This year they've changed things up a bit, narrowing down the contest to only one category, one entry per person. This worries me a bit... I hope that scaling back this year's 9th annual Holga contest doesn't mean we won't see a 10th next year. When I went to drop off my entry today, though, I noticed a massive display of various toy cameras (dianas, lomo, fuji, holgas... some with flashes, some with Polaroid backs) so I'm hoping their passion for film at the store will continue to fuel this fun contest.
So the category this year is "Portrait" - not really my forte in the realm of shooting with my Holga, (most of my people-pictures are full length from a distance) but I did have this one shot I'm particularly fond of... wood carvings which were set on display on a banana leaf tree on the beach in Jamaica.
I matted my print on a basic black mat and dropped it off this afternoon. I have no idea what kind of competition I'm up against this year, but my fingers are crossed.

hmmm... maybe you could those hang faces all around house as part of your White Rabbit party??
why is wood carving so awesome
DD - :) I love wood carvings too... these faces were just amazing, but too big to bring home. We do have a palm tree that was carved specifically for us (including a drum at the base of the trees)
