Hopefully I have these the right way round! Taken with my Polaroid Spirit at Mudeford beach, Dorset.
Just a picture, I don't really believe that film is dead.
Shot at IKONIX Portfolio Building Workshop, April 2011

Canon touts this as: "The world's first camera of its kind to feature X-sync for Speedlites. The camera's precision and finish was high. A historic model in Japan's camera history." It's a pretty good camera and easily the equal of the Leica's that it copied. It's combined range/view finder is better. The flash bar has a quirky accessory that can be used instead of the flash gun to fire a flash on the cold shoe. So far that gadget has eluded me.
The shutter speed dial has knurling so sharp that it quickly provides the user with some tender places - just before the callouses grow. The Leica dial is a bit bigger an far more gentle on the fingers. I love them all.
Shot my first roll through my Yashica rangefinder. Composing is definitely something I will need to work on.
Well, I figured I should get my lazy butt up and upload some photos. There are a bundle sitting on my computer, I just haven't had the motivation. I've been super busy with work, and my life is just sort of a mess right now. I hope to get more posted soon though!
In my ongoing quest to make digital art less flat, it's time to introduce the latest offering from The Shop: the analog film textures.
My wife's grand father gifted me some of his film cameras just over a decade ago. I shot some rolls of film, then promptly forgot to get them processed. I recently found the rolls, and a nice, independent lab to get them taken care of.
Since I don't know too much what I'm doing when shooting manually, the results were really funky, and captured more the artifacts of the process (gain, light leaks, dust, etc.) than actual images. That means one can overlay these on top of flat artwork, and instantly give it depth, substance, and meaning. All from real film!
Each negative strip has been scanned at ultra-high resolution (1,200 ppi+), then carefully edited, then output into 18" wide images at 300 ppi.
The resulting sixty-nine (69) textures produce interesting things either by using blending modes (Overlay, Soft light, Screen, Lighten, Color dodge), or on their own, as background elements.
