Artist Statement:
HOLGA STATEMENT
Photographer Jonathan Bailey
first introduced me to the
Holga Toy Camera in 1996.
The simplicity of the camera
captured my attention - a
plastic body, lens and
viewfinder and a spring-loaded
shutter right out of a
100-year-old Kodak Brownie Box
Camera...and a host of flaws!
It was the images which really
captured me. They held a
vintage appeal, a romantic
look of a photographic time
past.
Ten years later, Holga is the
only photography I do outside
my professional work (which is
now all digital). As the body
of work begins to grow, I am
thrilled to see that "the
Decisive Moment" - as put
forth by Henri Cartier-Bresson
- is still the most important
part of my images.
Recent accomplishments with my
Holga include:
- Two nominations in the
International Black & White
Spider Awards
- Acceptance in the DIA
Invitational, a juried
exhibition hosted by the
Center for Fine Art
Photography
My Holga images have also been
exhibited at
- the Working With Artists
Gallery
- the Colorado Photographic
Arts Center
- the Reed Gallery
- KRMA's WildWest Art Auction
- Arts Alive
