I shot this portrait using a Holga … sort of. It would be more accurate to say I used a Holga lens mounted on a Canon EOS-1D X. I bought the lens a long time ago, but have only played around with it a few times. On my day off, I finally unboxed some new lighting equipment and decided to try to make a Holga portrait (a Holgrait?) of my girlfriend using an AlienBee B800 flash and 47″ octabox. It was tough seeing Babs because the modeling light was burned out so I ended up with this outtake that ended up being one of those happy accidents.

Chicago
I spent a couple of days last week with my girlfriend in Chicago on a much-needed vacation. I’ve been to Chicago a few times mostly on business so it was nice to go just purely for fun. We visited the Lincoln Park Zoo, Shedd Aquarium, Navy Pier and Second City: all places I’ve never been in Chicago. It was a nice way to unwind from a very stressful month of work in June and find some visual inspiration along with way.
