"While serving in the Navy I purchased a camera in Hong Kong and started to take photography seriously. For the first several years my goal was to explore the possibilities of personal expression and I started showing my work in galleries. In 1984, shortly after receiving an artist's fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, I began shooting assignments for magazines." Robert Holmgren
This site is an outlet for my personal work, mostly abstract, pinhole, HDR and documentary photographs.
I mainly shoot in Black and White using both film and digital. I love they way you can make an image do whatever you want, with a good understanding of your medium. My favorite topics are old buildings and Volkswagen Beetles, both real and toy ones. My favorite equipment is my homemade large format (4×5 and 5×7) extreme wide-angle pinhole cameras. These cameras have the equivalent of a 30 to 40mm lens on a 4×5 camrea. I’ve always loved distortion. Chances are, I spent too much time looking at Bill Brandt and Andrà Kertsz distortion portfolio’s.

Why Polaroid? Well, it's the only sort of photography that gives you an instant, touchable, non-mental picture of a unique moment.
Light Leaks Magazine is all about low-fidelity photography. We cover the world of simple analogue film cameras. We feature photographers who use these cameras, and photos taken by them. Each issue has a call for submissions for our feature gallery—a guest gallery editor chooses the photos for publication. We also feature regular columns, interviews, news, and special features in every issue.

This is one of a couple places to go to learn about historical photo processes. I personally took a class with Tom Persinger and would highly recommend it to anyone. Every couple of years he offers a symposium ... if you see it offered, sign up for it. Don't wait. Just do it. http://www.f295.org/2011/
