I’ve been going richter with the picture-taking lately and haven’t been posting any of my photos here, so here’s some of my faves from the last few weeks.

I picked up an old rangefinder camera called a Petri at the swap meet the other day. The lens is pretty soft. But sometimes it does some cool stuff. I like this first picture mainly because it’s my favorite tree around here. It’s in Central Park.

I’m not sure what camera I used for this next one. I found an old roll of film I hadn’t developed yet. It had pictures of Daniel at the beach on it.

When I went to the swap meet a couple weekends ago, I took along my panoramic camera with the flipped lens. I love swap meet shots with this camera. Here’s a table of Barbies:

The Barbie gods

I love the guy lurking in the background of this one:

waiting for a home

I also took that camera to the cemetery on Halloween:

Another camera I got at the swap meet is an old Spartus TLR. Here’s a few pics with it, taken at Central Park:

These were taken with a little plastic Vivitar camera. This is one of the drainage ditches in Huntington Beach:

    My favorite is the fence. I think it’s because I like nature shots and fences. Too logical? ;)

    I like the fence too, but I tend to gravitate towards vanishing points.

    that spartus looks great. is it a real tlr or just one that’s made to look like one? that scientology shot just creeps me out.

    Ooooh you’re right. It’s a pseudo TLR. Didn’t realize there were such things.
