Holga Bliss
One the most challenging aspects of photography is constantly staying inspired by your craft. I think anyone creative will tell you that it's a landscape full of peaks and valleys. One of the greatest inspirations for me lately is watching a huge number of young european photographers embracing old film techniques and cameras as if to reject or even update modern digital trends. This work has been so inspiring to me that lately I've been shooting, dare I say the dirty word "film" with a Holga Camera. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm obsessed with creating photography that can't be replicated- thank you Jackson Pollock. This is easy with a Holga Camera and to me puts an exclamation point behind all editorial photography. I have to say thanks to my friends Steve Beaudet for loaning me his modified Holga and to Mel who tolerates me like an annoying paparazzi...

Where I get my happy thoughts...

2009 Creed
Saw this scenic world
Thought about you
Got a little concerned
Did you hear the bells of absolution
Did you own any atonement
Or did you just build a fire in a baptist rage
Please give if you can
If not for me
For the jubilee fund
Trust in me to distribute the karma coin
You have in the past
While you are waiting over there
Try not to rub out
All the enjoyment
Of that flower and all it's simplicity
That pesky round of kindness
Seems to stalk me like a lost drive by
But I've seen you drink doubt like it's happy hour
Did you notice I wasn't there
Not anymore - I'm making dinner
And wondering if you will join us
I don't even remember the name of that town
Nor do I care
I'm hoping you know what day it is
And Curious
Why aren't you here
And better yet can you forgive me...
