{Postcard Outtakes}

December 13, 2013 9:49 am ⋅ 4 Comments ⋅

Back in May, I was asked by my friend Jason to pop up to Memphis for a little photo shoot. Jason is Director of Youth Ministry at Germantown United Methodist Church, and Sue is the Associate Director of Youth Ministry. They wanted to do a few photos for a postcard to send their students. We did some with my digital camera, and then I grabbed my Bronica ETRSi to snap a couple more. Their reaction was “Whoa! What is THAT camera?!” My big ole 645 camera, that’s what!

{Just Married} Susan + Scott: The Bonus Photos

December 12, 2013 1:41 pm ⋅ Leave a Comment ⋅

Better late than never, I’ve finally gotten together a few film photos from Susan and Scott’s wedding!

This was my first time using my Bronica ETRSi at a wedding, and I think I will have to bring along an assistant to carry it next time I use it at a wedding! Since Susan is a fellow film photography enthusiast, I gave her a bit of a thrill when I let her hold the Bronica – though she’s so petite that the camera looked super-sized in her hands! She must not have found that to be a problem, because she got herself an ETRS not too long after 🙂

{January Pretties}

What you see here are vegan fresh blackberry pancakes I made back in January. I, of course, photographed the pancakes and posted the photo on Instagram. It’s what we do these days, right?  But I’m so glad I shot them on film too!  The REAL film “look” and shallow depth make this version oh-so-much prettier than the wannabe film filters any phone app can offer!

{January Ice}

Leave it to me to let a roll of film go undeveloped for far too long…

Until recently, I’d carried this roll of Ektar around in my purse since I shot it in January. It sort of fell by the wayside, and I always prioritized other rolls over it when I went to the photo lab.  At least I hadn’t forgotten what I’d photographed on the film this time though! I definitely knew it contained photos from the ice storm we experienced early this year. I just remember going out and shivering in the cold so I could document the layer of ice that had fallen the night before. I was afraid that my shivering would result in blurry photos. Not so!  I actually shot these with the idea that some of these things almost become abstract, depending upon how you approach photographing them. I hope that comes across in the final product. I think the results were quite pretty…
