The Bridge To My New Diggs

nobody@vox.com(Van De Graeff) — Sat, 17 May 2008 00:58:32 -0700

Finally I will have more elbow room, as we are finally making the transition from apartment to house. I am so happy, I peed my pants and didn't care. No more noisy busy for me. I am crossing the bridge to solace, sanity and quiet.

Hello St. Johns, where have you been hiding.

This Building I Think Is Haunted

Hibbidy Jibbidy BOO!! This building is one of those buildings that you feel within your inner being is haunted to the core. I still like it though!

Dekum Building Portland, OR

Just One Gremlin Left & I'm Fine With That.

Note to self don't feed the beastie after midnight.

Most of the gremlins have left my holga and only one remains, & that one can stay.

The weather today was overcast and uncertain as it is much of the time here. None the less I was able to shoot a good roll of film. Here are a couple of street photos from portland.

Holga Gremlins & In House Karma Repair

nobody@vox.com(Van De Graeff) — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 21:07:40 -0700

The first sunny day in several weeks finally besieged Portland today.

I grabbed my camera and got to work shooting a roll of film in with my friend Holga.

Although unrefined, Holga isn't some crazed grubby Nordic floozy from the viking times that some would expect, but after today I think it does have a gremlin inside its busty innards.

From unintentional double exposures, mystery shots, & lens cap mishaps the first 3/4's of the roll was almost a complete waste of time as I found out when I retrieved the film from the corner store.

Judging from the time line the film presented it wasn't until I visited the local junk shop that things smoothed over.

As it seems what was written on the sign in the junk shop window now makes complete sense upon viewing it in a photograph - In-House Repair - - - - - of Karma.

Thanks sagely junkman!

Some B&W from this past 4 days!

A few shots from this past 4 days! Some from Seattle some from Portland, after all I had to finish up the roll!.

A good mix of stuff from Belltown, Pioneer Sq., Georgetown, & some Old Town Portland to round it out. I decided to push the limits of the aperture setting "clouds" inside, well I got some funky shots, and was happy with what I got. These were shot with a holga 135bc using kodak BW400CN b&w c-41 film, delivered in an hour from freddies and scanned using a minolta di-image scan elite 5400II <---- Phewwww! that alota word.
