A wheat-paste poster I pass by every day walking from my car to work.
Here’s an earlier version I took with my camera phone and posted to my low resolution site.
Tag: SOMA
Warehouse, SOMA
Leaf a la Jazz
Chromatic aberration? Pincushin distortion? Vignetting? Must be a Jazz Jelly!
Shot with generic 200 ISO $.99 store film.
Bell and Howell, more Plastic Camera fun.
More plastic fun with a Bell and Howell $1.99 junk store camera.
Broken Ride, Downtown San Francisco
A more recent shot with my Aiptek Pencam SD.
Hal 9000, circa 1981
Window Reflection, SOMA
I bought 10 rolls of expired Fuji Superia Reala 100 from the Lomographic Society. It’s been a while since I shot with Reala, but I can’t see any significant degradation in color. Maybe it’s not that expired, after all?
Zeno Place in SOMA SF, again
Another shot of Zeno Place, an alley in San Francisco fighting against modernization and gentrification.
Bicyclist on Townsend, SOMA SF
Cube Light LOMO
Another quick snap on my lunch hour in SOMA district, San Francisco. I scanned this one from the print instead of using York Photo‘s online scans.
Sidewalk LOMO series – SOMA district, San Francisco
Another sidewalk series photo from the SOMA district in San Francisco. I’ve walked the same streets and alleys in SOMA continually for 15 years and am amazed at the things I see for the first time when looking through the viewfinder.
Barriers
I do most of my shooting with a collection of junk store plastic cameras and a freezer full of film I’m working through. Digital doesn’t compare to film – not knowing what I’m going to get until I get the roll back is delayed gratification compared to chimping on a LCD display seconds after the shot was taken.
…And what can compare to opening the envelope and seeing the print in your hands with that memory captured seemingly forever? Hold the print just right and you feel like you can reach in… Digital doesn’t do that.
Pepsi
Yellow
Greyho
Greyhound Station, San Francisco CA. LOMO LC-A, Kodak HD 400 film
Continuing my window study
A window I pass by every day on my way to and from work. This time, with a Colorsplash and Fuji Superia 400 film.
Big Brother
BENT-28
I don’t know what this means. But I liked it.
More Random LOMOs…
…Gathered on recent walks through the Tenderknob, SOMA and parts elsewhere, San Francisco.
Gettin’ artsy with my LOMO in low light
I’m always amazed at the LOMO LC-A’s ability to capture vivid colors in low light. Every other camera I’ve tried has given me washed out colors when I extend the shutter speed out in low light.
With my LOMO, I load up the slowest film I can find (Lucky 100 when I can find it, Fuji SuperHQ 100 when I can’t) and shoot away.
