Window Reflection, SOMA

Posted at 7:23 pm | Filed Under art, film, lomo

I bought 10 rolls of expired Fuji Superia Reala 100 from the Lomographic Society. It’s been a while since I shot with Reala, but I can’t see any significant degradation in color. Maybe it’s not that expired, after all?

Jukebox, Canon FTb

Posted at 10:24 pm | Filed Under art, film

I’m continually amazed by the results I get with a good professional film,Â an old-school mechanical SLR like my Canon FTb and a 50mm prime lens. This was shot pretty close to wide-open, probably F/2.8 at the most…

Sidewalk LOMO series – SOMA district, San Francisco

Posted at 6:25 pm | Filed Under art, lomo

Another sidewalk series photo from the SOMA district in San Francisco. I’ve walked the same streets and alleys in SOMA continually for 15 years and am amazed at the things I see for the first time when looking through the viewfinder.

Plates, Jingletown (Oakland) CA – Part II

Posted at 6:51 am | Filed Under art, film, lomo

Here’s a different perspective of the previous post, showing a little more scale of whatever these things are. And, my sense of scale is way off – those pallets in the background are probably 4 feet wide at least.

Plates, Jingletown (Oakland) CA

Posted at 8:21 am | Filed Under art, lomo

The scale of this photo is misleading. It looks like a small-ish dished plate, but they’re actually two machined plates approximately 12 feet in diameter. Taken out in Jingletown, a post-industrial/art studio/loft neighborhood nestled between Oakland and Alameda near the Oakland Estuary. Jingletown Open Studios coincides with the Pro Arts East Bay Open Studios […]

Kitchen LOMO

No other camera can work with low light as well as a LOMO does. Load a roll of slow film, hand-hold the camera, brace it against a lamp post, hold your breath and shoot…

Barriers

Posted at 10:20 pm | Filed Under art, film

I do most of my shooting with a collection of junk store plastic cameras and aÂ freezer full of film I’m working through. Digital doesn’t compare to film – not knowing what I’m going to get until I get the roll back is delayed gratification compared to chimping on a LCD display seconds after the shot […]
