. . . and an interview with Phil Bebbington
I just wanted to play and I had never shot medium format – what came after was the wonder of not being tied down by apertures and shutter speeds. Of course you still are as the Holga does have at least one shutter speed and aperture! But it is the freedom, using your time thinking about the shot as you have no control over the shutter and aperture.
Of course, there is a skill to using the Holga – it’s not quite as random as people think.

Thanks for posting this, Sheila. This is great, Phil. It’s good to see some of the old favourites here in the grouping, as well as ones I don’t think I’ve seen before. I too like those sunflowers!
