Hey Everyone,

Thanks!  :) I don't get on here as much as I should - I'll try and be a more frequent visitor!

Are you still in Ontario?
We're definitely growing an Ontarian contingent here!

Hi holgajen I did not realize you were a fellow Ontarian. Thanks for pointing that out  Francois tho I thought zapsnaps was from the UK. Others from Ontario are scapevision and hungrymike.

I will dust off my ignored holga - ignored not because I don't like the work that holga folks do but because I am lazy and get in ruts ;-)

I didn't realize either. Sadly London... I empathize for you.

Either you love london or you hate it. Next time you're in Toronto I'm always around for photo walks.

I've been toying with the idea of submitting to contact. I still have to get my head around paying to submit with a chance I'll be turned down.

Could very well be... I kinda tend to loose track of where everyone lives at some point  :-\

Hello!  I hear ya, I get in ruts too. So many cameras that I don't use enough. The Holga is always one of my trusted shooting companions though!  Where in Ontario are you?

Hahaha thanks for the empathy ;) I am originally from out west so I can't really say I love it here, but I'm surviving. Lol

I submitted to the Darkroom show at The 918 Bathurst Gallery (during contact) I was only in it for the showcase though as the actual exhibit was based on votes. Kind of a weird way to organize things, but it was an interesting exhibit for film based works. It was expensive though. ive done a few shows in London this year which was nice!

Hi
Zapsnaps here! Yes, I'm UK based (between Oxford & London), but travel a bit with the day job - sadly, never to Canada though.
