when good film ....

gets hacked up by a photographer that doesn't know her camera.....and then she takes it to a walgreen where it gets hacked even more.... this was shot on a pentax full manual, obviously overexposed and then apparently there were all sorts of light leaks.  this is black & white film made to be processed on a color processing system so i'm not sure where the blues and pinks come in except that perhaps the processor was not calibrated or the whatnot.  the more i stare at them, the more some of them appeal to me.  not in the hey, look what i shot way but in the weird, bad photography sort of way. 

kickin' it old school

*breaths deep*  so...here are the unedited shots from my film expedition yesterday.  today i received my pentax k1000 slr which i will be taking on a road trip tomorrow.  *crosses fingers*  i won't be going back to film full time - it's too expensive for me, plus there's that whole instant gratification thing of dslr...but i liked the butterfly feeling that i got when i picked up my film today.  that is a bit of magic back in my life.  now i just have to slow my roll (hahaha) and start taking pictures at a slower pace like i did before the dslr.  forcing myself to think more of composition.

these are using my canon rebel (circa 1991-1992) that has never been used on anything except the "green modes" before.  it was also using the kit lens which is a 35-70mm lens.  (f/4 is the lowest aperture)  the film is kodak BW400CN which is a film that can be developed anywhere.  i'm on the look out for some fuji but both of the places i visited this weekend only carried kodak.

ok...here we go.  some of these you will recognize from yesterday's ramblings...
