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.

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.

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.
