My first post!
« on: February 02, 2010, 10:36:21 PM »
Hey there everyone!  I've been shooting quite a bit of medium format lately, Hasselblad, Holga and Pinhole.  I went down to Santa Monica beach this past weekend and shot some Holga and pinhole shots and thought I would post a couple of my BW images here to share.  Glad to be a part of the group!  Any comments and questions are of course welcome.
-Brian

Thanks VIcky!  There is a Art installation/Tribute to fallen veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars on the beach right now.  It's very powerful to see when you are there.

I love those images from Santa Monica. The tones are gorgeous. Were you using a red filter on it?

Too bad you're too late for this year's Krappy Kamera show. You'll have to enter next year.

These are lovely, great sense of emotion in the double exposures.  Haunting, as some have already said. 
I'm new here too, it's a cool place, lots of excellent work on display here.  I hope you like it.
