I’m used to plastic reels… 4 rolls of B&W
Four rolls of film developed today. B&W, proudly loaded the film on the annoying metal reels (without too much trouble), mixed the chemicals (basically) and developed the film by hand (can you develop B&W film in a machine anyway? well I wouldn't).
One old film from maybe April. I think from cape cod.
Roll from action sampler (didn't get a lot but that's ok)
Roll shot this weekend with Diana Mini (hope I can figure out how to align and scan that)
One more, just don't know what of. I'll let you guys know when I have some pictures scanned and up.
Thanks for reading, If you like what you're reading here and want more,the polaroid dilemma – advice anyone?
it's a problem, it really is a problem. I love cameras, and I really just want to own every new camera I see or read about, but as usual that's not the point. I want to own a polaroid, I think that most photographers that have any interest in the analogue world really do want to own one. It's just my opinion though. Here's the other problem, I can't afford one, I mean who really can afford a pack of film that costs around $1 a picture or more. I like the route of a little less than $2 a roll of film (cheap B&W).
Let's pretend that's not a problem, which is a bad idea because if it wasn't I'd go out and get one or more of every type of polaroid camera. So let's say I can afford the film.
Do I go find some cheap working 600 camera?
Do I go find a not so cheap but probably better SX-70?
Do I go for a spectra camera (which i know nothing about)?
Do i go find a really cool film type 100 camera (fuji makes film in this case but the cameras aren't as new and it's the peel-apart film)? this could be if i decided to go for a polaroid holga back (holgaroid!)
There are probably other options out there also.
We'll see what happens.

If you're like me, which I assume you are since you've made it this far on the internet, you love some aspect of photography if not simply snapping away at everything around you. For me I love cameras, I love looking at cameras I love planning what camera to buy next, I love learning about all the thousands (or maybe just hundreds) of different types of cameras that are out there. Loving something like that is never enough, you have to share it with the world, at least I think so.
That's basically my goal, to share with the world the many different sides of photography, I'm still new to this so I can't really say i have a bias, film or digital, but who really is that interested in learning about new stuff. I like the old stuff, made new. I love to write about my experience with photography, though it's not all that exciting very often. I'll be entering a new life filled with photography and art (on an academic level) very soon and I'd love to share with all of you what my cameras and I can show you.
Lomography is a part of someone's life, hopefully, if the own more than a handful of cameras (though a handful would probably only be one camera). Share it with the world, those around you and those who live across the world that you'll probably never meet. if you live to shoot, you're a Lomographer, you don't need a holga, Diana or a LC-A, you just need film, passion, and persistence.
Thanks for reading, If you like what you're reading here and want more,DIY macro lens modification – found video
Hey everyone, so as you probably know I really love analogue photography but one thing I might love more (at least at times) is macro photography. I might not be into the whole photographing insects or flowers aspect of it but I love getting up close and personal with all kinds of subjects. Here is a video I came across:
I just watched this video on another blog and at first I wasn't sure what was so special about this video. at the end I realized how amazing this modification was. If you switch from a canon EF-S camera to a full frame camera (ef) then that kit lens you originally got became a little more useless than you thought. Doing a modification like this would breathe new life into that relatively useless lens.
Here are some of my most recent macro photos that I've taken of my Nikonos V I should have more up soon I've got a few things I want to try out.
Thanks for reading, If you like what you're reading here and want more,Something about it I’m missing
Out of all my nearly 2800 photos on Flickr, this one has the second most views. I can't really say for sure why, it's certainly not one of my favorites but it's okay. Just thought I'd share that with everyone out there
This is number one, I like it a lot more.
Someone’s ride to work – on film
I kind of love bikes, well I like taking pictures of them. The only reason I don't like riding bikes is because we live in a hilly area and I don't like helmets but that s beside the point. Whenever I'm in a city and I have a camera on hand, I take pictures of bikes, usually ones with no one on them. You can go right past them and snap a picture and you can make up any story about it or it's owner, which I find more fun than coming up with the story behind a person. My bike sadly is just sitting, well hanging, in the garage for a couple more weeks. Here is the start of my collection of black and white images of bicycles. More will join them soon.

I realize the images are very overexposed but that's what you get. They're from the memorial day parade. My camera strap on my LC-A+ broke while I was taking the pictures.

Tomorrow I am planning on going into the city (NYC) on a little bit of an adventure. I know it'll probably not turn out at all how I'm planning but here is the plan so far...
There is a workshop at the Lomography store from 1-3 that I want to go to, mainly just because I haven't been there in a couple of months (or maybe a lot more than a couple) and I'll get a 10% discount if i participate. (i'll hopefully remember to bring )
Afterwards I'm hopefully going to meet up with my brother somewhere in the city and head on our way to a concert on governor's island.
I'll update more later.
