Plastic Camera Redux

Posted at 9:14 am | Filed Under art, film

I found a roll of old photos from my TIME Camera and tried cleaning up some of the spots and lines from processing in Photoshop.

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.

Persnickety cameras…

Posted at 6:09 pm | Filed Under film, journal

My LOMO LC-A has had problems intermittently on the tail-end of the roll. It takes more and more effort to wind the film on, then at frame 18 or so the mechanism slips. It happened again so I shorted the roll and opened it up. It seems the take-up reel has cracked in a couple […]

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, […]

LOMO on the street

Posted at 11:45 pm | Filed Under film, lomo

Random LOMOs from my most recent roll of expired Lucky 100 film. Taken around South of Market, San Francisco. My 1991 LOMO is still going strong, after what I figure to be 100 rolls of film shot through it…

What to buy?

Posted at 12:48 pm | Filed Under film, lomo

The Lomographic Society made me their OSCM expert last week! I’ve got 35 piggy points to spend in the Lomographic Shop!  What should I do, buy some film or spend a little more and splurge on something bigger? I have a 1990 LOMO LC-A and a Colorsplash flash, and my $1 TIME camera beats a […]
