Long time no see, now back to the regularly scheduled program...
While in Korea, I found a little camera with a half case, it basically covered the bottom of the camera and protected it, when you were shooting, you'd pull off the top half and be able to shoot with it. I had an idea to take that concept and marry it with a Holga, for almost only aesthetic purposes.
I had my friend Randy over at Holgamods to design and 3d print this half case. There are also a few other upgrades, but I wanted to fancy up my holga. There are a few bugs I'm working out, but for the most part, its a cool little camera.
I'm becoming more flexible on the type of film I shoot. I really love shooting color, and I'm more familiar with color and tones, as opposed to tones of grey and black. I see it color, and I feel like shooting in color just makes sense to me. I've avoided shooting black and white for a while possibly because of the first few rolls I shot and processed in undergrad were so terrible. Having black and white film processed at a lab seemed like a was cheating. But, Its the way of the world, and I'm okay with that for this blog.
I found a weird roll of 120 film in my collection, a roll of Kodak Verichrome Pan. I really love the contrast in the images.
(P.S. I also tweaked a few things in my scanning preferences and are now getting a wider range of tones)
Most of these Images were shot in Tarrytown, NY.
