Film - it’s like an iphone app… only not at all..
Ps. italics in this case seem far more dramatic than normal.
I love this photo. Kaki King was great the other day, and while I’m a fan, that’s not so much the reason.
Double exposure. Sent the roll through a Pentax k1000 (slr) down at the beach. Rewound it very slowly, listening for the sound of it delatching from the reel. Put the same roll back into a Yashica Lynx 1000 (rangefinder), and brought it to several concerts. Camera nerds rejoice. And so far is my favourite from this roll.
Film scanner? Totally an awesome idea.

We might as well call it: Cinema as we knew it is dead.
An article at the moviemaking technology website Creative Cow reports that the three major manufacturers of motion picture film cameras — Aaton, ARRI and Panavision — have all ceased production of new cameras within the last year, and will only make digital movie cameras from now on. As the article’s author, Debra Kaufman, poignantly puts it, “Someone, somewhere in the world is now holding the last film camera ever to roll off the line.”
What this means is that, even though purists may continue to shoot movies on film, film itself will may become increasingly hard to come by, use, develop and preserve. It also means that the film camera — invented in 1888 by Louis Augustin Le Prince — will become to cinema what typewriters are to literature. Anybody who still uses a Smith-Corona or IBM Selectric typewriter knows what that means: if your beloved machine breaks, you can’t just take it to the local repair shop, you have to track down some old hermit in another town who advertises on Craigslist and stockpiles spare parts in his basement.
Dislike.

The Walkmen, in Jacksonville Florida.
El Cheapo cvs scan, Walgreens iso400 film. Yashica Lynx 1000. Dig it.
Might have saw them last night. And got lost in Jacksonville. Or both. Another ye old rangefinder, no meter (props for me on guessing exposure) shot.
Not necessary to go into detail (but I probably will later) about how great they are live.
First time using a rangefinder to shoot an concert. Not bad I say! Iso 200, handheld @ the camera’s slowest shutter speed. (Also, this is a cheap cvs scan)
(Band’s name is Gospel Music, from Jacksonville)
And just to give myself props, it was using a Mir - which is basically a cheap leica ripoff made by the soviet union in 1959. The camera doesn’t have a built in light meter, but I’m getting pretty dang good at guessing exposures.
If posting 2 pictures of a grill on shitty(becoming a favourite) walgreens film taken with a 60 year old camera is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
2 things.
1. Walgreens cheapo film looks cool. I bought a big ol’ pack and have left it marinating in my drawer in a room w/ac (in florida) where temperatures shift 50 degrees, daily. Which could result in the color shifts (I’d like to hope), but I’m pretty sure it’s just underexposed slightly.
2. Broke out the ol’ Russian Mir the other day. Fully manual, not even a meter. And I don’t have a meter. So I guessed the exposure… which resulted in at least 23 useable exposures. Woo!

27. Like everyone, a huge fan of traveling. B movies. 120 film. Scifi/post apocalyptic movies.. Spicy foods/strong beers. Every band should have an accordion or violin. I mostly take pictures of musicians for a living. My previous job was the same, but replace musicians w/dolphins. For the most part this is where I place recent photos, hoping someone out there will take a gander (and let me know what they think!).
There's also the occasional nerdy reblog. No biggie.
For more specifics, become a "friend" or "like" on the facebook.
