I do like these images too. May be if I see a folder of 100+ Holga images, I may not like them as much, but a small taste once in a while - delicious :-) On Sat, Jul 7, 2012 at 5:46 AM, Ric Carter <ricc at embarqmail.com> wrote: > a pretty spot to work > > slept there July 4, 1973 > > likw the photos--they return memories > > ric > > > On Jul 6, 2012, at 10:13 PM, Aram Langhans wrote: > > > Courtesy of the Holga lens on the D7000. > > > > I have received a few comments on the Holga image of cactus flowers I > posted earlier, so thought I'd see if anyone thinks there are more to their > liking.
