Kodachrome

Alessandra — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 02:09:37 +0000

Dwayne’s Photo in Kansas stopped developing Kodachrome in December 2010. So I got some on ebay. Here are the results. The only photoshopping I did was dust removal.

These photos were taken around Detroit, Colorado, and Ann Arbor.

Badly scanned using an Epson Perfection v500 Flatbed Photo Scanner.

I’m excited to launch my new website. It actually works on all browsers and I’m happy with the way it looks. I’ll be updating the site more often now, and I plan on adding lots of stories of what I’m up to.

Please let me know what you think of the new site and please comment on any articles, photos, and stories!

You can now subscribe via email/RSS/facebook/twitter to keep updated!

I’ll also be adding some old photos that friends have been asking for for years. : )

First attempt at medium format

I used a mamiya RB67 and Kodak Portra. These looked much better when I had them printed (optically), at this old school place in Germany. The photos below were very crappily scanned in using an Epson Perfection v500 Flatbed Scanner, and they really don’t look as nice as the printed versions.

Ann Arbor and Surrounding Area – Film

Alessandra — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 01:30:36 +0000

I picked up my film camera again for the first time in 3 years and took some shots. Very crappily and crookedly scanned using an Epson Perfection v500.

I used a Nikon FE 35mm SLR Film Camera if you really have a burning desire to know. I also used my sunglasses as a filter on several of these photos. It didn’t really turn out; remind me to buy a yellow filter.

Detroit Zoo

We took a trip to the Zoo. First time I’d tried using my old Vivitar 85-210 mm lens with my Nikon D80. They came out reasonably well.

They look kind of stuffed to me

Maybe I should hit myself in the face with this?

Uhhhhh…
