Holga Homes

holga-homes-6

Yesterday I finally got to see how my latest roll of film turned out and I am super happy! There are a couple less than awesome shots but most turned out much better than anticipated. Woo!

These shots are all homes from one suburb in Tasmania, Australia. Usually with my photos I play around with them in Gimp (basically a free Photoshop) but I couldn’t do that to film photos. They have more than enough character and vintage appeal as is.

When I saw this “perfect” white picket-fence I had to take a photo.. as I walked past afterwards I realised that on every single post of the fence someone has tagged it with graffiti. What a complete ars*hole! Beautifully done graffiti art, posted on the bare back walls of massive buildings in town is one thing, but tagging white picket-fences in suburban streets is another!

  4. Pretty little cottages. Funny how you can't photoshop film. Hey I don't know how to photoshop digital but I am going to get over to gimp and have a go.

  6. There aren't any places like this in Albuquerque. Well, maybe with the exception of a few run down picket fences in bad neighborhoods. Not quite the same.

    I feel so mean after reading your comment about my dress giveaway! Sadly, no, it's not open to Australia. To be fair, it seems like all these giveaways could offer the prize to everyone and just have a disclaimer that if you win but aren't in the US, you just have to pay the difference in shipping. How much can it cost to mail a flimsy dress, right? They could probably just stuff it into an envelope with a couple stamps :p

  11. How rude that poor picket fence is so lovely too. I agree graffiti on walls is great but not on a pretty fence

  20. These are such beautiful shots, and in truth, I did not even notice the graffiti until you mentioned it. And how small is this world truly, that as I was looking through the shots, not only did they remind me of my childhood, but for a moment I also imagined they were from a small town in South Africa.
