The LA collection was begun in September 2001, and the New York batch in March of 2002. <br /> <br /> These pictures were shot on medium-format, black-and-white negative stock with a battery of $17 Holga toy cameras. The Holga’s many laughable failures are well known and all-encompassing: focus, exposure and parallax are effectively un-controllable, and the plastic lens is always aberrant, cloudy and vignetted. The shutter bounces sometimes, causing partial double-exposures; light-leaks are inevitable but random.<br /> <br /> </font></sub></span></font> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div style="text-align: left;"><font size="4"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><sub><font size="3"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sunshine & Noir </span>made its debut in April 2006, in a solo show at Ben Breard’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Afterimage Gallery</span> in Dallas.
