I'm sorry for the lack of posts in recent weeks, life has been hectic lately. I'm putting up more content over these next few days. Just because life has been hectic doesn't mean I stopped taking pictures! In fact, I have a BILLION photos I need to post. Well not a billion, but I have some!
A little more then a week ago, I got hit by the film bug. That is to say, I was dying to experience the joy that is film - it's larger range, the ability to hand it to a lab and get the processing done, the joy of flipping through pictures without thinking about how to process them. So, last Saturday, I reached for one of my film cameras and wandered out to take some pictures.
First thing was to decide which film camera to use. There were two options, I could go with the Holga or I could go with the Mamiya/Sekor 500DTL (a decent camera in 1968). I opted for the Mamiya, as the Holga just seemed too..."holga-ish"? So, I grabbed the camera and discovered, much to my dismay, that the little watch batteries that power the meter had died. So, I decided what the heck, I'll sunny-16 it and wing the rest.
I finished off the roll that was in there (and started a new one), took it to be developed and thought "I don't really know what else is on that roll". So when I picked it up I was pleasantly surprised that I had pictures ranging from the last year and a half. I quite like the way these turned out and am quite hopeful that the current roll of film doesn't take that long to finish.
So with out further ado, here are some highlights!
