thanks for checkin it out, I will start putting more effort toward this at some point.

July is gonna be nuts, I got a commercial and a music video I am shooting and prepping for.

holga

18 06 2007

So, this is my first roll every shot through a holga.

Obviously I really didnt know what I was doing. I think once I get some more through it I will be able to guess much better.

This is all tri-x 400 and lab neg scans.

Some are alright, most are rubbish, but thought I would share all of them that had at least a small bit of picture on them.

Completely by accident double exposure. I wish I could see the face I was making, Im sure it was wondering what the hell this camera is doing.

This is the inside of my fridge. I dont know why I decided not to flip it. More interesting I guess.

The last two you can find on my deviantart page. I liked them enough. I have been waiting and waiting on getting a roll through the holga and finally adding something to the holga group.

ok so yeah, nothing too cool but some fun stuff

hope all is well

later





the great outdoors

16 06 2007

Some stuff from when Oliver Gabe and I went to Starved Rock State Park in IL.

It was a blast but we didnt get there early enough in the day to see the whole thing.

We mainly just spent our time trying to wonder off the path into as many places as we werent supposed to be.

I dont know about other people but paved pathways is not what i call hiking through nature.

We found some cool canyons and waterfalls.

Well here is some of the better pictures. This trip is one of those times where I wished I had some sort of digital camera as well. Even if it is just some kind of point and shoot.

Some chairs outside Tony’s house. Might not have been the same day but who cares!

09090032.jpg

I dont really shoot out of moving cars very much but this was kinda cool. Its framed pretty straight for not looking through the finder.

09090009.jpg

I hate the backseat. For starters Im 6′4 and I always feel left out. Ok not that much but it still sucks.

09090006.jpg

Some crazy stainless steel urinal they had at the park.

I thought it was funny…

Their first glimpse of wildlife or something

This is some of that fomapan crap again. So contrasty you cant even make out his face.

intersting I guess

09110021.jpg

Same here

Gabe attempting the impossible!!!!

he was so scared, it was only like 6 feet off the ground!

09110009.jpg

floating log on the Rock river, I believe.

all in all it was a very fun day just wish I had more and better pics to show.

hope all is well

later





finally

13 06 2007

got some new stuff.

couple of rolls I have been waiting to get developed for awhile. Still dont have a scanner so these are all lab scans.

Not very good ones either.

Im pretty sure all of these are from a free roll of fomapan I got.

Doesnt look very good at all. I did shoot it at 800 but it still came out pretty crappy. Could have been the developing though.

oh and my monitor crapped out so its off getting fixed and I am using a loaner. Lets just say its nowhere near calibrated correctly so if these look strange in any way let me know. I probably cant tell on the thing.

Sushi night. Lots of rain and lots of car wrecks. Pretty entertaining though.

09090016.jpg

Gabe doing god knows what. Mesmerized by the blinking lights.

09090015.jpg

I think you get it.

I was just thinking about how we werent waiting for a bus, but they are in a bus stop. not sure what was going on.

Welcome to the Trav show.

Sitting at the bar watching the Cavs play the Pistons. Lets just say LeBron James is a god.

It was game 6 I believe. Double overtime. So goooooood.

Ive got a couple more rolls to go through.

thanks again for looking around.
