Artist's Statement:

I was in a creative slump the summer of 2007 when a Holga camera came into my life. This fiercely addicting plastic machine, coupled with a pilgrimage to the Burning Man festival in August 2007 pulled me out of the depths of my creative depression, and I am forever grateful. I have several expensive cameras, yet I always find myself using my cheap, $25 plastic Holga that is decidedly low tech. Aperature choices are two: Sunny and less sunny and the shutter speed selection is a joke. I have spent the last two years abusing the camera. It rolled around on the floor of my car without a lens cap for one year. I took it to Burning Man and shot in the biggest dust storm I have ever encountered. The only reason the back of the camera is still on is because of duct tape. This tempermental camera has a mind of its own. The Holga is a lot like me: moody and unpredictable.
