The grandparents wanted to take our children on a boat ride before the end of Summer. Last weekend we boarded the Gateway Clipper and enjoyed a two hour cruise up and down the Pittsburgh rivers. The ride was completely kid-centric and featured an ice cream social, magician, and dance music that I’ve never heard in my life. Needless to say, the kids loved it and so did the grown-ups.

On a family outing to Station Square, I was able to pick up a few nice image captures. Today’s photos are a few miscellaneous shots from the day we took the Gateway Clipper boat ride (which will be in the next few daily posts).

As Autumn quickly approaches, the local farmers’ market is winding down. The seasonal fruit and vegetables are marvelous and the characters are always unusual, as usual. Earlier in the summer, I visited the market with my Holga.

After three months of taking photographs exclusively with the Holga, I have decided to broaden the project definition and add other cameras into the creative equation. I will still retain some self-established guidelines and the project will be redefined as such: shoot with any camera that produces a square negative. With that said, I am pleased to announce the addition of Snappy into the creative line-up.
The Snappy plastic camera (a Diana clone) is a 120 roll film camera similar to the Holga. It features one shutter speed (probably 1/100 of a second) and three apertures (cloudy, semi-cloudy, and sunny). A bulb switch permits longer exposures. The lens barrel offers three focusing options: 4-6ft, 6-12ft, 12ft-infinity. The slim, light-weight, and very basic camera is fun to use. The camera produces 16 square negatives, measuring 40mm x 40mm, on a roll of film. The Diana camera is the mother of all toy cameras, literally. The plastic camera was produced in the 1960s and spawned many clones such as this Snappy.
