After uploading some software ‘analouge emulation’ images I thought we should get back to some actual real images (in the sense that the photo exists in tangible physical form,  either as a negative or print as compared with 0′s and 1′s of binary data storage) This particular image was captured in my brother’s study (he really does have some interesting books, objects and miscellaneous stuff). I had the Holga Pinhole Camera (with Polaroid back) on a tripod and triggered my hand held flash unit about a gazillion times (no science involved, I just kept triggering it until I thought I had ‘about enough light’ to make an image) This post is a test of the WordPress application for the android t-touch tablet I have been provided with (by Telstra) for the purpose of review. I’m running it through it’s paces and will have a full review (in video and written form) up sometime next week, for those curious.

There is a seaside camping/caravan spot we sometimes go to in a quiet spot called Walkerville on the coastline east of Melbourne. This van has been there for quite a while, but I can’t ever remember seeing anyone occupy it, although admittedly my holidays are usually not in the peak season due to my shift work. I feel there’s something about caravan parks out of season that seem quite serene and sometimes a bit mysterious…

This shot was taken with my newly acquired modified Holga (with waist level viewfinder, bulb modification and cable release) from Randy at Holgamods, expect a review in the ‘words’ part of this blog soon!

On a long road trip it is a good idea to have a break in the journey to stretch ones legs and in the case of children to have a play in a playground if you can find one. On a recent trip we found ourself in Sale and discovered such a spot that also had one of those old-fashioned playground round abouts which don’t seem to be around much anymore. We all had a ride on it, the kids especially loved it, and amazingly, no-one threw up (we were going round and round pretty fast!)

One slightly overcast, but quite lovely day a couple of years ago we went to Williamstown, a bayside suburb where my Mother grew up and where my Great Aunt, who is now 93 still lives. The children just love exploring rock pools so they were amply entertained (or rather entertained themselves on this occasion.

Originally posted in early February 2007, this is a strange double exposure taken on WTCD (World Toy Camera Day) 2005. I was wandering around town with a fellow toy camera aficionado, Mike (hi Mike!) It was my first WTCD. Can you also tell it was the first time I had used the Holga? Anyway, I sort of like the surreal result of the merging of a Goth couple who kindly posed for us and a protester in Melbourne’s CBD.
