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
