Seen on Courtneay Place… Before it was illegal to use cell phones in cars.

Not the best photo but it amused me at the time.

Fridge

This is my fridge… Used for storing film and alcohol… Sometimes I put food in it also….

Same shot but two different ways

Last week I was testing out an expired bulk roll of film for the first time and feeling quite sleep deprived couldnt face taking it into my usual urban jungle setting so went to the beach instead. It was reasonably overcast but I was impressed how the film handled and the tonal range that I got out of it. Considering that it expired in 2007 it still seems to be working well.

I like how even though the 2 photos have almost the exact same composition the feeling that they create is vastly different

Hijacked and Amusing Signs

Mind Your Step Because you’re Drunk 🙂

Nice… Even has punctuation.  Found in Leftbank Arcade off Cuba Street, Wellington.

Sounds like good advice

Not sure if this one is hijacked or just amusing

That signs got Ears? Beware Ears Ahead?

Lomography and a short Rant

Taken on a Lubitel 2 (borrowed) 5 minute exposure on Velvia film

One of the things I find increasingly funny in the photography world today is the large proliferation of people who have expensive DSLR’s who spend large amounts of time in Photoshop making their images look like it was shot on a cheap Lomo type of film camera with a plastic lens. You know who you are!

BUY A LOMO AND SHOOT SOME FILM!

Film Start

The start of a roll of film and the exposure it made up against the felt of the cassette (old reuseable one so its a bit ragged)
