my favorite 135 film from this past year.

um... yes please.

"Tears on Tape’ is going to be really organic, straight-in-your-face, super melancholy bulls— [Laughs]. It’s going to be something nobody’s heard before. I’m really happy about it. It sounds great. Remember the soundtrack for ‘Twin Peaks’ that Angelo Badalamenti did? It’s got that similar forlorn, melancholy quality but mixed up with Motörhead. That’s where we’re at! We’re really happy. It’s got that dreamlike quality. It’s like Roy Orbison meeting Metallica."

Nikkormat camera, part 3/3.

These three posts below are photos from a test film i used in my grandfathers SLR camera (Nikkormat FT, manufactured in Japan in the 1960's!). I had no idea what to expect, and i had to force myself to learn the mechanics of it, i think i pulled it off good, considering most of these photos look like they're supposed to..! sometimes a bit blurry, but i couldnt hold the camera still. The shutter sound is amazing. I'm quite smitten by this one. I carried this heavy and lovely camera around in october.. and here are the photos..

This is what stardust HQ looks like in the universe i imagine.
 I recently disvocered that there is an Observatory in this town, i am soo excited to go.

about film.

After walking through this djungle that is film, some films work better with certain cameras. it's the combination of film and camera that is the most important, i've discovered. kodacolor in a holga 135 works great in the winter, kodacolor in my minolta in the summer, not so much. I'm finally at the end of this try-out period, and I've found my favorite combinations. it is all so much fun. My favorite films, so far, are portra 160NC and ektar, both by kodak.
