Don’t think, just shoot

Posted at 7:19 am | Filed Under art, film, journal

This LOMO mantra’s been getting easier for me – since I’ve been growing my hair longer and spring breezes are here, I’m having a hard time looking through the viewfinder without my hair getting in the way of the lens or the viewfinder! I shot a roll of some generic $.99 cent store ISO 200 […]

My new plastic favorite, the Vivitar IC 100

Posted at 6:50 pm | Filed Under art, film

The Vivitar IC 100 is rapidly turning into one of my favorite toy cameras. I broke from my usual “100 speed film only rule” and shot this roll on Fuji Superia 400. With the fixed 1/85th second shutter and f/5.6 aperture, I can use all the light sensitivity I can get!

Refreshing

Posted at 10:00 pm | Filed Under art, film

This pic came off the first test roll from my Vivitar IC 100, a $1 plastic camera I picked up recently. It’s pretty standard looking. The insides could come from a LOMO Colorsplash or any number of unremarkable cameras. A simple lens, shutter speed and aperture fixed at 1/100th sec and f/5.6, and cheap enough […]

Old LOMO Wall, 2009

Posted at 11:50 am | Filed Under art, film, lomo

I started putting my LOMOs into a patchwork using double-sided tape on an old piece of foamcore tape a few years ago, and got to the point where I needed something a little more usable. After a while, the prints would fall down, overlapping prints meant tearing the print when I rearranged them, etc. I […]

Chopsticks @ 50mm, Oakland, CA

Posted at 10:45 am | Filed Under art, film

Old print, new scanner. This was taken in Oakland’s chinatown back in 2002 or so. I love the shallow depth of field you get with a slow film, an old mechanical SLR and a 50mm Prime lens.

Gettin’ artsy with my LOMO in low light

Posted at 9:01 am | Filed Under art, film, lomo

I’m always amazed at the LOMO LC-A’s ability to capture vivid colors in low light. Every other camera I’ve tried has given me washed out colors when I extend the shutter speed out in low light. With my LOMO, I load up the slowest film I can find (Lucky 100 when I can find it, […]
