Not really, but my hair is really messy right now, and this guy did rock it at least like the king!

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.
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!

So I started a little project not so long ago. It revolves around the use of analog photography celebrating the quirky odd, vintage, instant print, old, dusty, underwater, or handmade uglies out there. The rules are such: I can use any non professional plastic camera that encompass the aforementioned description, & donated expired film in a variety of sizes.
So far I am stocked up for a little while on the 35mm, due to a large contribution from Nicole Medina. :)
She gave me a wonderful selection with varying speeds and brands! thanks Nicole!
I'm still searching for 120mm & polaroid 669 & 600 film, but I'm sure someone out there will hear my plea on craigslist the best site ever.
Here are a few photos that turned out from the very first roll! Enjoy
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.
