This is the place for any and all of your pictures. Make us hot, show us what you've got.

For those who don't know, I'm kind of a film photography nerd. I've got five film cameras I use regularly and occasionally borrow some of my friends' cameras. I've converted the boiler room into the most ghetto darkroom ever, and there's more film in my fridge than food. Film photography is fun because of how much patience and work it takes. It makes the final product more meaningful, in my mind, because of how much shit you have to do to get there.

So yeah, post whatever you want, be it pictures, discussion, whatever. I'll post some stuff tomorrow night.

When I'm not behind 3 firewalls and websense, I will post.

Ugh, sorry, work's been busy. Here's what I've got on flickr, sorted by camera. By the way, I tend to use weird kinds of film and process them in the wrong chemicals and stuff like that, which makes the colors a surprise half the time.

Praktica FX3. This is an SLR with a few different lenses, but most of the pics are shot on this Russian lens that occasionally does really weird things with lens flares. It looks like ghosts all over the place.

Zorki 4. This is a Russian rangefinder, and I love the hell out of it. It smells weird, it is very temperamental but the pictures it takes always turn out cool. I've got another roll from this that I haven't gotten scanned properly yet, more on that later.

Argus C3. This camera is also a rangefinder, but it looks like and weighs as much as a brick. Its pictures tend to be understated, which can be nice sometimes.

Lubitel. Another Russian camera. This one has a weird focusing mechanism that was broken for a while, so lots of guesswork was involved. This one just is all over the place and not consistent at all, which I am just fine with.

Voigtlander Bessa Zweiformat. This is a folding camera from the 30s. It has no focusing aids at all, so you have to guess... all the time. This means a good portion of my pictures don't come out, but the ones that do are usually sweet. Also, I find it funny that the oldest camera I have is the one which has the least mechanical problems. Go Depression-era camera manufacturers, I guess.

Since flickr only hosts 200 pics at a time, that's like a roll or two apiece. Which sucks, so I will get around to uploading more here... When I have free time next week.

It was taken with my camera, so I claim credit for it.

I've only got my hands on the most basic film photography from a class in high school. It was cool but too much effort for my liking... not that I wouldn't try more of it. Composing a picture is my favorite part of photography.







More digital photos later.

Beautiful shots, guys.

Amazing pics, Spider.

Day-um.

@CJ: Your pics are always epic. I can't really pick a favorite.

Spider: You've got some really nice shots there. The urban ones in particular are quite striking, and it plays to the strengths of black and white very well. Can't wait to see more.

Thanks, guys.

Chocolate Jesus: Your photos are awesome. I especially like the ones from the 2nd and 3rd camera.

I like the picture of what appears to be a roadside cafe. Especially the shadows cast by the umbrellas.

I used to do dark room photography in HS, but I stopped when I graduated. I had a photo published in the Literary Magazine that I was really proud of.

I recently got back in to it. Right now it's only digital, but I plan on going back to dark room after I save money. Here's one of my recent photos:

Nice. I greatly prefer B&W photos to colour. I don't what it is about them that heightens the emotion.

That's brilliant MediaChild.

Awesome photo, MediaChild.
