Images from Brett Beyer’s New Amsterdam project. Each image is shot in lower Manhattan with a Holga or a Zeiss Nettar camera, which are used specifically for their flaws, light leaks, and all-around non-digital awesomeness. Beyer overlaps the exposures within each camera by manually advancing the film. No Photoshop used here:
“These errors,” he says, “allow chance into the process and give me results I never would have intentionally gotten.”
I really need to get my hands on an Holga — you just can’t recreate something like this digitally. Anyone own one? Do you recommend? Feel free to share your images in the comments. More quotes and info at Wired.
