Sand for Sandy, NJ - Holga 135

Free sandbags the day before Sandy hurricane made landfall in NJ. City of Jersey City was offering free sand and free bags. I had the chance to registered this "unique" moment with my Holga 135. I used superimposing techniques to give a more surrealistic feeling to some of the photos. Holga 135 is considered a toy camera, I love the effect that it naturally gives the photos, making pictures look a bit vintage with faded colors.
