Hi Julian,

I enjoyed your Holga stuff very much ;)! Tells me how creative a toy 
camera with exceptional printing can make the difference. Reminds me 
of a distorted Kertesz or funky Atget.

Your resultant piezography is stunning. I have come to the conclusion 
that the method of printing is just as important if not more so than 
the equipment being used. Plus the Leica dopeheads (I use Leica but 
not buying into the god status people worship it at) talk too much 
about collecting and trading lenses. A sharp lens isn't worth it if 
the printing is lousy.

Plus I rather spend my money on a good Epson printer over a Noctilux 
anyday... :) Well by the way my Kodak DC3200 is becoming my digital 
Holga especially when shot at f3.4 in near darkness! :)
