I wanted to share this with you since a while: people on twitter that do photography with toy cameras.

Drop me a line if you are missing on the list.

If you haven't seen enough yet, here is another one from Venice Beach:

Old Dodge

I can't help it, I have a thing for old American cars. Not that I'm a car guy - not at all actually. It's more that they look nothing but cinematic to me. That's simply because I know them from cool movies only. When I once talked to friend who grew up in the US, he told me how such cars are reminding him of days when he was too young to drive, and his parents had to bring him to places on Saturday evenings. This is probably associated with a bit of embarrassment in front of the girls you are trying to impress. In my case that would be a Mercedes 190, a Ford Escord, or a Renault 9. Would I photograph those? I don't think so.

Making Music


A Venice Beach portrait.

I got lots of good Holga shots back from the store, basically one roll of black and white, and one roll of color film. This is one is the first color picture. There are also more Lensbaby results on my hard disk from last Sunday. I'm not sure what it is, the imperfect optics of these toys that make photographing so easy going, or simply the fun of using something new..I might keep posting daily now for a while.
