More Oktomat Images from Texas to Utah

I have lots more of the Oktomat images. I forgot to post the rest of them. So, here they are. :)

Dead Bloated Cow

Haha, there is a story about this one. So on the drive we're finally coming into Provo, Utah and there is a dead bloated cow on the side of the road-- sad day. Seth is driving and decides he wants a picture so he swings a U and we go back for a snap shot. I take the picture with two cameras at the same time-- this one is mine, and then I also used his.

I'm sure there are more I can post, but I'm headed out the door to go photograph some more. Til later.

Strange Light. Utah. 2010

There was a storm today, as there was yesterday, only today the sun decided to take a peak at the damage done. Turns out, it makes a very unusual combination. Dark skies with brilliant highlights on the ground. I grabbed my camera when I got home and ran outside. This is just around my apartment complex. I doubt I captured it as beautiful as it was, but it was fun for me to try. Blogger totally ruins the color, trust me... it's way better than it looks here on the blog.

Funny names for pictures. That's the hardest part.

Texas to Utah. August 2010.

So I bought an Oktomat camera a while back and used it on my road trip from Texas to Utah. I suck at toy camera photography... or maybe I'm just no good at photography in general. Haha. Oh well. It's super fun playing with this camera. Here are some images from the first two rolls of film. I didn't crop them, so they're pretty rough right now. I may do it later, but I just wanted to get a post up. It's been a while.

Cows

Well that was fun. This isn't all of them, but this is good for now. :)

A mix of things that caught my eye

Yea, I need some practice to perfect my Holga skills. I always forget to set the focal length. Take a gander.

Have a seat

Stay in the light

Old Town theater

I love photography. I wish I had more time for it right now-- I'd be a lot better at it if I did.

When Film Goes Wrong

So this particular roll of film had some trouble. The little sponges inside my Holga came out and were rolled up into the film and cause major light leaks and pushed the film away from view and caused blurring... basically it is a mess. However, I am going to post them out of curiosity. I kind of like them and then again I don't. You can see the "Kodak" on one of them, it's kind of funny. I definitely need to work on my Holga skills. I haven't had much luck. I always forget to change the focal length.

Rocks

Sea Wall

Myspace style

So that was fun! I hope the next roll turns out better. I have some black and white images I will post tomorrow-- hang tight. :)

Seven months later...

Here's a quick update before I head to bed. I've been shooting with my Holga mostly these days. I've gotten bored with digital. The hardest part is that I have to wait 3 weeks for my film to be processed and it's about $10 a pop. I'm really not very practiced at the Holga so this is all very lame looking to me. I love light leaks, but I haven't had any luck with them occurring on a particularly spectacular image. Oh well... the fun part is the reveal as I scan them. I really enjoy film right now since it requires patience. Anyway... here are a few. I'll post more later.

How much is that Vespa in the window?

Fishing Naked

These were from my trip to DC back in April. I really hope to visit there again one day. I was accepted at GWU for my Master's degree, but decided it wasn't for me. I'm applying to more schools on the west coast. I'm not a huge fan of how congested DC was. It was terrific to visit though.

Bits of Quaint things and some Goofing off.

So my sisters and I went to Galveston for the day because I was feeling the need to photograph. Now, this doesn't always mean I'll get something good, I just felt like using my camera somewhere other than my backyard. I captured my sisters being goofy and just some random things that caught my eye. The 2 posts following this one were from the same day.
