Alistair Prentice uses his pinhole cameras and a beloved Holga to make portraits of interesting folks and buildings around the streets of Northern Ireland.

Mr Holga, John Farnan (mr Buzzy) and I come together to chat all things lensless and more. Shout outs to David Lingham (www.davidlingham.uk) and to Alistair Prentice whose recent posts caught our attention.

Something a little different from the normal podcast. I chat about the show and its hosts, future guests and a book review of “I am not this body” by Barbara Ess
