everythings going as planned.
been shooting a whole lot of everything lately.
ready to finish up and move on to bigger and better things this summer photography wise
film all summer.
:)
this class has definitely made me become more aware of my need to go back to film photography.
with polaroids and pinholes and everything else ive experienced this semester, ive definitely grown as a photographer and a student. im excited to see what's to come.

Pinholes are going good/bad. I shot more this weekend, but apparently my dark bag isn't as dark as i suspected. and so i have little grey pieces of paper. WHOOPS. more to do more to do!!!
Not much of an update, but I'll post more over the week.
on another note, i've been shooting lots of film lately too I'm really excited about it. :)
here's one of them

So I realized that i'm dumb and I saved my last blog post as a draft but it's up now.:) I LOVE Technology!!!

Ive been shooting my little pinholes. They are sort of difficult to gage, but i think i've decided around 2-3 minutes is a good exposure time. Luckily, i can change my aperture on my pinhole.

here are some of the images that I captured.
They look a bit wonky, but I think that's the fun of it. It kind of takes you a second to figure out what they are because they're tiny paper negatives.
I will bring them into class so you can see them in person. I was having major scanning issues so I couldn't scan them at school. Again, YAY TECHNOLOGY <3

Garage sales and 5$ bills

So, going home to new jersey was not as bad as I expected. I got a few great things out of it, including a new twin lens reflex. Mind you, this little guy was built in the 1940's in Chicago. It is a Spartus SPARTAFLEX. Sounds epic right?
I found this to be an awesome opportunity to not only shoot more with medium format films, but also I think it'd be fun to turn this baby into a pinhole camera! which is exactly what I did!
It didn't take much, really just some light tight tape. But it's a whole lot of fun.
This camera will produce 2.5x2.5 sized pinhole images. I know that they sound tiny, but the end product will be much bigger. I intend on making several of these small paper negatives, and then turning them into positives, and then posting them all together, so it's a huge mass of tiny little images that you won't know what they are until you get up close. :)

here are some images of the camera

paint cans popcorn cans, what's the difference?

So I am making a pinhole camera, and i've been trying to figure out what to use that wasn't a paint can because i want to make this project more difficult than need be, and also, i want bigger images than a small paint can, so i'm using a three different kind of popcorn christmas tin. i have to paint it black still, but i'll do them this week and have the images up by this weekend before spring break :)

here is my can

i just need to get the wooden part!

this is the website im using!

i hate technology.

sooo im blogging from my phone right now because my internet decided to not work.

once again i hade to change my idea because my polaroid camera decided to die with 30 dollar film in it. insert me crying her. so after meltdown number 56 this week i have decided to make some pinhole cameras. its a one shot deal. its new and fun and exciting still while i figure out my polaroid issues. anyone have an old polaroid 600 camera i could borrow.

im going to go cry now.

see ya.

i will post photos this week of my new pinhole camera im making that will have no wires no batteries

UPDATE

Just a short update,
been shooting more film. Charlotte gave me another 600 camera, which is unfortunately broken, but Dan and Duncan said they could fix it (they must be magical). unfortunately it's a camera that has only expensive film. i've been keeping a close eye on camera/film deals on ebay but so far, some are 600$! i will scan in my new Polaroid images tomorrow. I just wanted to update you all on where i am at. but so far, right now, for the cameras that i have, film is going to be 30$ and very hard to come by.
