Description

<EDIT> Re-upload with better tones (for online), less intrusive watermark.. Still a holga shot ;)

Fourth in the bob dylan series, and the only one on film, and with a toy camera at that..

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row


1965 - Bob Dylan

I love seeing an image like this and instantly recognising it as film, and the sort of look I associate with, well camera's like Holga's. (and other camera's people have bought on ebay for 10 or 20 pounds/dollars) It's not just the 'look' of this image though, the car streaks, and the composition all add to a unique 'feeling' or atmosphere. It's a unique way of looking, almost like an experience for those that want to indulge themselves in it. I'm tempted to go and see the other 4 now, I don't know what to expect.

If I could have been a little more concise, and critical with my thoughts I would have left a formal crit, but you've got 5 theoretical stars from me!
