Nice... I just shot some of these on HP5. I really like this octopus one. Did you just scan your negatives on a flatbed?

I've always wondered about so called "sprocket hole photography" -- I thought it just another cheesy low-tech effect. But here I see an application where it truly adds something to the overall presentation. The image alone would have worked, but the tight horizontal framing, enhanced by the sprocket holes, really give this a sense of scale -- a claustrophobic feeling, if you will. Really brings it to life. Nice job!

fabulous technique -
super subject, the horror of this amusement park is amazing - this is much more fun than being there.

How can you not smile when you look at this?! Great colors, and the slight tilt adds to it, I think. Makes it seem even more like an action shot.
