Hey look, another shot from Hawaii. This is goat island, which is a little island offshore from Oahu.

The island can be reached by simply walking out to it, however that would not be a good idea because there are a lot of sea anemones out in the bay, additionally the island is a bird sanctuary; so I decided to keep my distance from it and just enjoy the view.

Shot with a Holga 135.

Shot this from on top of a mountain in Hawaii.

I have to admit, driving up the mountains there is one of the scariest things I have ever done. Narrow roads,  and switchbacks make it kind of an uncomfortable drive. But the view, it is spectacular.

My buddy Rob already posted about this, so now it is my turn.

Recently, I found on one of the various blogs I read a call for entries for a photo book using toy cameras. This photobook is a fundraiser for Toys for Tots, more specifically; Toys for Tots raising money for the children in Joplin.

I submitted a photo, because it was a cause i could believe in. Children deserve toys for Christmas. I submitted and got accepted into the book. It should be out soon I hope.

I shot this photo of these little guitars during fiesta back in April, and I think they sum up the theme for the book perfectly. As a little kid I used to play one of these guitars a write country and western songs. I would record them on an old cassette deck.

I am glad these recordings do not exist.

I am not sure when the book will come out, it is produced by Composing with images Press.

Currently they have raised $1200 for Toys for Tots, which is huge.

I am really pleased with this shot.

I grabbed it the other day in downtown San Antonio, this is the Aztec Theatre, one of the really old Theaters in San Antonio.

Shot on a Holga 120 with Kodak Portra 160.

This lovely shot of the Alamo came because of an accident. I forgot to put a mask in my camera. I have wanted to make custom masks out of cardboard, or cut a shape and put it on a mask, but i have never gotten around to it. This was a happy accident, and I can not be more thrilled with the resulting shot.

Normally, I shoot my Holgaroids without a mask, but I think I will shoot more regular Holga shots without the mask.

Everyone knows what the Alamo is, and what happened here 175 years ago, so I do not think I need to go into too much detail on that.

Shot with a Holga 120 CMY on Kodak film. I must remember to be better about remembering the types of film I shoot with.
