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…

Posted at 4:54 pm | Filed Under film, journal, lomo

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 […]

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 […]

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.
