I hope you’re not tiring of my Denver trip pictures… If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I took a trip to visit Mom in Arkansas, and she and I drove to Denver to visit Aunt Patty. I spent most of Holga Week 2021 in the Mile High, then had a layover in Topeka, …

Ben P. Ward – ‘I Dream of Dust’
I Dream of Dust is Ben P. Ward‘s exploration of the prairie half of Colorado, that bit of country that most people forget about when they consider the state. It’s not all mountains, as anyone who’s ever driven from, say, Eureka Springs, AR to Denver, as Mom and I did recently, and after growing tired …
John Whitmore – ‘Choosing & Losing’ #03 “Sunny Nunny”
I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of John Whitmore’s passing late last month. His DarkShed project, zine series, and printing were inspiring, and the film community has lost a champion. “Sunny Nunny” is Issue #03 of his Choosing & Losing series.

Many months ago, Mr. Holga reminded me of Holga Week over on Instagram, I think.* Almost immediately, I determined to waste use the 5-pack of Fuji’s discontinued and now wildly expensive Pro400H that spent the past 5 years chilling in the fridge on a shoot-out between the Holga 120N, with it’s 645 mask, and the …

Bret Curry – ‘A Ghost Story: Photographs’
A Ghost Story: Photographs is a collection of Bret Curry‘s photographs, made on the set of A24 Films’ A Ghost Story (2017), written and directed by David Lowery and starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara.

Holga Week: 135BC, error-ridden edition
Holga Week 2021 (October 1-7) found me in Denver and Topeka, first to visit an aunt, and then as a sort of layover for Mom and me in the long drive from Denver to Eureka Springs, AR. (Note: if you’re in Dallas and want to go to Denver, Eureka Springs is not on the way.) …
