last couple

getting too much film back on monday... 220 holga roll with probably many light leaks, two rolls of ultracolor from the a-1, a new roll from my diana+, and a legit roll of pinholes from a converted 35mm camera.

New Hype

really hyped now I bought an slr... though it's a nice break from toy cameras and muddy negatives, it won't take over. Heres some from the first bit of two rolls.

a classic...
















super hyped it has the ability to double expose


























as seen through one of the two viewfinders in my other new camera.

maybe

i dunno... maybe theres something wrong with me, but this is possibly the most interesting photo blog i've ever witnessed... not the whole thing, just the top post about uncle dirty. it's freakin amazingly interesting and bizarre and the best photo material ever.

'Zine

I'm going to be making a 'zine, hopefully in time for Christmas... actually two, one more of a surprise inspired by dave, and another that I'd be hyped if others would submit some photos for. So, I guess we'll see if it happens by whether or not i get some photos from da homies or anyone who reads this thing! Old photos, new photos, any photos. Just send them to wraycharles@gmail.com, send a decent or nondecent scan, or host them on your photobucket or whatever and send some direct links... send as many as you want along with your full name and location, also add bits of info if you want, or a caption, or a story or anything about the photo. Hyped.

More Haunted House and More

expired film is crazy, seems like the further in on the roll i got, the more protected and preserved it was, equaling better exposures.
























my favorite house photo:

Labor and industries claim, going to the hospital in a day or two............ work related injury, just when i'm coming off of my jacked foot/ankle i decide to see what it's like to do things one handed for a while... don't click the second photo.

recipe

for disaster.

use front part of camera and turn it backwards so that the shutter trigger will be on the outside and you can trip it manually with your fingy.









cut up an old tin and bend it into "camera housing"









paint the inside of that tin so that light doesn't bounce around and mess things up too bad, but be sure not to use actual black paint, and for better measure be sure not to use flat paint that would work best, choose glossy so that the light can still bounce around easily and mess things up.









make a mask for your film and tape it inside the back of the "housing". realize later that it's obviously not going to be wide enough and your photos are most likely going to get messed up from light going to either side of the mask.......... duh........... too late now.









cut slits for the film to pass through. tape the edges afterwards so your film doesn't get scratched any more than it already will.









tape a lot.









tape a piece of a broken light bulb over the shutter because most cameras have a piece of glass there.









splice two rolls of 35mm together and use them to wind your film across, one being the takeup spool. tape around the 35mm cans and where the film leaves and enters them so that hopefully no light can enter there and tapdance on your film. tape a viewfinder to it. go outside and get stared at.
