First Frame
Posted at 11:07 am | Filed Under film
I used to be in the habit of shooting 3 frames into the palm of my hand when loading film. A while ago I started shooting as soon as the film was loaded to see what would turn out. This was one of those weird leader shots before the film took.

LC-A versus LC-A+
Posted at 9:15 pm | Filed Under blog
After shooting several rolls of film through my LOMO LC-A, I wanted to compare it to my trusty ’91 LOMO LC-A. Appearance? The two cameras are almost identical. The LC-A+ is missing the diaphragm setting, used to override the aperture and shutter settings for flash use. I don’t miss this much, as most of my […]

Any film that isn’t in their lab by noon that day will be returned undeveloped. If you’re in Europe, Kodak will accept prepaid Kodachrome film pouches until November 30th and forward […]

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”!

Four Five Two, Jazz Jelly 207
Posted at 6:05 pm | Filed Under film, journal
Shot with a Jazz Jelly 207, fairly high-tech as plastic cameras go. Integral lens cover, built-in flash, small enough to fit in your pocket. Classic plastic wide-angle lensed-goodness, fixed shutter speed. Shoot ISO 200 speed film outdoors. Flash is good for 10 feet if you’re lucky (and shooting ISO 400 speed film). This roll came […]

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 […]

Fire-Water (Happy Accident)
Posted at 6:39 pm | Filed Under art, film
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.

Thrift Store Finds
Posted at 9:51 pm | Filed Under film
I picked up an Olympus Mju (Stylus) today, for the unheard-of price of $3.99. Several years ago, most people needing a compact camera bought point-and-shoot cameras with long, soft, slow zoom lenses.

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 […]

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 […]
