About Subject background: Now for something completely different: HOLGATIME.

You may think: Okay, nice Holga subject, but nothing special for the US. But this is Italy, in the middle of nowhere! In fact, this is Nago, a rather busy city round Lago di Garde near Torbole. Lots of traffic jam, and a Tex Mex Machine.

PS concept: Holga, you know!

Italy? Looks like they took a slab out of the old Southwest and brought it over there. They like Western themes. For a while they even made Western movies called "Spaghetti Westerns." Nicely done, Thilo.

Hi Thilo,
I like the colours in this shot! But, one of the best things about it is the kind of semi-cartoon look that you can get with the Holga. It is very dream-like, especially when the subject has a lot of rounded features like those old gas pumps.

So Thilo,
We have something else in common. I can watch those old Sergio Leonne movies over and over again. The Good The Bad and the Ugly, Fist Full Of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More. Also, Once Upon A Time In America. All wonderful!

I just love everything about this one Thilo, the tilt, the colors, the lighting, it's great! It definitely has that unique look of the Holga,and it does seem odd to think of this scene in Italy, you must travel a lot! Well done my friend!

Hi Paul,

Hi Linda,

I try to travel as often as it's possible... Next year I hope to see some of the great European cities like Barcelona and Prague =)

Awesome holga shot! Superb softness versus sharpness.. and the slightly tilt adds so much! Fantastic!

Very funny story behind this! I like it with the holga, the square format makes it feel very unique.


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:176321} 12/11/2005
..so, so.. i know, is a magic atmosphere that holga-camera have created, is in my dreams, capturer the corner so nice and so "family mode"..
but those that is strange is that this place is in italy.. i'm so happy!
all my best..
