I have started to accumulate a lot of B&W rolls and that’s ridiculous, so I finally set up the “darkroom” in my tiny apartment and can now begin the arduous process of listening to podcasts and records while I process all these damn rolls of film. …and now some Xtol and TF-4 and kazam! we…
This if from the same trip as last time, hope that’s not violating the terms of this blog, but these were shot with a different camera. This camera has the 105mm f/2.4 lens. (I think that’s right) Its a great way to shoot shallow DOF, although it is heavy & large. We shot for some…
I figured out how to stuff random bits of insulation, towels, and black fabric around the doors in my garage to make it dark enough for printing! For the time being, this is making me happy, because it means I can print during the day rather than starting at 10pm. A few days ago, I…
The pre-dawn light was just starting to come through the lounge room window when I awoke. I had slept on the sofa at my father-in-laws house in Tea Gardens where we were visiting. I arose, and prepared for a lovely dawn on the river after the huge storms in the previous week. Outside, in the…
Today being Worldwide Pinhole Day I am posting some Polaroid pinholes as my week 16 contribution. These are totally out of sequence for what I actually shot on film; but one must honour these special photography days where possible, right? I wanted to make sure I could could get useable exposures with the Fujifilm FP-100C so…
I went to the park (Jephson Gardens – Leamington Spa) and used a whole roll without getting up from the park bench I’d plonked myself down upon. There was one occasion when I really wanted to move closer as a there was a model in a funky dress being photographed but I stuck by my…
via Year of Film – UNDEREXPOSED: Alternative Photography http://ift.tt/1GqWBlf I couldn’t visit the land of Kodak without shooting a roll. I actually picked it up in the gift shop of the Eastman house (from a few updates ago). I haven’t actively shot TX or Tmax since college, and I remember it not being a very…
I knew a guy when I was in college who had a bona fide tagline: “The universe is abundant… (man)” The last bit was optional and the the first bit was typically offered up after an herbal inhalation, a heart-felt discussion of the predictably unfair nature of the world, and an affirmation/invocation of Karmic balance. We’ll call our…
I am a (proud) member of a film photography collective that often posts camera reviews. Recently, there were several articles on half frame cameras, something I had never heard of before. As I read, I became more and more obsessed with the idea of being able to make diptychs in-camera rather than trying to stitch them…
Last November seems long ago now, but I have finally developed colour photos of the sailing stones at Racetrack Playa, made just before sunset on our last day in Death Valley. It was an incredible experience – almost surreal! I will never forget racing across the playa with a 4×5 camera and tripod, photographing the…
This past month it has been hard, as a working photographer and busy Milwaukee socialite 😉 to get all my film shot. I finally got some two rolls shot, processed, and scanned. I am going to renew my efforts to get properly on schedule. Week 15 is at the lab now, and Week 16 >WILL<…
I got this very cool half-frame Olympus from a pawnshop for a steal and it’s rad as shit! It’s opening up some possibilities with the images about future projects, we’ll see what happens.
