Class is over. Dang, those 4 weeks went by fast. But all worthwhile for I have a second love. Letterpress shouldn’t mind since Holga is more of a hobby than a way of life. Here are my favorites from the last assignments:

Eva taught me a lot. Where to get film developed the cheapest, always experiment, make sure you know if you’re on the Bulb or Normal setting, have fun, and reminded me of some basic photo knowledge. I am going to start carrying my holga around with me everywhere I go. I think I want to sell my CFN (the flash doesn’t even work) and get the basic N so I can attach my own, stronger, flash. Yeah, that’s what I’m going to do.

Before I said goodbye to Eva and reminded her that I would drive all the way to Heber to rack if she needed help, she told me her and her husband are taking Sycamore Street Press on the road for about a month and hitting up craft fairs along the west coast. One that struck me was, The Renegade Craft Fair. One of the biggest all hand made craft fairs that I know of  traveling from Brooklyn, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco about twice a year. They’re headquarters are in Chicago. I’m in awe. But I can’t just sit here and be in awe. In fact, I’m due for another vacation. And San Francisco ain’t that far.

I’m going. Obviously not as a vendor. But as a customer, spectator, and someone who has ambition to one day be apart of it as well.

It’s a plan Stan.
