I now have a FISHEYE once again!

Life is SO good.

I didn't realize what I was missing out on.
Yes, I loved playing around with other cameras ... but ... FISHEYE is my one true love.

 

I have another roll coming soon...

As always please visit my Portfolio to see my other works.

Cheers!

Twiddling twiddling...

...my thumbs.
For many reasons.
But one reason being pay day - so that I can finally have enough money to pay for the 5 rolls of film I dropped off more than a month ago. Times are ruff.
In the meantime I have completely fired up an Instagram account, and seem to be semi-addicted.
One of my favorite past-times. Is this a bad thing?
It is amazing how you can transform a little shanty photo into a full fledge filtered medium format spectac-ulaaaar!

   

And a new infatuation... Taking pictures of pictures! WOW...

was at my Mom's and found these blasts from my past...so pricless...and I'm loving the collage potential with Instagram. Really fun.

 

So let's just hope I make some money soon so I can get those 5 rolls of film. Until then, CHEERS!

...and try not to twiddle your thumbs too much.

Zines and New works.

Howdy all,

Thanks to Bay Area Art Grind I found an amazing opportunity to contribute to a color film zine based in Portland, Oregon called...
'" Incandescent "'.
This is a zine that supports amateur and up in coming color film photographers, allowing them to submit their work without a fee!
YES, without a FEE! Fantastic. It's FREE!
I have to admit, half the time I want to submit my work to a show, magazine, etc. I get so discouraged when I find out there is a fee. I work hard just to support myself and my love of photography among other art forms, and then just to pay to get your work considered can be hard. Sometimes you have to just bite the bullet and tell yourself it is worth it, but otherwise it is unsure of you getting your work shown that it is easy to forget about the entire opportunity and move on to the next (free) one.
But, not to be a wah wah cry baby about it! I'm going to submit some work...and among this zine...it brings me to some other zines/mags that have some great ongoing opportunities.

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 :

Holga 120 TLR Twin Lens Reflex Medium Format Plastic Camera |

Holga 120 TLR Twin Lens Reflex Medium Format Plastic Camera | Freestyle Photographic Supplies

& A & N & D &

Lomographic Society Diana Mini 35mm Half Frame Camera |
