The real (phishy) Phocus Pocus

With the pilot version edited up and a couple changes I have TRULY finalized (phishy) Phocus Pocus. Maybe I should call this Version 1.

Computer-phobic : Photo-centric

It's an odd thing when you DREAD going on your computer. Lately I've been feeling this way... but I understand that in today's times most people benefit from an online presence...(and I'm still pondering my entirely computer-free existence)... but in the meantime.

Today, with money needing to be saved for rent due on the first, it has been a day of grass root gardening and doggy chillin', but with the internet bill paid for and electricity running rampant in my house I figured it was time for a blog post.

With my email being flooded with notices from the Bay Area Art Grind (always inspiring and egging on the NEED to create new work), I pondered today if I really have a legitimate portfolio. I use this blog as a place for thoughts and tidbits of my works in progress and experimentations...but do I have a PORTFOLIO?

This got me thinking...

I need to dedicate a full website to my work rather than having it scattered all over the web.
I also need a hard copy so I can physically present my work if needed (this could take place in form of a DVD/CD or even a physical portfolio with high quality printed images and text.)

With that in mind... the focus (phocus, haha!) of my work has been purely photographic. I've been digging up my old cameras, mostly focus free cameras.

Loaded with film currently is

+ Olympus OM-10 (currently not focusing/metering correctly)

+ Olympus Infinity II
(You can find my current album of photos from the above cameras HERE)

+ GP Herp (focus free 28mm) [currently have a roll being developed, loaded with a roll of Fuji Color 200 found in an old camera case at UrbanOre Berkeley] UPDATE : The film was majorly heat damaged and did not come out at all. Bye bye $5 to a developing charge. Got it loaded currently so let's see what happens next time :) happy hopes!

Toy Camera dreams!

This weekend I decided to participate in a "Meet Up" with the Lomographic Society in San Francisco. I couldn't resist the !!FREE!! in the event name - if you attended you would receive a FREE roll of 120 film (medium format) and a Diana F+ camera to borrow. I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but as soon as all the "Meet Up" participators set out in downtown San Francisco for a photo excursion I knew the enthusiasm for experimental photography was rampant.

Taking place at the Lomography Gallery Store at 309 Sutter a group of what looked like a class field trip meandered through crowds and crosswalks happily snapping shots of whatever seemed right. The Diana F+ has the ability to manually expose, and create multiple exposures on the same frame.

I will post these photos once they are developed! I have never used 120 film before, so this should be interesting.

Never having the money to invest in such a camera, I have limited my analogue photography to my Fisheye camera (for the most part, just can't get enough of it), but I feel it may be time for a change. It won't be a complete conversion, but a new adventure in experimenting with different photographic formats.

Below are the next two cameras I have in mind :
