Yesterday was a pretty awesome day. I got my new (to me) Nikon N60 SLR in the mail! I traded a guy I used to work with a print for the camera. He also sent me another really nice lens! It's a Nikkor 75 - 240mm 5.6D AF. Its a zoom lens and its really creepy. Mostly because I can see super far away with it. I think I am going to supplement my income ( Read more... )

I have been thinking a lot about starting to develop my own B&W film because going up to the shop is just getting too pricey. The problem with that is that it involves buying a scanner, all of the chemicals, and a bunch of supplies. If I had more money I would just do it but I will wait for now ( Read more... )

Super excited! I am going to go over to the Berkeley marina and take night shots of San Francisco and traffic via the pedestrian/bike overpass on university ave! I think I want to shoot some at the Berkeley Pier too.

I really need to get a scanner.

I just got the best news ever. I will be shooting in the abandoned train station in Oakland in a few weeks! I get the whole place with out a bunch of people there. I couldn't be more excited! Most people break in there but lucky for me, "I got people". w00t!!!

I had to share this with you guys. These are some of the most beautiful and heartbreaking images I have seen in a very long time...

This weekend Stacy and I had a photo day and went to some "junk" yards and a few salvage places. It was really fun! Stay did a roll of color slide 35mm and I took something like 4 or 5 rolls of 120 and 2 packs of Polaroids. At the end of the day I dropped of 7 rolls of 120 fill at the lab. 3 rolls of Xpro and 1 regular color and 3 black and white ( Read more... )

Seriously.

I can't wait to be done with today and wake up tomorrow and get ready to take pictures. Stacy and I are going to Zachs little league parade this weekend, that should be some good pictures too. I can't wait for Junk yards though!

Yesterday Stacy and I took the best walk at sunset. It was so beautiful around Berkeley. I also fixed my old Polaroid Automatic 100 and got a great shot...

As if I didn't have enough on my plate! Yesterday I found an old camera that I had picked up somewhere about 2+ years ago, before I had ever shot medium formate film. I was playing with it yesterday, opening and closing it, and then noticed that the film advance was meant for 120 film! I wanted to check with my local specialty camera store before I ( Read more... )

So these are just notes on the shots I took tonight. I am not really sure how they will come out. I tried a few different things and based all the exposure times from what seems to be my night shot photography life saver! You guys should check it out HERE. Onto the notes ( Read more... )
