Hey #SomervilleMA #CambridgeMA #Boston and nearby #BelieveInFilm #LoFiPhoto peeps: Somerville #ToyCamera Fest is doing some pre-Fest events this year, starting with a Photo Wander/workshop on April 26, led by Jim Rohan.

Get your #Holga #BrownieHawkeye #DianaCamera or other fantastic plastic-lens #AnalogPhoto device ready!

Here's one I took either with the #Duaflex or the #Hawkeye, not sure anymore. It's really pretty nice and crisp.
You can see one effect of the simple lens in the curve of that trolley-wire support pole. I'm pretty sure in real life it's completely straight. This is a nice modern steel pole, probably 25-30 years old or so, on the #SCVTA (if it was an old wooden pole on the #SFMuni, I wouldn't be quite so sure!). The first version is the original, and has kind of low contrast. The second version is color-enhanced with #Irfanview. My bet is the negative is on the overexposed end (the lab sent me scans electronically, and I haven't picked up the negs yet).
But, decent results for a 75-year old (at least) low-end camera.

Got a new batch of film processed. Here's a few samples. These are all #mediumformat/#120film (some of them hacked up into 620 rolls), in a variety of mostly low-end vintage cameras.
These are from a Kodak Duaflex and/or a Brownie Hawkeye--it took me a while to get around to getting everything developed and I'm a little hazy on what I took on what.
The first picture is from the 22nd St #CalTrain station and I feel like this is the artsiest picture I've ever taken.
The #CableCar barn picture was taken late at night. There's a little brick wall by the entrance, and I propped it there for a crazy-long exposure, maybe 30sec. I'm always happy when that sort of thing actually works.
