chronicles of film: pt 2

i've had these for ages but i've never uploaded them because my scanner sucked. so i took it to school and scanned them and edited them (darken and add contrast, because school scanner has bad color) idk if your screen will darken the images but i *think* my laptop has the correct colors. :x


(sorry for awkward exposure, at this time i was still getting used to film)

getting a shot of the nyc skyline.

new york city! back from my trip in december. :x


this second batch if from the liberty science center (also in december) and some misc photos from march i think. more i part three.


imax and a window :B


*WAIT, i think i them here already...woops. these are better quality* and that's my BLINDED face.


needed something to fill up the awkward last space. a photo of my friends at claudia's sweet sixteen. 

fisheye photos part 1

blah! i have a research paper due THIS THURSDAY, so i'll retreat into obscrurity until then.

i acutally have all my 365 edited and ready to post....(from procrastinating this week) and there are a lot i like! hopefully i'll get them up soon ;)

anyway, i've had two rolls of fisheye photos developed a while ago but i haven't uploaded them because my scanner is seriously the worst scanner on the face of this earth. it DESTROYED the quality of the photo (which in real life, looks fine and clear/noiseless). so therefore, i need to fix them in photoshop. :| (and after i tried to fix them they still looked bad, fml) but i did edit seven or so until i lost sanity, so i'll post them up here.

there are much better ones to come - so these are the boring ones :P

taken on december 27, 2009. liberty science center :)









part two will hopefully be up soon :D i really love some on the ones i took in NYC.

the chronicles of film: roll one

i made a carbonmade show: click click click goes the weasel.

film film film, i have to say i love it. so far i've only used the lomo fisheye no 2 - but i hope to expand my collection as the year goes on.

the lomo is pretty good, just not the best quality camera. it's fun to play with and see the results. the double (infinite) exposure fascinates me.

so these are the photos from my first three rolls of film. since i forgot that is was 400 iso film and could not be used indoors - only 25/75 photos came out. one roll was old and decaying in my parents old batter drawer - so i just took it out and tested it. the other two were new.

well, learn from your mistakes right? but i'm excited and can't wait to experiment more :D

i scanned these with my old scanner, so i apologize for the quality. it looks nasty, and it sucks. i mean i like vintage photos but these photos came out really nice but the scan doesn't really show that.

my favorite one is this one,


now onto el fotos.

1. single exposure, snow day <3 2. triple exposure 3. single exposure, normal day 4. triple exposure, sky!

1. the fridge. flash + triple exposure
2. el messy room.
3. bulb, christmas tree.
4. double exposure on bulb. lights.
*the red spots are from the 8+ year old film. i like it actually.

1. self on bed XD double exposure + flash
2. an epic double exposure of my mouth and my desk. look closely.
3. simple, flash of my parents room.
4. an unattractive double exposure of myself with flash. haha.

i am so mad the ones at school didn't come out >:|
1. school hallway. one of the only shots that came out well because it was so bright. the first silhouette drawing is mine. :D <3
2. last night was research paper day, claudia and i were tired. pah honors students don't sleep.
3. our of the 20 shots i shot at school, only these four actually came out because of the 400 iso film and i forgot i needed at least 800 indoor. D: double exposure of library. friend hunching over in the background.
4. double exposure, another dark one ): so sad i lost so many good shots. my friend making a face in art class.

'tis all for now. wait for roll two. {i'll name them in the batches that i get them developed in}

LOMO + half day

tralalala, tis another half day :D my laptop is still dying/dead so no photoshop. i'm so used to my mom's stretched out monitor that when i looked at a normal i was like why is everthin' so skinny?

i'm going to attempt to revive my laptop this afternoon. it'll be edit one photo -freezeturnoff- edit one photo -freezeturnoff- oh well D:

complaining aside, my lomo fisheye 2 came today! it is soo much smaller then i imagined it to be but i can't wait to get my hands on some film to try it out. :3 i shall now spam you with photos.








and it came with these cool little booklets and poster - thing.


^ it's a good quality booklet as well.



and today was lens cleaning day :3 well i've actually never cleaned my lens yet....i haven't had any microfiber clothes! i used a lenspen (also came today from amazon) to get the thick layer of dust off - and i hope it didn't scratch it and the quality is slightly improved. i feel cleaner. haha.






my babies.

oh yes, and delicious lunch!




voila - gone!
