Holga is “more human than divine.” I think that is perfect. I loved all the images, amazing church and you’re right the mid century modern architecture is amazing.
:-). Thanks thanks. Nice to hear. I've been several times in your neck of the woods, and, for example, Palm Springs is a heaven for mid-century modern architecture lover :-)
Great photos! Great architecture! In your Protestant culture, it remains pure, in line with the architect's intention. In Catholic culture, as in Poland, the pure idea of an architect is often filled with decorations, pictures and other details, which changes its character. Happy Easter!
I like the Holga outside and the SW inside. Imagine an SW Holga... oh, yes, massive distortion and vignetting. I'm going to stop imagining that. (Lovely video, as always, ta.)
Very nice episode Ari, enjoyed it a lot, and good pictures! Bdw, you can't get too poetic when it comes to the photography of 'things'. I learned to love concrete buildings from the moment I once visited a huge water tower in Axel - The Netherlands. The tower has a skeleton made of concrete. In every concrete connection I saw the craftsmanship of the formwork maker. It was defenitely a carefully constructed formwork, nailed plank to plank, leaving no gap in between. I saw the craftsman's eye in every cormer I looked, while knots in formwood stamped themselves to eternity in the cold concrete. This same concrete came alive and told me its story. Yes, life is more beautifull holding a camera.
Excellent video. Great photographs, from cameras that each have their own story to tell. I really liked your description of the holiday and it’s meaning. I have to confess that as a Christian I always struggle around this time of year. After all, the name Easter is derived from the pagan goddess named Eostre and that’s of course where the crazy connection of bunnies and eggs comes from. I was very confused as a child. I wondered what bunnies and eggs had to do with the crucified Savior. At 70 years old, I still am a bit bewildered. I’d love to see the resurrection of our Lord separated from pagan-inspired Easter egg hunts and more connected to Passover, but I don’t think that will ever happen. Thank you for sharing your project. I always enjoy your videos and hope you gain the wider audience that your videos deserve.
Thank you thank you. I have the same challenge with Christmas. Santa Claus etc. But hey, something I heard yesterday that I found insightful. Christmas is the negative that God used to print Easter! God bless you, my friend!
Without failing, your videos bring me that very required touch of poetry through image, music and subtle humor. Happy Easter to you and your loved ones.
I must admit, the cameras lying right by the edge of the table while you were gesturing at the beginning of the video, made me a bit nervous (lol). Great video as usual!
Lovely architecture from the 60s! Loved the inside shots. Beautiful how the holga brings us down to earth, a fun one to carry and shoot with. Is it the glass or the plastic lens? Looking forward to more videos sir!
Beautiful architecture. I enjoyed the Holga images the most. They evoked more feeling and mood than the perfectly clinical images from the other cameras. Which film did you use in the Holga and did you use the Bulb exposure with the indoor shots?
Thanks. I used HP5+ with Holga. No, I didn't use Bulb. Outside "sunny", inside "cloud". But I developed in stand development (on hour in 1:100 Rodinal) , and that easily covers +/- 3 stops, even more.
Probably a Dutchman who is trying to be funny after a few drinks. He might be one of the protestants, who are always blasphemous. In the Netherlands it is always a problem shooting with Hasselblads. You have to justify. Mr. Wiseguy HOLGA tells you Hasselblad is no good because of the 12 exp. per roll, the heavy weight, the price, the lack of f/1,2 lenses. The fact you also need a Durst enlarger plus Rodagons or Componons. After 80 year war there came freedom of relegion in the Netherlands. After the mid Sixties everybody traded his Praktika and converted to the holy Nippon Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha; better known as Nikon. Today I still am an orthodox rollfilm and sheetfilm worshipper.
Hi Ari I've got to be truthful and say that I adored the Holgas honesty. I suppose higher contrast is my favourite thing. Anyway since your motion 35mm project super8 has started to fascinate me again, what really floats my boat (scuse the pun) is the leicina special super8 camera. Woof woof! These jewel like mechanisms rock my world. Anyway God bless and happy Easter

god is good and so are your photos!!! your works make me want to live in this beautiful world god has given us!
Very happy to hear! Thanks!!

Thanks, thanks! We also have Orthodox churches, and they go to another extreme.
Wonderful images, beautiful music, perfect on this Easter morning! First time viewer, new subscriber. Blessings!
Thank you, thanks! Have a wonderful Easter!

SW Holga -- that's a glorious thought!

Thanks, thanks. Concrete is, indeed beautiful. It is honest, functional.
All great images but that third Holga shot inside the Church is fantastic.
:-) Thanks. The unpredictability of a Holga is pretty cool.
Great project, and great to mix the different cameras!
Thanks thanks :-)
Amazing Grace....amazing pictures !
Thank you, thank you!

Great photos, great music too!
Thank you, thank you!!
Another great post, Ari! Many thanks!
Thanks thanks!!!
Darned Holga has soul.....
It does!!
Great video. entertaining and inspiring! Thanks! :)
Thanks for watching :-)
Love the music in your videos. It's relaxing every time and I appreciate it.
Thanks, thanks :-) Low key.
Good work. Good project.
Thanks, thanks!! :-)
Another great video!
Thanks thanks :-)
Happy Easter, Ari!
Thanks thanks. You too!
Without failing, your videos bring me that very required touch of poetry through image, music and subtle humor. Happy Easter to you and your loved ones.
Thank you. Appreciated. And happy Easter to you, too!
Your photos are lovely, but I still can't embrace the 60s architecture!!!
:-). Thanks. Yeah, they are mostly eyesores, but who knows if we learn to accept them eventually...
A really fine building! And I know my churches! Also read that the organ is from a Finnish organ builder: Kangasalan urkutehdas. 41 stops. Thanks!
It is an awesome church. And those organs, too. Aged really nicely!
All three cameras have given you some lovely images I think 😀 .
Thanks. Appreciated :-)
Another great videos. Thank you for giving light on this Holy days. Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to you!!!
I must admit, the cameras lying right by the edge of the table while you were gesturing at the beginning of the video, made me a bit nervous (lol). Great video as usual!
Thank you!! This is very concretely me living on the edge.
Lovely architecture from the 60s! Loved the inside shots. Beautiful how the holga brings us down to earth, a fun one to carry and shoot with. Is it the glass or the plastic lens? Looking forward to more videos sir!
Thanks thanks!! Mine is a plastic one.

Nice images. If you had to use only one camera to picture this church, would it be the SWC ?
Thanks. I think in case yes. It would have been my SWC.
"And God said 'let there be Holgas.' And there were Holgas. And God saw they were good." Great project!
That’s an amazing Genesis interpretation!

Interesting categorization of Holga: and it's "sinful" nature is in plastic material : - )
Ha! Holga is beyond categorization :-)
@@ShootOnFilm "Not divine" :)
God created light and the light was good (only because he used a Minolta spot meter) lol
He did? I always thought he used the zone system!!
