dehara yukinori, take two

so i finally managed to get some new pieces, then get them down to one of my favorite indoor locations to shoot and THEN wait for film to come back from the developers.  (i'll admit that i did start looking at digital slr's, but once i got these back... i remembered why i love film so much!)

here are the quick highlights... will have to pig through the rest of the rolls to see what other gems i may have hidden in there.


cheers!

random rolls of film

it's no excuse to NOT shoot, but i just find it hard to take photos during the winter. (or at least anything outside... there's no excuse if you're shooting indoors.) anyway, one of the few fun things about the winter is that i start digging through unprocessed (and often unmarked) rolls of film.

most of the stuff is crap and i know it, hence the never getting it developed, though some of it is experimental stuff that i put aside and promptly forgot about. either way, i'll often find a few interesting captures... enough to pass the time until i decide it's time to get back outside and start shooting again. (or find a suitable indoors shoot. =p)

these are a couple SERIOUSLY out of focus images from a roll i shot from the inner loop platforms around chicago. i was using a zorki 3, which is an old leica rangefinder knockoff, so there's no through-the-lens viewfinding, and all focusing is guesswork because i don't have an accessory rangefinder to set my distances right.


cheers!

dehara yukinori

i'm not sure when i first saw dehara's work, but i remember finding one of his paperclay sculptures for sale... and i was hooked. these things are amazing, full of personality and simply wonderful to hold and examine up-close. i have a total of four figures so far, and i can't wait to find my next one.

also, first post of the new year! hooray! =p


cheers!
