Why did they do that?
It was in a part of town where most of the buildings are abandoned and falling apart. They're renovating and remodeling most of downtown, and apparently it didn't fit into what they envisioned. Nobody I know knew about it. If anyone had they would have stopped it. For years people have been fighting over what to do with the King Edward Hotel. I'm just happy they aren't going to tear it down.

I know these won't be to everyone's taste but I really like them:
Both taken on a cheap plastic chinese Holga camera with a polaroid back using 80 series black and white pack film. No pp done apart from cloning out some scanner dust.
I have been trying more and more to capture light in my photos, or to use it as an integral part of my compositions. With these photos I actually had this effect in mind when I was setting them up. I'm glad they turned out like this.
With the polaroid back on the Holga the viewfinder is obscured, so it's very much a case of positioning the camera and hoping for the best. I still put it up to my eye though - I suppose I've conditioned my brain to envisage what it would look like from that angle. It seems to work anyway. I should add, you have little control of settings on a Holga. My version has been modded to allow for two apertures, but they are very much hit and miss. Shutter is either fixed to one speed (I have no idea what that speed is) or bulb. Focusing is your basic head and shoulders, two people, a group of people, or mountains. So in practice you kind of just have to guess that the conditions are right for the speed of film you have in and that the camera is the right distance away.
So yeah.

I think the Holga shutter speed is 1/100th sec.
I've been shooting on cheapo retro cameras recently. Interestingly the cheapest of the lot, the Yashica J Star range finder is giving the best results. Even better than the Zeiss Icarex IMO. Much of it is all about personal taste than technical correctness.
