Here again are a couple experimental shots from my trip to Portland a little while back. I have only a couple of exposures left on my second roll, so I will take those and then develop them soon. Though I do prefer the outcome of film photographs, I am finding it pretty difficult to go without a digital camera as well. It's impossible to update my shop, or list the clothes from my own wardrobe that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, which I really need and want to do. It also makes the whole business of blogging a bit difficult - not to mention, expensive. I can't bring myself to shoot pictures of trivial things. For example, I'd like to share the way I've rearranged the furniture in my apartment, but not so much that I would take the time to use up a whole roll of film in a day just to post about it. I really must find a way to correct this situation soon!
In retrospect, I suppose I could have used the birthday money from my parents and Gramma for a new camera - but I got carried away by the excitement of winning this dress on ebay (I'm finding what I've been told about ebay is true; the thrill of bidding and then winning is addictive) and spent most of it on that. That may have been a dumb move, now that I think about it.
I hope it fits.
That is a beautiful dress! Once you get it i'm sure you won't regret buying it :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're right! Rachel Comey usually never disappoints me.
ReplyDeleteWhen do you plan to be in the big city next?
this may sound a bit stupid, but how do you get light leaks? it looks kinda great!
ReplyDeleteI'm going there tomorrow and maybe i'll squeeze in a trip this weekend before i return to copenhagen on wednesday :)
ReplyDeleteNot stupid! I don't know that I have an accurate answer to this, but this is my understanding...
ReplyDeleteMy camera is old, and according to the camera tech that I took it to, hadn't been used for a long time - so the seal around the film chamber had eroded a bit. He said there was a chance light could leak in through it. I'm assuming this is the effect that takes place when that happens. These are the only two out of the entire roll that turned out that way though, so I'm not sure why the others weren't effected. I feel like there may be a way to do this on purpose, but I have no idea how! I'm new to this myself. :)
I keep hoping our paths will cross there. Maybe someday!
ReplyDeleteWell if you end up moving here (very exciting!) then someday our paths are bound to cross, as I have a feeling I will always keep coming back to this city :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your explanation! I just got an old slr myself and thought it would be fun to try, but I went by the camera store yesterday and the camera tech told me you can't really add light leaks by yourself.. Strange indeed that just the two turned out this way, but at least they look great!
ReplyDeleteI also find it strange that there weren't any light leaks at all with the last two rolls I just had developed. Just a fluke, I suppose?!
