Looking at Paris through the lens of a Holga camera is thrilling in a different way. The city is captured in a slightly grittier light, not glamorized and charming but almost seedy. To me, these images feel as if they had documented a Paris from long ago, showing us the truth through muddle grain rather than the dream that keeps us coming back.

All images were shot with my Holga camera, a medium format plastic toy point-and-shoot camera, and Tri-x 400 film.
