I presently have eight Holga cameras, six of which shot 120, one uses 35mm and one is digital. I really enjoy the aesthetic that you can get from Holga's and I love how they strip down all your decisions to the very basics and encourage your creativity, this is due to both the lack of …

Revolog Tesla 2 35mm film
This is the first and so far only roll of Revolog Tesla 2 film I have shot and I think I shot it on my Canon 3000V. During the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown in Dublin, May 2020, I snuck into town early one day, making sure that I was socially distanced, as I wanted to record …
