NIce work as always. That Frankies Garage sign rocks. Here's a couple of old photos... kinda car related They're tearing these down as fast as I can shoot them. I've missed a few and they're gone now. I'm not much of a photographer, but I love old neon...
Great job guys! Thanks for sharing. I do have a question for Buick59 and I'm hoping it's not a stupid one or I missed a joke somewhere, but what is a "Holga"??
Denise, a Holga is a cheap-ass plastic camera (Russian?) that is full of light leaks and shoddy workmanship... but for some reason they take really cool photos. They've got a pretty big cult following. Kinda like hot rods, people cut them up and modify them and achieve some great results. http://www.toycamera.com/cam/holga.html
Mike, That's akin to putting dubzzz on a Pinto.. I use Kodak Portra 400NC or 400VC (natural color or vivid color) color negative film. I'm interested in seeing some pics from that punk shoot. The cactus is sort of on topic, I was out in the desert waiting for a hemi deuce to show up so I could shoot it.. Here's one from last weekend. Denise, I think part of the Holga's appeal is that it's like a box of chocolates... mikes51- your 3D stuff is astounding. BigA- Bitchin! Are those digitally enhanced?
Hey Rick, how did you get the double exposure in the lower corner? Is that one of the light leaking Holga characteristics? I should email this thread to a friend. I'm pretty sure he plays with a Holga as well. Bob Drake, your '35 is killer.
That double exposure is one of the quirky qualities of my Holga. It shows up in most of the images from that camera. The shutter is a rotating disc with a hole cut in it. There's another plate that's supposed to cover the opening when the shutter rotates back to home. Apparently there's a bit of a gap. The shutter mechanism is the only metal in the camera.. even the lens is plastic.
I have a plastic Russian twin lens reflex that does the same thing, but uses 2-1/4 film. Great for big enlargements. like this picture, but all the metal is plastic.
Great stuff everyone this now my favorite thing about fridays. Here's some parts I outlined this week for a local chopper shop.
Ok...I'll have the holga Images up next week. But I gotsta say having a my Canon flash on the holga did well in that bar. The color images turned out rather well....and the B&W ones did too. Here are some images from my 35mm. Hope ya dig Punk Rawk(not my cup of tea). By the way my friends band name is the "Pagan Dead" Mike
last one I SWEAR TO GOD! By the way these are digital scans of my negatives. I have not made any prints yet. Gonna take a break from the dark room this weekend.
Nothing real cool but took this on my way home from a truly killer junk yard in Salome AZ. This is what is left of a stamp press, real old stuff near the Harquaharla mountain range in West central AZ.
