New film from Lofico..
Just ordered a bunch of film from lofico for my 120mm and 35mm cameras.
I love the look you can get on Film and from no where else. The 120mm gives such nice depth and feel. The 35mm has such a natural grain and tone.
Can't wait to get my new Film!!

Larry Clark..... TULSA
I have picked a few books to do some write ups on and thought I would start with one from probably the most "Accidental" photographers of our time Larry Clark.
In his photo book Tulsa Larry Clark shows a side of the world that we only could imagine, and still never understand. He spent 3 years of shooting up with his friends when he was 16, and managed to get away from it all. But from the last line in the cover blurb "Once the needle goes in it never comes out" we all wonder if "the feel of the steel" ever left him.
He was close to a life and people that, unbeknownst to them, were being photographed and recorded in a period of life that could be best under-described as "Turbulent". He is close to people and actions that we could never see in our circle of friends. There is an inherent danger in every photo, as well as a sadness that ebbs and flows from image to image.
It's such a sad book, with it's photo of a soon to be mother injecting Amphetamines and later seeing said baby in a coffin just clobbers you in the head with reality. The picture of a doe eyed boy acting as tourniquet for another shooter. The picture of a man laying in bed with a woman crying next to him after he was accidentally shot in the thigh. These images haunt and grow in your mind and you backwards and forwards through them asking yourself if they are real or not.
Please take a look at Larry Clark's work and take a look at his book TULSA available through Amazon or you local book store.

Photo Shoots..... Busy Weekend...
Well today is a planning day...
I have 1 definite shoot for the weekend, but there is a pretty strong plan on a second. I have an Artistic Nude B&W Shoot with a friend of mine. I have planned a simple Still Life shoot as well.
I have also spent a fair amount of time in the the art studio getting some other Paste Up stuff ready. Things just take time and I can't wait to get it all moving..
So much to do, and so little time..

Metallic Paper..... OOHHHHHHHH YYYEEEAAAAHHHHHHH
Dropped off a couple of simple Black and Whites and a Color Urban Landscape to Bond Imaging for printing on Metallic Paper and WOW..
I have found a new friend in papers. These prints look FANTASTIC and has a lovely metallic sheen. I'm not convinced on the Color Prints, but the Black and Whites look SUPERB..
Now I'm thinking of shots to do that will take advantage of this wonderful paper and finish.

Lomo Photograph of Spink Street Gardenvale.
A night Black & White of Spink Street in Gardenvale Victoria. Taken on a Holga 120N using Neopan Across 100.
LOMO Photography.... Great Fun..
Well I dropped into Bond Imaging to day to pick up some prints of head shots I have done for a friend and realized my film was also ready to collect.
I had shot a roll of 120mm B&W film over a few weeks just as a fluff about, and DAM they look good. I really think they hold some odd feel and look. They have a tone and color that is second to none, and can't be reproduced in digital. It makes me realize why people are starting back to the "Old Ways" of photography. I plan on printing a few negatives on some Projector Plastic (acetate) and print them with Cyanotype (check out Alternative Photography for more information) .
Very glad I gave it a try, and plan on doing a little more with it. I will post a picture in the next day or so.
