Just got two rolls back from Old School Photo Lab, one of which was a ~10-12 year old roll I found when I was last at my parents house. The above is blurred-head self-portrait of me as a teen. Developing this was like some weird time capsule. Yes, that is an accordion.
Roll of Firsts!
First time using slide film; first time using 100 ISO; first time using my Minolta AF-C; first time cross-processing; first time developing by mail (Old School Photo Lab, phenomenal).
Super pleased with the results, and that camera is so small & pocketable it just might become my carry-all-the-time film cam. Click the pic for more. Success!
Shuttered Gas Station. Bronx, NYC. February(ish), 2012.
Street-view it for ColorVision! If I were a squatter I’d live in there. Seems like more and more places are abandoned and vacant in my neighborhood, kind of lame/scary, but makes for some nice photos.
OMFG (it’s there). 10th Ave & Little West 12th Street, NYC. Summer 2011.
Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim, Kodak T-Max 400.
Seaside Park, Bridgeport, CT. 27 Nov. 2010.
Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim camera, Afga Pro Pack 200 film.
Another shot of The Blockhouse in Central Park. Wish it was unlocked.
Minolta Hi-Matic 7s, Four Corner Store C41 B&W 400 film.
Invest in Community at Occupy Wall Street.
Golden Half camera, Four Corner Store Short Attention Span 400 film.
Lady with a Dog.
Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim. Kodak Tri-X 400TX.
Looks pretty grainy because it’s a bad scan of the negative, I’m just too lazy/cheap to get them re-scanned.
Running 35mm film through my medium-format Kodak Brownie Twin 20 worked! Above is a terrible scan I did on my flatbed scanner with an Ikea lamp as a backlight. I’ll have to figure out a way to get high-quality scans because sprocket hole photos are where it’s at.
Serious Suspenders.
I’m not sure I could be happier with how this photo turned out. I snapped it from the hip…I was just hoping I got the guy in frame!
Phase 1 Demolition. Upper West Side, NYC. Summer 2011.
Another Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim shot. I have a second roll about halfway done in it now—gotta finish that.
16th & Irving Place, NYC. Summer 2011.
This is from my first roll ever using the Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim. I found it in a thrift store for $1.91, which is amazing because I was probably 2 weeks away from spending $32 on this exact clone.
Good things come to those who something something.
