On a quiet spring afternoon in Hyde Park, I carried two cameras with me: a digital body and a simple plastic Holga. The Holga has long been loved for its unpredictability—soft focus, subtle vignetting, and a way of rendering scenes that feels closer to memory than documentation.
Beneath a cluster of early-season trees, a man lay stretched out on the grass while his dog stood nearby, calmly watching the world pass. The scene had a sense of stillness that felt almost suspended in time.
The image was made on black-and-white film and later scanned, producing delicate tonal shifts and a warm tint that echoed the softness of the light. The result is a photograph that feels less like a record of a place and more like a quiet impression of an afternoon in London.
