Light Fixture

Posted at 10:49 am | Filed Under art

I want to try an experiment where I only shoot landscape and don’t turn the camera to shoot portrait mode. Landscape fits the web so much better! Or, I could try my hand at square  medium format again and shoot with a Holga/Diana.

Another city shot taken with my Jazz 207 Jelly camera. It’s rapidly becoming my favorite toy camera. Again. And, my original Jazz post is now #3 on Google searches for “Jazz Jelly”!

Wheelbarrow

I liked the texture and the color on this wheelbarrow, discarded along a deserted street. Sometimes art isn’t where you’re looking for it.

Four Chairs

Posted at 8:01 am | Filed Under art, film

Penmax toy camera, generic 200 ISO film. The Penmax is rapidly becoming one of my favorite toy cameras; it’s very similar to the “TIME Magazine” 35mm cameras. Shutter speed is approximately 1/100th second, a 2-blade diaphragm adjusts to f/8, f/11 and f/16 – and makes truly weird bokeh.

Ciao, digital. Hello, unpredictable art.

Posted at 6:00 pm | Filed Under art, film

From SFGate.com comes this article about the 2010 International Juried Plastic Camera Show at Rayko Photo in Francisco. Plastic cameras are cheap, prone to light leaks and unpredictable. Which is why a lot of photographers are drawn to them in the digital age of pixel counts, precision focus and Photoshop. “You don’t know how the […]

Here’s a happy accident -� I loaded a roll of 36 exposure film. I then (a) thought I was done after exposure 24, and (b) opened the camera back while forgetting to rewind the film first, exposing the film.

Shoehorning a digicam into a Leica M

Posted at 6:30 pm | Filed Under art, digital

Leica has gone nouveau-retro with the digital Leica M series. Other companies, like Vivitar, have come out with digital cameras featuring current tech, but designs reminiscent of retro rangefinder cameras. This retro camera beats them all. The maker shoehorned a Sony DSC-WX1 digital camera into a Leica (or, more accurately, what appears to be a […]

Tableau

Posted at 6:00 pm | Filed Under art, film, lomo

This roll of film sat in my freezer for several years before being shot in my LOMO LC-A+ last year, then it sat in the bottom of my 6 Million Dollar bag for a few more months after that. As a result, I have NO CLUE as to where I shot this. Anyone recognize the […]

Signpost

Posted at 7:00 pm | Filed Under art, film

Recently, I’ve been shot most of my street candids portrait-style. I don’t know where this is coming from, maybe I should buy a square-frame medium format camera to cure myself of this? Or am I just looking for an excuse to buy a Holga, Diana or a Lubitel? Does anyone have a favorite, obscure medium […]
