I’ve been playing with this LomoChrome Purple film now and again. LomoChrome Purple is designed to be shot with a standard 35mm film camera, and it is supposed to replicate the look of infrared film. And if I use different filters on the LomoChrome, it can create dreamlike, surrealistic viewscapes. Yesterday, I took a roll…

Nikola’s Roses and Tesla’s Tailor Shop
I’ve been trying to find a way to use this Revolog Tesla 2 film, to make a picture that will stand out and impress. So far I’ve shot vintage signage with it… I’ve shot ghost signs with it… I’ve shot baseball pitchers with it. And no matter what I’ve photographed, the pictures are okay –…

This isn’t supposed to happen. I’m not supposed to have second-thoughts or third-thoughts about my pictures. If I think my photos are winners, then I put them in competition and see how they do. I’ll turn the photos into Dream Windows and sell them for charity. I’ll promote the becheebers out of them in this…

I’m not going to lie. The past two weeks have amounted to hell on earth for me. Everything I’ve done of late has turned into a big steaming pile of manure. It’s almost as if I can’t get out of my own way. It’s Sunday afternoon. I’m still in a miserable mental funk. And I…

Getting some purple passion
I love experimenting with film. It’s fun to create new images and new photography concepts. Part of working with film is to use the properties of the film itself to create something special in the final image. I’ve already experimented with redscale film, expired film, cross-processing and sprocket-hole photography. Now to take this to the…

I think I can do this. I just have to find the right ingredient – the right catalyst – the right part of this project that will work best in this situation. Background. A while back, I tried running two rolls of 35mm film in my Agfa Clipper Special f/6.3 camera, which can handle 70mm…

The Revolog Tesla shots
Time to have a little fun with two rolls of film that just came to my mailbox. And hopefully by “fun,” I mean that I can win some awards with these shots. Revolog is a specially prepared Austrian 35mm film that is pre-marked with effects and textures. Although you can take normal pictures with this…
Read MoreAnother test of the GAF Aerial film
So I loaded another roll of GAF Aerial film in one of my vintage cameras, and went out shooting last Sunday. Did I get a decent shot with film so old, it could have taken pictures of the Bicentennial? Click in today’s blog and you can see if all went well.

How do I explain this without sounding like a complete kookybird? I just woke up. Yawn. Stretch. And I had an idea for a photography shoot. Truly the best ideas germinate when the subconscious and the dream world collaborate. And for me to make this dream a reality… I need to wrap some splitfilm. My…

A couple of years ago, I tried a photography experiment where I composed one shot in two cameras. My “Single Shot: Half Shot” photograph, if you will, was designed so that the film was be exposed in one camera, then re-exposed in a second camera. I got it to work – at least reasonably so…
