Finally bought a cheap-o Holga toy camera ($29) and shot my first three rolls (Fujicolor Pro 400H, 120 film). And what photographic voyage of mine would be complete without a shot of Irises? So, here 'tis! This was also my first voyage into medium-format photography. I think I'm hooked already. The Holga is so crappy and clunky — such a refreshing change from by digital Nikon! And of course, there's something about film, something very, very special. (I had to say "special." Long story.)*I was disturbed to learn, while researching Iris varieties for a friend, that 'Eleanor Roosevelt' may actually be 'Mallory Kay.' It's not a huge deal, since I originally picked this iris by sight (not by name), but San Souci Iris Nursery told me they are 'Eleanor,' and I have referred to them as such for about eight years. You know what? I'm gonna keep on!
