Belated

I rediscovered a Holga photo I never posted. My lens broke after I took this first photo, so the rest of the roll was depressing and blurry. I was at Alum Creek Beach in a sudden downpour when I took this one, hence the foggy lens.

I also had some film developed from my juice box camera and then completely forgot about it until I found it on my desktop today.

Plastic Summer

God, I'd love to go back to California. Columbus ain't so bad, though.

Half Light

My poor Holga. I've dropped it so many times that the focus ring is stuck and the back has a tendency to fall off. It's gotten to the point that no amount of gaffer's tape can control the light leaks, but I think it's endearing (if a camera can be endearing).

And somehow, these last few turned out alright. 

Black and White Winter

For some reason I can only shoot black and white film during winter. I also haven't shot any black and white with my Holga since I was a freshman (the results were atrocious), so I decided to give it another chance. These are pretty much untouched in photoshop.

Colors and joy.

Summer Through a Plastic Lens

Getting film developed from a Holga is always exciting. 

120 film is so expensive that the 12 frames of one roll usually last me months; this time they only lasted for part of the summer. I ordered some polaroid film today for my one step land camera, so look forward to seeing that soon. 

I hope the rest of the summer proves to be just as lo-fi and wonderful.

Warning: Vignettes Ahead

I got a roll of Holga 120 developed from when I went to Pennsylvania last summer, and I am pretty pleased with the results! Usually I am only happy with one or two photos, so this roll proved to be a pleasant surprise. I'm shooting some slide film now, courtesy of Tim Rice. Enjoy!

Sweet old movie theater in Ocean City, New Jersey.

Lookit that lone bird.

Holt doggy. Such a sweetie.

The boys in PA had a makeshift shooting range.

Chicago.

If I'm ever hired to do a wedding, I'm going to use my holga. This was a favorite.

Toy Cameras.

I just received some 120 film I bought off of Ebay in the mail, and I was pretty excited about it. That is, I was excited until I realized that it was $12 to process each roll, and that I needed to travel to Kansas City to even get it processed at all. There used to be a camera shop in my town, but it closed down, and now the Republican headquarters are there. Ugh.

Anyway...here are a couple of shots from my Holga and my Fisheye that are kind of fun.

This reminds me of walking on the moon.

Derek is such a sweetie.

Derek's friend, Wes Musser, had a really awesome large format camera that he borrowed from his school for the week. And these are from January...which explains the snow, haha.

I also figured out how to adjust my margins (look at me, makin' myself all marketable and teaching myself DIGITAL SKILLS). So...expect my next pictures to be BIG! These looked really awful large...mostly because my poor scanner has seen better days.
