City + Plastic Camera -- (more pigeons...)

because everybody takes pictures of pigeons...
"a pigeon walking"

i took these last fall actually
but didn't upload any until now

 "birds"

i have a whole bunch more
not all of them are pigeons...

"Skechers, The Mission"

Am I putting these up because I'm trying to just post something?
Hey, maybe.

"blue haze"

That blue one was one of those flukes of the toy camera I've been using.
Everybody is always clamoring for those light leaks and fuzzy images
(hence instagram)
The auto-wind on my particular camera doesn't always work, 
so I sometimes wind up with unexpected double exposures or split images
here's another of those...

"Things to Come"

Although the unexpected flairs are fun, what I like about this camera is the absolute lack of any functions... it's widest aperture is 6.3.

I can't even focus the damn thing!

So it really puts all the emphasis on getting clean shapes & compositions, or catching the most dynamic light in the frame.

"dust & plastic" -- an ode to lost toys -- photography


Light was nice coming through my window this morning,
so set up a quick still life of my toy camera.
an LED with an orange/tungsten gel on for the fill.

"Dust and Plastic"


yup...

 another photograph of an old camera...

...that's what this blog is turning into...

in the city with a plastic camera

has it really been a week since my last update?
i'll post something to keep from going dry.

The other day I came across one of those plastic cameras.





The shot of the man at the crosswalk is my favorite.
