Finally, pix not taken with a phone.

I finally got around to "digitizing"* some old film. One is from my Zeiss shot early last year some time, with pix from the roadtrip I took to pick up Charlie when he moved out and a few shots around Venice, CA while I waited for a singer I was photographing to get her makeup done. Then there were a couple rolls from my lomo, random shots around town. You can check them all out on my flickr site if you're so inclined.

From my road trip. I was having an issue with the camera so I unloaded the film and put it back in, this is a double exposure.

Venice, CA.

Chinatown.

Hhmmmm, donuts.

Mysterious tanks.

The Arboretum.

F-104, March Air Museum. 

Abandoned garage, Glendale.

I have six more rolls to process, plus the one in my camera. I'm trying to get away from the phone a bit, just for kicks.


*I don't have a scanner really. I can occasionally use my wife's work scanner but I tend to not get enlargements made, just contact sheets. This has led to a sort of lo-fi, hi-tech solution to digitizing my negs. I put them on a light box and shoot them with my digital camera. People have copied photos this way since the beginning (I've read of daguerreotypes of other daguerreotypes) and it does lend a sort of vintage look to the final result (especially with color, which is tough to balance this way).
