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.[/ultimate_modal]
