The Classic Essaouira Boat Shot by

I shot this lovely picture in Essaouira on the Moroccan coast with my rather tetchy Holga camera which uses 120mm film. Holgas are loved by photographers for the erratic results they produce and the interesting speckling which the plastic lens creates and random light leaks and vignetting….I know this doesn’t sound so great in this age of digital perfection, but it’s actually a very charming effect and Holga images are increasingly popular. So please note, that this is not a 100% ‘clean’ image and that’s all part of the charm!

    Cool Image!!
    The repetition of pattern is perfectly suited…
    …encased by the Holga’s intense vignetting

    This is dead cool. Those colours just shimmer. What a fantastic harbour.

    Did not see these boats when I was there last summer. Wish I did. Great shot! Love the Holga effect.
