Lomography World Congress - London

The Lomography World Congress London 2007
17 - 23 September

First and foremost, and without much ado:
This is your personal invitation to the 7th Lomography World Congress in London, United Kingdom, from the 17th to 23rd of September, 2007, and a call for you to be one of the creators of the greatest Lomographic exhibition of all times, to be on display just there - on the LomoWorldWall at Trafalgar Square in London.

AWESOME add for rare/hard to find film!

-=Diana's=- first exposures...

Shot 12 exposures but only 3 came out. Most of the shots were underexposed, shot inside a great, funky discount-supermarket in Pleasant Hill. Really disappointed they did not come out. But live and learn, right?

I am taking my first two rolls of 120, Fujichrome Velvia 100 that I shot on my Holga in for development tomorrow. Hmm, I should actually drive down to Dublin tonight and drop them off so they can develop them first thing in the morning. Otherwise it will be tomorrow afternoon before I even get there. Anxious to see how these come out.

I have been having an experience recently of being able to visualize Lomo-graphic images in my head while I am just out and about. One place I would love to do a documentary study with both hi-fi and lo-fi photography is supermarkets. The colors in these places, plus, the characters you find are just mind blowing. Have to find a way to become sneaky about getting these photos though. When I took the shots with the Diana last week it's pretty easy because no one gets freaked out by a big fancy camera.

Let's see, what else is there. Oh yeah, my Dualflex III arrived over the weekend. Now I have to create the attachment with which I will mount my DSLR to it so that I can shoot through the lens.

Oh and I shot another roll of 120 film (Ilford HP5 Plus ASA 400) in my Brownie Junior pinhole. Also figured out that I do not need to respool the film for 620 as I first thought I did. Took these shots outside on a cloudy day last week with very brief exposures (no longer than 2 seconds). So we will see if THESE come out...

Hope you are all well and enjoying life and creating images...

WPPD - April 30, 2007

F/250 pinhole, 2 second exposure in open window light.

These are the only two shots that came out that I shot with my new, Kodak 620 Brownie Junior pinhole camera. I shot a roll of Ilford FP4, ASA 125 B&W 120 film. I had to respool the 120 film onto a 620 spool before I could load it into the camera. Shooting in 620 only offers you 8 exposures. The other 6 exposures I shot were over-exposed. I used a conversion table that I found here which led me to believe that one of my exposures should be 17 minutes long and that another should be 5 minutes long. Nuh-unh!

This first shot I submitted to the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day website for it to be my record of participating in the event.






F/250 pinhole, 2 min 10 sec exposure in subdued light.



I am looking forward to more experimentation with this camera. It was very exciting to receive my shipment of film from B&H Photography in New York and loading the film into the camera (after respooling it) was even more exciting. I will probably set up a darkroom in my bathroom over the summer so that I can do developing and printing at home.

I also shot my first roll of 120 on my new, antique "Diana" camera this week. Unfortunately I bought slide film and not print film. A whole 5 pack of it. So getting prints of what I shot on that camera is going to be expensive. If anyone has any advice on what else I can do to get these images into my computer I'd be glad to hear. As it turns out, I did get this roll of film back today too and out of the 16 exposures that I shot only 4 came out. All the rest appeared to be under exposed. Many of the shots that I took were inside of a well lit grocery store but aparantly you really do have to set the settings on the camera appropriately.

And then today my new Holga CFN 120 arrived from Hong Kong. This is the model with the 4 colored filter flash, which is pretty freaky. Can't wait to see how these shots come out! I'll post some here but most I'll put on my Flickr account and I'm also going to set up a Lomo-Home at Lomographic Society International.

It's actually hard learning how to see in the fashion of the Lomo. Not knowing what your camera actually recorded until you see the prints, but even then, interpreting what is inside those images. A mysterious world it is...

Happy World Wide Pinhole Photography Day!!

Thank you Kirsten and Rob for turning me onto this whacky-fun art! I'll put a post up later showing you what I am using to participate in today's activities.

Clinical depression (also called major depressive disorder, or sometimes unipolar when compared with bipolar disorder or sometimes called manic depression]) is a state of intense sadness, melancholia or despair that has advanced to the point of being disruptive to an individual's social functioning and/or activities of daily living. Although a low mood or state of dejection that does not affect functioning is often colloquially referred to as depression, clinical depression is a clinical diagnosis and may be different from the everyday meaning of "being depressed." Many people identify the feeling of being depressed as "feeling sad for no reason", or "having no motivation to do anything." One suffering from depression may feel tired, sad, irritable, lazy, unmotivated, and apathetic. Clinical depression is generally acknowledged to be more serious than normal depressed feelings. It often leads to constant negative thinking and sometimes substance abuse.

Bipolar disorder, often referred to as manic-depression in the general literature, is a psychiatric condition defined by periods of extreme mood. These moods can occur on a spectrum ranging from debilitating depression to unbridled mania. Individuals suffering a bipolar disorder generally experience fluid states of mania, hypomania or what is referred to as a mixed states in concert with clinical depression. These clinical states typically alternate with a normal range of mood, which is termed euthymia. Bipolar disorder can range in severity from a mild annoyance to a serious lifelong disability.

There are many variations of this disorder. A person with bipolar disorder generally tends to experience more extreme states of mood than other people, even within the context of what might be considered "normal". Moods can change quickly (many times a day) or last for months. In psychiatric terms, this is called fast cycling or slow cycling, respectively. Bipolar individuals tend to have very 'black and white' thinking, where everything in life is either a positive aspect or a negative. Mood patterns of this nature are associated with distress and disruption, and a relatively high risk of suicide. Bipolar disorder is also associated with a variety of cognitive deficits, in particular, difficulty in organizing and planning. The disorder may also skew the ability to judge others' emotion, and alter sense of awareness.[1]

This guy doesn't supply details about his technical data, other than what is shown here. Great, moody images though!

clipped from www.flickr.com More abstract shit! Pin Hole Capture at dusk on a full moon night. Very long exposures. These ultra low-fi captures are cathartic works for me. They were all taken at dusk/night with a full moon in a fairly rural, very quiet, dark place. I slept there for the night, just me and my sleeping bag, the great grandmother moon, a bottle of port and the sounds and movements of nature all around me. The light was sublime and the trees and the reflection in the water created a calm, eerie and magical vibe. Also, that night I made friends with a heron! These shots encapsulate that night. Rough, raw, ambient, honest and for me, magical. Modern technology? BAH!!

Coastal Pinscapes -=found=-

I found this fella's pinhole photos while searching for some images to include in my slide show. His name is Zeb Andrews and he lives in Oregon. He has other sets of a variety of subjects he has shot with pinhole cameras.

He uses a Zero Image 6x9 Pinhole Camera for these shots.
