Loaded some hi-test Kodak Ektar 100 in the Holga pinhole camera and took it for a spin.

I walked by here again this noon. I was taken aback by how large the cross is.

I don't have much critique to give, I just liked the photo very, very much. I'm not the person who is quick to say "I LOVE THIS PHOTO!", but to like it "very, very much" is sort of my equivalent (when I am trying to be more... formal).

Nothing is COMPLETELY original- and let's get real; it doesn't have to be.
I do love the fact that it is analog photography, cause let's face it; it does look better. And this specifically shows that you know how to handle it (and how to handle it GOOD). I am kind of curios to the dynamic range - everything has the correct exposure, even though it feels like the sky should be overexposed, or the ground underexposed. Mind you, I have a great respect and love for correct exposure. And that's the great thing with film, isn't it? Better dynamic range, and even if something is over- or underexposed, it can still look good.

So, I'm just gonna point something out that I, personally, think could have been improved upon, before I continue to express why I do LOVE this photo (totally blew my cover there, didn't I?).
The angle could've been lower, showing maybe a tombstone closer in the foreground, to improve the depth in the photo. That is all, and also completely unnecessary if you ask me.

Your vision is excellent; the photo itself speaks for that. And the impact it gave me was this sort of mysterious and longing - albeit comfortable - feeling. This is something that I get when I see an image that shows me a place and perspective where I'd like to be, right the moment I see it.

If you would like to send me this photo in full resolution, I would be most grateful. I'd really like to have a closer look - to really immerse myself.
What do you think?

This image so proves that it's nothing to do with the camera, but the photographer.
Beautiful image. Film handles that tonal depth really well. And distortion free-wide angle. Lovely one here
