I can’t tell you how thrilled I was when Astor Morgan, curator of I Spy with my Plastic Eye, chose my Six Flags Diana image for the cover of the accompanying book.

I had another Holga image (shot with a Holgaroid camera and Polaroid film) in the show as well “No Photoshop Used on Image.”

I am honored to be once again in the Rayko Plastic Camera Show in San Francisco.  The opening is this evening and the show is open through April 30.

My image “Mysterious Hollywood” was shot with a Holga with a Polaroid back and Polaroid 672 film.

It’s always fun when two dear friends are also in the show — Aline Smithson and Noelle Swan Gilbert.

Wish I could be there tonight.

I finally developed this roll of film that I shot last year at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs.

I shot this roll with my Holga camera and then cross-processed the film (used slide film and then processed it with C-41 chemicals).
