I'M SO SORRY I'VE BEEN NEGLECTING THE BLOG - I FOUND MYSELF SO DISENCHANTED WITH MY CHEAPO DIGITAL CAMERA I COULD BARELY SHOOT WITH IT. BUT, WHILE I WAS IN FLORIDA I FOUND AN AMAZING YASHICA POINT AND SHOOT FILM CAMERA THAT HAS JUMP STARTED MY SHOOTING FINGER. IT HAS ALSO INSPIRED ME TO DEVELOP ALL MY OLD EXPOSED FILM THAT HAS BEEN PILING UP OVER THE YEARS. I AM IN A TOTAL FILM GROOVE RIGHT NOW. I LOVE THE COLD POLARIZED GRAIN. YOU CAN'T GET THAT LOOK WITH A DIGITAL CAMERA. WELL, AT LEAST NOT AS EASY - I SHOOT A ROLL AND OFF TO THE DRUG STORE FOR ONE HOUR DEVELOPING. THESE PHOTOS ARE A MIX OF SOME OF THE FILM I'VE RECENTLY PROCESSED.

WE BUILT A DECK IN OUR COMMUNAL BACKYARD! IT WAS BUILD WITH STOLEN PALLETS AND AND FEW PIECES OF WOOD. THE TOTAL COST WAS UNDER $50. I HAD FUN BUILDING IT - I'M NOT SURE WHY I LOOK SO UPSET IN THIS PHOTO. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I LOOK LIKE A NINETEEN SIXTIES DAD WHO JUST FINISHED FOUR BEERS.

YASHICA MAT 124G - I BOUGHT THIS OFF OF CRAIGSLIST LAST NIGHT... TOTALLY SPOOKY - I WENT WAY OUT TO STATEN ISLAND ON THE FERRY - THEN ANOTHER HOUR ON THE TRAIN TO A PLACE CALLED "GREAT KILLS". I MET THE GUY WHO WAS SELLING IT IN A DARK PARKING LOT IN THE RAIN. HE PULLED UP IN A CAR WITH A BIG MUSTACHE AND DALLAS COWBOYS JACKET. I WAS LIKE HOLY CRAP, I'M GOING TO DIE. HE WAS SUPER NICE AND ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO GET IN THE CAR SINCE IT WAS RAINING. I WAS LIKE "NO, I'M FINE..." HE PULLED THE CAMERA OUT OF A BROWN PAPER BAG AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I ASKED HIM IF I COULD LOAD A ROLL OF FILM INTO IT TO MAKE SURE IT WORKED PROPERLY. HE SAID "YEAH, BUT GET IN THE CAR SO YOU DON'T GET IT WET". I GOT INTO THE CAR BUT LEFT THE DOOR OPEN WITH ONE FOOT FIRMLY PLANTED ON THE PAVEMENT OUTSIDE. THE CAMERA WORKS PERFECTLY... AND MY STORY DIDN'T END UP AS A REENACTMENT ON FORENSIC FILES ON TRU TV. I'M SURE HE'S A NICE GUY BUT WOW, ONE NEVER KNOWS.
