There’s usually a saying in my family that follows an intense hunger-rumble in the belly: my tripas are eating my tripas. Add an “ese” to that for good measure and you’ve just disclosed to someone that you’re really hungry. Above, “TRIPA” near the 4th St. bridge in Los Angeles, CA.

I’m jealous of people who love nature because I don’t. I like it. I hardly seek mountains, hillsides, forests, parks, etc. for refuge or inspiration. The only exception is deserts. I love deserts because they’re detested to a certain degree. Yet, place me in the middle of a city with a multitude of graffiti-stained walls and I feel like Augustus at Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. But something occurred to me today: Is it passé to love a scene like above in a place like New York?

Look in the mirror here.

I’ve owned my Holga 120 S since 1999, but it took its first tour since 2004 this week throughout the streets of Mexico City. Three prints made it out alive, which leads me to believe I need a little more practice. The photo above illustrates my ineptness to confine light leaks. I also suck at loading this film! Either the black tape I embalmed the camera with came loose, or light leaks are simply unstoppable with this thing.

This leak looks more like a botched loading so give me some tips if you’ve got them. I actually welcome light leaks, but I didn’t much enjoy these.
