Foggy night with the Pigalle.
Ok I only have hundreds of cameras at my disposal to shoot with and for the most part it is a rather copacetic experience. Recently I have been using the new Lomography Instant Square Pigalle. I'm not sure exactly why I love this camera so much, maybe it's the joy of instant photography, or the fact it has more control than most instant camera out there today, or maybe it's that delightful little SX-70 looking print. I had only shot two boxes of film with it, most of it at a party which everyone loved. I left the party with only 2 remaining frames and a city full of heavy fog. I had made a test exposure with a long exposure a few days before, an interior that took 10 seconds. I was amazed that I did not have adjust the exposure and re-shoot it, the camera nailed it on the first frame. With this shot I braced myself up against a light pole and took the picture. About 6 seconds later the image was presented to me. I am hemorrhaging happiness with this shot. It reminds me of a scene out of the Exorcist. I love this camera.
Camera: Lomography Pigalle, 6 second auto exposure with the flash turned off.
Film: Fuji SQ10
