Medium Format

I just got the scans from the four rolls of film I sent out for developing! My new/old ebay purchased medium format camera works! Well… it produced an image. Moron over here didn’t figure out how to actually use it correctly until he’d basically ruined two rolls of film, but those two rolls of film both produced images that look mostly okay!

My Lomo Lubitell 166 Universal works!

That image is from the second roll. Note how there are two images over lapping. That is because I am an idiot who is bad at geometry.

The second roll came out much better than the first, but the first one was exposed when the back of the camera popped open on me. Everything was messed up to various degrees.

The next roll I shoot will be better… I think. We’ll have to find out. Focusing this thing is a bitch, so who knows.

No Film… Again

Another weekend without sunlight and another weekend without me shooting any film. I guess I can just post a bunch of pics from the last batch I had developed. That will hold me over… forever.

More Fun with Film

Did I take advantage of the perfect Spring weather to go out and take a shit load of photos today? No. No I did not. I suck. To make up for it, here’s another bunch of pics taken with my father’s Pentax K1000.

Note the matching t-shirts.

Not a horse’s ass, but…

Will I Bring it Next Time?

If you had asked me two days ago whether or not I was planning on bringing a film camera on our next Florida vacation in June I think I would have said no.

Then yesterday I got a bunch of film developed and now I think the answer will probably be yes. I am so easily manipulated.

Seven Rolls

Seven rolls of film. All downloaded, sorted, cleaned up, and uploaded to Flickr. Here are a few randoms from the haul.

From Burlington, VT. I don’t remember the name of the bookstore.

From the Atlantic Ocean in Hampton Beach, NH. Splash.

From the happiest place on Earth.

From Animal Kingdom… unless it’s from The Last of Us.

From the lake surrounded by the Beach Club, the Yacht Club, and the Boardwalk hotels in Disney World.

With Kylo Ren at Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios.

From Rockefeller Center in New York, NY.

And in closing, my new favorite photograph.

So Close Now

One work day after today. Two days until the first full day of vacation. Three days until we fly to Florida. It is getting harder and harder to focus on anything else. I still need to pack. I still need to decide which film camera and how many rolls of film to bring.

I probably won’t bring any black and white film, unless there is already a roll in whichever camera comes along. Dad’s Pentax is empty at the moment. I’m thinking of bringing that one. We’ll see.

This water fountain is in the hotel we stayed in last time. I just can’t remember which one (we stayed in two last time). It is either Coronado or Saratoga Springs. My beloved bride, Jen, says this was in Coronado. She’s always right.

Getting Close

It is Wednesday. Vacation starts on Saturday, three days from now. The Florida trip starts on Sunday, four days from now. The temperature gauge in my car told me that it was -3 degrees out as I was driving through Wilmington, MA a couple of hours ago. Florida can’t get here soon enough, know what I mean?

This photo is inside a Disney Resort Hotel. That’s why it applies to the topic of this post. It’s not obvious so I figured I’d explain. Maybe I’ll post another Disney on film thing later just to be more obvious. We’ll see.
