Reviews
It's very rare that I pre-order anything. I mean it's rare that I know about something in advance in general, but normally I'm just like, meh, I'll get it when I get it. Not in this instance.I've been a Michael Kenna fan forever. His surreal images are timeless. They're inspiring. They're haunting. And they're not easily duplicated. His work is very easily identifiable and I absolutely love it.Similarly, I absolutely adore the Holga and the weird, jacked-up pictures that it produces. If you're here reading this, you very likely know what I referring to, and if not, a quick google search will do the job.Since Michael typically shoots with a Hasselblad, I was elated to find out that he was creating a book done with a Holga. That's like finding out Scarlett Johansson also makes homemade ice cream and blows kisses into each tub she sells. Yes please.In typically Michael Kenna style, all B+W images, all still haunting, all still incredible. Production value is very high and if you're a Kenna or a Holga fan, you should purchase this book and place it somewhere you can reference often. Thank you for such a piece of inspirational work.
