Testing out a new format, and new media is always a challenge. It takes time and patience. While visiting my bank, I decided to ask the friendly neighborhood Hot Dog Stand salesman to pose for a picture. I explained that I was a professional, and told him this was for my personal collection. I have found that most people don't mind helping out as long as your honest with them and offer to give a print as well! Avo's print was a "one of a kind," that I left with him, it had a little better exposure.
We talked as I waited for the polaroids to develop. I learned that he's an artist, an oil painter, and he has been working at his current location for 4 years. I took a total of 4 pictures with my new Holga, the first one was without flash.. a big mistake since the sun was behind us. The next three I used my flash and they turned out ok, but with no viewfinder, no way to frame the picture with the flash on the camera, it's a challenge.

Hey Adam, Thanks, it's my first try at this crazy stuff. The problem is it is time consuming, but I'm going to try and keep up.
