Wired.com Photo Contest: Show Us Your Holga

Yes, it’s been ages and I really have no excuse other than laziness. (Plus, given the stats on this site it’s not like I’ve kept anyone waiting or anything.)

I’m a huge fan of Wired magazine, so I was particularly pleased to see the above photography contest, which I ran across by chance. What initially brought me to Wired was this series of photos by Taryn Simon, “Photographer Captures America’s Best-Kept Secrets”.  Enjoy and let me know what you think.
