6 lens, Adox Lupex paper negative (rated at iso .02).

The goal with this lens isn’t to make perfect images, so I guess this is a success. 🥶

Black and white extremely soft image of an old church. Setup shot of the camera.

The start to the year has been so busy there's not been time to really get out into my landscape (50 days of rain didn't help either).

My Valleys work is as much autobiographical as it is about people and place; about my love for exploration and the places I find in the Valleys
