Scanning in some old ass film!
So I have been scanning in some old ass film :) There are some rolls here that go back to at least 2003. These shots were shot using (i think) the Nikon FG 35mm sometime around the olympics but I am sure these were shot on Fuji 1600 that was pushed a stop to 3200 (hence the awesome grain) Yes this is a shot of a toliet. It’s a thing that I tend to do. :)
This shot I am pretty sure was shot thought the window of MacLeod’s Book Store on the corner of Richards and Pender.
Pinhole Holga
I recently bought a shiny new Wide Pinhole Holga from the ever lovely Nicole over at Beau Photo. It’s basically a Holga with a pinhole lens that takes either 6x9cm or 6x12cm photos. It’s awesome!
The photo below was taken with this camera. It’s acutally the first roll i have run though the camera! It is about 15 or so separate exposures all shot overlapping and double exposed all on this one roll of film. There is no photoshop trickery here just multiple overlapping pinhole exposures!

Banjo’s in Fernie
This is a Mamiya RB67 shot that I took when we drove to Fernie a few years ago.
Sprocket Film on a Omega 4X5
This is a collection of 35mm film that I loaded into a 120 film holder for a 4X5 Camera. Yup it was that cool! :)
WoodWards – Random Film scanning
This is from a group photo walk with the users of the aforementioned Edge Photo Group. This was shot on Colour Neg Film (Kodak Portra VC400 I think) with a Mamiya RB67 and then Cross Processed. I like it.
K a certain tiger is having a BBQ so I leave you all now.
I have been developing some old film
My building is awesome. If you haven’t heard me rave about our Amenities building before you will now. We have an awesome user run art building that contains pottery/wood/metal/print making/music studios as well a awesome darkroom that I help run. one of the things that we have acquired for the darkroom is the every lovely Epson V750 Film scanner.
This is a reasonably cost effective film scanner that will scan Negatives up to 8X10 and at way better quality then I could have imagined from a flatbed. I haven’t until recently had the opportunity to play with this magnificent beast until recently but I am super impressed with speed and quality!
I took this opportunity to develop a bunch of random rolls of film that I have had laying about (Truthfully I have a large box of undeveloped film some dating back to 2001) and I feel I should share.
This is from a trip to Tofino in 2009 (where we recorded the Tofino sessions)
Mikala & I
Lately I find myself doing a lot more music wise then I do photo wise (not to say that I am going to become a jerk with a camera /guitar/banjo/microphone or anything anytime soon) In addition to playing in our increasingly inaccurately described folk rock duo My Friend Lisa (there are four of us now) I have found my self playing with Mikala on a fairly regular basis. I have also been working on a raunchy punk rock side project with my other awesome friend Jenna (whom you may remember from this video) called “The Stank“ All that & I have been recording a few demos for other people! All in all it has been rather busy on the music front these past months.
All the while I have been tring to live up to the camera part of my jerk with a camera name though, as such this is a polaroid from Wednesday of my friend Mikala manhandling Chester!
We were working on some new material but its not quite ready for the masses yet so I will leave you with a cover of the worlds best band EVAH!!!
Redscale Images from Tofino (well really Ucluelet)
