Paris - $40 later...

Well apparently I'm not the best about remembering to take off the lens cap when shooting with my Holga.  Here are the few photos that came from the roll of Kodak Tri-X 400.  And I'm thinking the 400 was a tad too slow for the Holga's fixed shutter speed.

So bummed these aren't sharp, C'est la vie.

Top 10 images from 2012

2012 came to a close a week ago, and what an adventurous year it was!  Highlights were: a week long trip to Paris, a road trip to Illinoise (Sufjan Stevens reference), shooting a wedding in Tennessee where I was assisted by my beautiful wife, and kinda sorta wrapping up the year with an incredible road trip throughout California.  While 2012 was slower for me in the business sense, life was at moving at quite the clip.  All in all I shot fewer sessions and weddings, but I do love the thousands of images that I was still able to create.  It was hard picking my Top 10 favorites, but here you have 'em.

Also, a quick shout out to Visual Supply CO. for their rad VSCO Film software.  Thank you!

LoFi Adventures...

So, I picked up a Holga 135 before my wife and I's trip to Paris.  This was due in part to me finding a bunch of film while tidying up my office.  This was all processed and scanned by Walgreens.  My roll of B&W film has to be sent off for special processing.  I can't wait to get that mailed off.

Now I know that the viewfinder isn't quite accurate. Haha.
