Don’t think, just shoot
Posted at 7:19 am | Filed Under art, film, journal
This LOMO mantra’s been getting easier for me – since I’ve been growing my hair longer and spring breezes are here, I’m having a hard time looking through the viewfinder without my hair getting in the way of the lens or the viewfinder! I shot a roll of some generic $.99 cent store ISO 200 […]

Always check your settings…

I’m a bargain shopper, and when I see film on sale or closeout (which is happening more and more these days) I stock up. I bought all of Walgreens’ Kodak HD400 film when they closed it out a couple of years ago, and it sat in my freezer ever since. I’ve had a fixation with […]

Plastic Camera Redux
Posted at 9:14 am | Filed Under art, film
I found a roll of old photos from my TIME Camera and tried cleaning up some of the spots and lines from processing in Photoshop.

My new plastic favorite, the Vivitar IC 100
Posted at 6:50 pm | Filed Under art, film
The Vivitar IC 100 is rapidly turning into one of my favorite toy cameras. I broke from my usual “100 speed film only rule” and shot this roll on Fuji Superia 400. With the fixed 1/85th second shutter and f/5.6 aperture, I can use all the light sensitivity I can get!

From my friend Splicer’s blog. I’m going to try to make the opening tonight, otherwise I’ll be there tomorrow. Splicer and I go way back. He’s someone who knew me first as “Poindexter”…

Refreshing
Posted at 10:00 pm | Filed Under art, film
This pic came off the first test roll from my Vivitar IC 100, a $1 plastic camera I picked up recently. It’s pretty standard looking. The insides could come from a LOMO Colorsplash or any number of unremarkable cameras. A simple lens, shutter speed and aperture fixed at 1/100th sec and f/5.6, and cheap enough […]

Old LOMO Wall, 2009
Posted at 11:50 am | Filed Under art, film, lomo
I started putting my LOMOs into a patchwork using double-sided tape on an old piece of foamcore tape a few years ago, and got to the point where I needed something a little more usable. After a while, the prints would fall down, overlapping prints meant tearing the print when I rearranged them, etc. I […]

Chopsticks @ 50mm, Oakland, CA
Posted at 10:45 am | Filed Under art, film
Old print, new scanner. This was taken in Oakland’s chinatown back in 2002 or so. I love the shallow depth of field you get with a slow film, an old mechanical SLR and a 50mm Prime lens.

Persnickety cameras…
Posted at 6:09 pm | Filed Under film, journal
My LOMO LC-A has had problems intermittently on the tail-end of the roll. It takes more and more effort to wind the film on, then at frame 18 or so the mechanism slips. It happened again so I shorted the roll and opened it up. It seems the take-up reel has cracked in a couple […]

My fascination with the Olympus XA 2

In order to understand my fascination with the LOMO LC-A, it helps to know about the camera that started me thinking differently about photography.
