Elbow Deep in Negatives

I’ve spent the last two days scanning and sorting film from the last two months. It’s like tapping into memories that were hiding just beneath the surface, tiny little moments that seemed totally unimportant at their conception, but bring a nostalgic smile on their reappearance.

I really like long, quiet drives and uncropped edges.

I’m not entirely sure if I was coming or going in either of those, but that’s just semantics.

There is absolutely NO post-processing on that image.

Which is exactly why I fucking love Holgas. I didn’t plan that, didn’t expect it, and probably couldn’t have done it even if I tried.

Color shots are on Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H Color Negative Film Winged Creatures divx , black & whites are Kodak Professional T-Max 400 – Black & white print film (120mm for both). More on my flickr.

Holga Vision

The Easter Egg Adventure movie full I picked up my first rolls that I shot with my new Holga this afternoon! I love how chaotic and unexpected shooting with it is. The vignettes, random borders from advancing the film too far, and scratches are so great. It’s such a change shooting something and hoping it comes out wrecked.

One problem I encountered was the foam insert inside the camera that holds the film in place decided to advance along with the roll while shooting. I’m pretty sure that’s what caused the black spots on the landscape photo below. I took out the rest of the foam and replaced it with a folded up side of a pack of cigarettes, and put a another folded up bit of the pack under the spool reel to keep it in place. It’s worked fine since then, so eff you, foam fail.

These were all shot on Kodak 400VC 120mm color film. I have a roll of B&W in the camera now, some of which I’ll be shooting Heather Joy with on Friday. I also picked up a color filter set and an adapter this week, so I’ll let you know the results of that when I use it.

The new toy camera I’ve got my eye on is the Blackbird, Fly. Maybe the birthday fairy will bring me one next month!
