Wedding Napkin Sayings

first time Holga?

here are the first published photos of those made with the '

Holga 120N: they are all made with film B / W Ilford Delta400 expired, found on Ebay, and then scanned with an Epson V500 + VueScan.
(I'm a morning to figure out what were the settings for me more effective to scan those negatives ... I finally found my configuration starting this thread

Analogue Photography group on Flickr to Italy and then customizing a bit 'and creating files. DNG with Lightroom to export. All this may change in the near future anyway ...) before everything is coming off a fairly heterogeneous set of three pictures (a fotohaiku
):


I Dreamt of Duchamp and I h in a meadow blue Our Little
whilst bodies twisted in carousel swerves

the world and then oh the world to fall down

 evoke Duchamp as the tutelary deity of the first Holgafoto public seems least apt ... this big book is a retrospective on the production of Duchamp on one side and the other a collection of ephemerides. the blade you see is the famous readymade 
 
 which he called "in anticipation of a broken arm (
 in advance of a broken arm 
), and this seems very fitting. 
 
 second picture is the carousel in the Piazza della Repubblica in Florence. I had tentatively called "carousel", and this made me  in mente un verso di  
 Hullo Angel 
  di Death In June, che fa: 
  
  
  
 Well, Hullo Angel 
 A Gift and a Smile 
 Well, Hullo Angel 
 As We walk a Crooked mile 
  
 And a Twisted Man 

Leans on twisted sticks
With children's laughter Hanging from swings
Well, Hullo Angel
And the skipping rope turns
Whilst little bodies twist
In carousel swerves Well, Hullo Angel
It's the End of The World
Well, Hullo Angel
At the End of your Tether Well, Hullo Angel
Time for Sleep
Well, Hullo Angel
Time for Prayers

That which is Falling

 Should also be Pushed <="6.0"){
 That Which Is Crawling 
 Should Also Be Crushed! 
 

this also seemed very fitting. the last picture is a broken mirror, saw the same day in an installation in the courtyard of Palazzo Strozzi, by Yves Netzhammer called Inventories of abstraction, in the courtyard of Strozzina , you can see the Palace in broken pieces. the title is basically the version of the Anglophone Girogirotondo. and yes, this then just wore to the end ...

all I get back, because, to honor the most surreal and dreamlike quality of the images that come out of a Holga, there's just nothing better than a fotohaiku that begins by evoking the Dadaism as a herald of the Anti-art and ends with none other than the end of the world. in the middle and it took us a nice song. mission accomplished!

and then two other, unrelated to one another

double voyage

zeitmaschine




the first train is a double exposure. The idea was to make a halo to Silvia, but then, thanks to 'useful
Holga viewfinder dear, I managed to hit only the glasses, the effect is not that bad.
'double journey', however it is what is in space, the train, that what in his mind, which accompanies the first.

look out the window, the scenery flow like frames, you can not fix that here the pause button does not exist, and while one thought follows another, we build castles in the air moving over the hills on the horizon, snake biting its tail, and you get lost inside and out.

the last picture is a "time machine", because it seems a picture of the '70s, and not something contemporary.

and this is also very Holga.
