Wishing Pond. 35mm shot on Canon AV-1 using 200 Tudor film (which I believe is FujiFilm rebranded). This was shot on 20mm lens with UV filter. Post processing in photoshop including cropping the negative and slight saturation boost.
Hard to believe its been such a long time since I posted. Unfortunately, a very close and dear friend passed away after long battle with an illness. Though I completely splurge and bought a massive amount of film in last November, photography has really been the last thing on my mind.
However, I did take a couple of Polaroid shots this weekend, and I checked my fridge, and I have still have 8 rolls of colour negative film to develop. I might roll up my sleeves and develop them this weekend.
Here’s a little shot I took this weekend using 690 film, with my 600SE camera, titled ‘Walk Away’
So this month, an official state legal manual was published in New York to serve as a guide for judges and lawyers who could face grim questions in another terrorist attack, a major radiological or chemical contamination or a widespread epidemic.

The manual, benignly titled ‘Public Health Legal Manual’ can be downloaded here (pdf file 3.7 MB)
I thought I posted this here before but apparently I haven’t!. Ceck out the Post Apocalyptic dioramas of Lori Nix, which I found via the art blog, hey mammoth.

The City is the newest series by photographer Lori Nix. Over the course of a 7 month period Nix meticulously crafted each of these tiny rooms (dioramas) by hand and slowly created the lighting for the each shot. I love it when a photographer will spend a tremendous amount of time creating a set or in this case a diorama. For me, there’s something special about putting yourself into the image long before the image has even been captured — doing this creates a connection between the photographer and the image that you cannot get any other way.
this last one reminds me of an abandoned vault from the original fallout computer games :

This was my first attempt at Infrared Photography. I had used very old chemicals (3 years expired but refridgerated) – I probably ‘pushed’ it a bit too far, but as this was a test roll, it was ok for me to just muck around with it. The results where interesting but very very grainy. Though they looked sharp on the negative, once scanned you definitely
