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 […]

Gettin’ artsy with my LOMO in low light

Posted at 9:01 am | Filed Under art, film, lomo

I’m always amazed at the LOMO LC-A’s ability to capture vivid colors in low light. Every other camera I’ve tried has given me washed out colors when I extend the shutter speed out in low light. With my LOMO, I load up the slowest film I can find (Lucky 100 when I can find it, […]

Thefts at the Museum of Bad Art

Posted at 6:44 am | Filed Under journal

I’m not making this up: The loss of two MOBA works to theft has drawn media attention, and enhanced the museum’s stature. In 1996, the painting Eileen, by R. Angelo Le, vanished from MOBA. Eileen was acquired from the trash by Wilson, and features a rip in the canvas where someone slashed it with a […]

LOMO on the street

Posted at 11:45 pm | Filed Under film, lomo

Random LOMOs from my most recent roll of expired Lucky 100 film. Taken around South of Market, San Francisco. My 1991 LOMO is still going strong, after what I figure to be 100 rolls of film shot through it…

What to buy?

Posted at 12:48 pm | Filed Under film, lomo

The Lomographic Society made me their OSCM expert last week! I’ve got 35 piggy points to spend in the Lomographic Shop!  What should I do, buy some film or spend a little more and splurge on something bigger? I have a 1990 LOMO LC-A and a Colorsplash flash, and my $1 TIME camera beats a […]
