Holga in Berlin - Brandenburg Gate | A Holga in Paris’s journey to I Witness





When Matt and I travel we come home with thousands of digital images and rolls of film that I’ve run though my Holga.  It’s really impossible to say: “this one is my favorite” when there are many that I connect with but there are those that are special to me. My Holga Brandenburg Gate is one of those photographs. When I look at this image I feel like I’m looking at a proud but wounded creature. Scared over time but still standing and its witnessing rebirth all around it.


I hope that people are enjoying the Holga shots and don’t mind more in the future because I’ve been having a blast digging through my archive, scanning old work and shoot new work.








Tutto Theatre Company is using one of the Holga shots that I shared with you in past, “A Holga in Paris” as artwork for the I Witness poster and handbill.

The original image was just straight B&W then I took it into this split tone place and the final poster was design by Matt Ervin (my loving other half) and all I can say is that I love this poster. Matty makes my work look good.


More to come soon!
