Jazz Jelly camera, revisited
Posted at 9:56 am | Filed Under film, journal
My fixation with LOMO LC-As and film photography began in 2000. About that time, I started collecting toy film cameras. I like the aesthetic, I like the disconnect from technical frippery that a plastic lensed, single aperture, single shutter speed gives. I like vignetting. I like chromatic aberration. I like soft focus. One of the […]

Toy camera effects with digital SLRs
Posted at 1:45 am | Filed Under digital, pencam
I love lo-fi photography. Shooting lo-fi removes any obsession with capturing the “perfect” image. With lo-fi photography, I focus more on composition, creativity and experimentation than when I shoot with a “real” camera. Vignetting, soft edge focus, light aberrations, limited exposure latitude, color casts, even light leaks – the imperfections add a level of personality […]

Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home
Posted at 5:56 pm | Filed Under uncategorized
I’ve never been a fan of camera bags that looked too much like a “CAMERA BAG!!!“. Much of my photography is done at dusk, early mornings, and urban street street photography in dodgy neighborhoods. I need to be able to pull my camera out, take a shot quickly and stuff it back quickly, all the […]

“American Photobooth”, a book review
Posted at 4:33 pm | Filed Under uncategorized
American Photobooth is a new illustrated history of photobooths, which first made their splash in the 1920s. Photographer Nakki Goranin became obsessed with the technology after creating a series of her own photobooth self-portraits now in the collection of the International Center for Photography in New York. She then spent nearly a decade tracing the […]

BBF, a TLR 35mm camera?
Posted at 6:32 pm | Filed Under lomo
(updated, more picture-y goodness at the bottom!) A little birdie told me about the BBF (Blackbird, Fly), a camera that the LOMO Society was planning to sell. I hadn’t heard of it before and decided to do a little research. A little googling uncovered this post with some information. It sounds fun – a 35mm […]

Mimicking film with digital tricks
Posted at 12:34 am | Filed Under uncategorized
Pssst! I’ve got a secret! Most decent imaging programs have the capability of automating actions. With the right actions applied to a photo, you can easily mimic some of the quirky qualities of your favorite film camera on multiple photos and bundle the actions to share with others. To Wit, the Holganizer. With it, you […]

One of my favorite photos from a walk along the water in San Francisco. Things change so quickly out there that these pictures are all that’s left.

“Night Vision: The Art of Urban Exploration”, a book review
Posted at 12:17 pm | Filed Under journal
Troy Paiva is one of my favorite photographers of late. I love his choice of subjects – googie architecture, abandoned buildings, junk yards and the southwest desert. He shoots almost exclusively at night and uses a combination of colored flashes and LED lights to “paint” his subjects.

Miroslav Tichy
Posted at 12:02 am | Filed Under art, film
Am so enthralled with the photographic work of Czech artist Miroslav Tichy, who made cameras out of cardboard tubes, thread spools, rubber bands, and other similar things, and then photographed public scenes in his small hometown. He developed the negatives in a bucket at night, because he didn’t have a darkroom. Later, he said that […]
