Walkway is fantastic. And I wouldn't have been disappointed with any of these. You really are annoying.

Thanks Smally -- coming from you that's practically an endorsement! By the way, Holga's are practically disposable. . . hint.

I think that you did a fantastic job - do they have disposables that shoot BW or did you remove the color? The first one and the last one are my favorites.

Lidljo, they have disposables that shoot c-41 black and white. Kerry, I got to thinking about what you said: "Can't control shutter speed, can't control depth of field etc. . ." Well, these cameras have a wide depth of field because they have a small aperture, a fast shutter and fast film (mine had ISO 400). So I asked myself when I might use that set up and one answer is early evening for landscape shots. As far as ps, I adjusted the contrast and added a little color tone.

Looks like some thought and planning (and a really good photographer) can overcome the dreaded DC. I'm in awe of your abilities.

I think you hit it on the head by asking yourself what the camera would do best with. As everybody said... Walkway is the best of the lot.

Love all of these! Beautiful tones. They remind me of Sally Mann's landscape shots, they have a Southern feel to them. You did a fantastic job!

These are all great - Reflection reminds me of that Stieglitz print that sold not too long ago for a little over $2 million and set a record.

Fantastic work, I like how they seem harsh yet so sharp and well defined, again a touch of the old feel to photography!
