Cowboy wedding

Posted at 10:08 am | Filed Under lomo

I took this back in 2002? I gave the negatives to the mother of the groom and never got around to asking to borrow them back.  My mother had a 4×6 which scanned nicely. LOMO LC-A, Fuji 100 film.

I sense a pattern here…more doors, San Miguel De Allende

Posted at 5:55 pm | Filed Under film

A little blown out, but I like the effect. Canon FTb, 50/1.8 lens. Most likely shooting with Kodak UC 400 at midday, hence the blow out.

Woops!

Posted at 9:18 am | Filed Under film, journal

I’ve used York Photo for my mail order film processing for several years. They’re inexpensive ($2.20/roll, $1.50 shipping, and $1.00 scans), they turn rolls around in a week, and they partner with Snapfish for their online service. They offer perpetual hosting and have great deals on prints. I got my first rolls back from San […]

Another toy camera – Meikai EL

Posted at 8:12 am | Filed Under film

This is a Meikai EL, circa 1963. Bought on eBay, I was the only bidder! As toy cameras go, this one feels pretty solid. The body is metal and plastic and the leatherette makes it feel like a “real” camera. The film advance is smooth, and there’s an indicator to let you know when the […]

Left Lane

I’m still not sold on the Lensbaby – I like it, but I can get the same effect out of a Jazz Jelly camera or any other plastic camera. Or, I could shoot with a digital Stylecam Blink and not have to scan! I can shoot 10 megapixel raw images with my DSLR, though.

Posted at 7:34 pm | Filed Under digital, lomo

I received my Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim in the mail the same day I took my Lensbaby out for a spin at lunch. The irony of paying for a lens to put on a digital camera to mimic a $5 plastic film camera is not lost on me.

Blogs Kurt is reading

Posted at 2:22 pm | Filed Under blog

Nic Nichol’s blog: Four Corners Dark: Holga, Lomo, and low-fi photography. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think I’m reading my own mind. He’s loving the Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim camera (my own reviews forthcoming), ranting on the ranters who claim you can duplicate low-fi with photoshop, so why bother with plastic, and […]
