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 […]

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.

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 […]

Refreshing

This pic came off the first test roll from my Vivitar IC 100, a $1 plastic camera I picked up recently. It’s pretty standard looking. The insides could come from a LOMO Colorsplash or any number of unremarkable cameras. A simple lens, shutter speed and aperture fixed at 1/100th sec and f/5.6, and cheap enough […]

Plastic Cameras

I love my TIME camera – it’s a Holga/Diana with the chromatic aberrations and vignetting, but without the cost of medium format film and development…

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 […]
