John and Andrew are joined on the show by Neal Dorman. Neal lives in Northern Ireland and has a background in press photography. Now his love of pinhole and Holga photography in and around his beautiful town and countryside continues to fuel his passion for the silver image.

We discuss what happens if and when our enthusiasm for photography wanes, visualisation (pre and post), the use of darkroom or light room to fully realise the vision, plug ins!, getting exposure right with super wide pinhole cameras and more......

John and Andrew team up with part time co-host Mr Holga to look back at Holga Week 2024.

We spend some time talking about Holgas and the different choices open to those new to this particular camera before launching into a review of the category winners and runners up.

A last minute change of plans as we had to reschedule the planned guest to next Month.

But, a good opportunity for a catch up with what we've been up to, looking ahead to travel plans and worrying about camera and film choice.

Travelling through airports - you know....

A brief look at some of the posts in the FB group that have caught our eye.

As we continue to put out a show each Month (mostly) we were pleased to kick off the new Month with Tanya Kreil.

Tanya lives in the deep countryside of Germany with "her husband, kids, a cigarette machine and a defibrillator" - and is surrounded by cows, just as well aas they are an on going obsession for pinhole and holga photography.

Nick Dvoracek, his Son Andy and Justin Quinnell join Andrew in the run up to Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day to remind us all why they love pinhole photography so much.

Author, teacher, darkroom printer and Holga super evangelist Michelle Bates chats to John and Andrew about the joy of using plastic cameras.

Yant joins us for a romp around his world of pinhole, LCA and half frame - who cares if they arent all strictly lo-fi.....but they could be right?

I first met Yant on a photowalk a coupleof years back and we regularly interact on the excellent Bluesky platform.  Although relatively new to the world ofpinhole and lo-fi photography this hasn’t stopped him from diving in with anexhibition of his pinhole work at the barbican Library and a zine to accompanyit.

We needed to record a second show to chatabout things we forgot to last time on show 8.

Holga lovers and Instagram users willlikely be familiar with the Daily Holga, each day Holga artist photographersare featured and the styling of the site and the presentation is eye catchingto say the least.

To say Alec is obsessed with Holgas is,probably putting it mildly……
