I was browsing through my archives of old projects and saw that there’s quite a bit of stuff that hasn’t seen the light of the day and I thought that it might be nice to air them out a little bit. These are all old and most of them have been left rotting on my HD for a good reason. Often because I thought that they didn’t turn out that well or I never actually finished them but also because I simply haven’t bothered displaying some of these in the internet “publicly” before. Nevertheless, it’s refreshing to show some old and stupid stuff for a change.

I finally got a few rolls of Holga photos from the last few months developed and scanned. There were a few surprises along the way of course.

And since they reside in the same space as the film does, I got a few shots with large black cylindrical objects in the middle of them.
