The Yorks Holgas

Wandering Holgas from a summer family get away to our favorite Maine spot – York Beach, Maine.  I spent many days of my youth in York and my family has a history going back over 70 years.  Seeing the images of Short Sands, with Fun O Rama and Bill and Bobs, brings back so many memories.

I played around with a couple of techniques here.  Some double exposures – I love the 33 Flowers and Double Bluffs images. Some extra exposures.  I love how the shadows play out on some of the shots up along Freeman Street – it was an extremely sunny day and I was really able to push the shadows in the lightboxing.

The wave shot – I sat on a ramp down to the beach for what must have been 30 minutes trying to capture a breaking wave.  Many shots between my digital and the Holga.  The woman sunbathing on the beach next to the ramp must have thought I was a lunatic.
