headed up to san francisco in a few days with ten disposable cameras in tow. i've been wanting so badly to get back to using film again, but i can't decide which camera i want, so i'm resorting to disposable ones for now. five of these ten cameras will end up in the hands of my friends. the results will be posted here, assuming i get them all back.
i'm excited about this, and i can't wait to see what they capture.
fierce delights and crisp wonders...
i don't like it when people use the word 'juxtaposition'. it sounds pretentious. if you go to an art show, you will most likely hear that word uttered by someone who is trying to sound like they know what they are talking about...
ok, i'm done. your turn.
done? my turn again...
...in my opinion, no digital camera will ever beat what film cameras produce. i actually don't mind the grain, noise, and the beautiful accidents one can get out of them. it's part of the feeling a photograph gives off. the developing process also adds to the fun, and sometimes, frustrating experience. alas, the cost to have/rent a photo lab or to even have them developed can add up. these days, it's all about efficiency + sufficiency 'cause we all be broke n' shit! and i also really need to stop taking pictures with my phone and my now dying canon.
so i've been testing out a new mirrorless camera that i'm absolutely in love with (i think). there are so many features and capabilities and a multitude of things i need to learn to be able to use it to its fullest. it's driving me nuts, but i'm enjoying the challenge. truthfully though, i think i'm mostly just excited about all the leica lenses i can use, and at the same time, frown at the reality of not being able to afford one. if i had just a few thousand dollars... le sigh.
...i accept paypaaaaal, visaaaaaa, mastercaaaaarrrd...
nah, if you can spare a sammich + an arnold palmer, that'd be great! heh. (thanks.)
