i took this picture of my buddy with a zenit et. there's no story to it. he's good to take pictures off and i thought this would make an interesting one.

this is another holga picture. i shot this in paris. we stayed in this tiny apartment and the complex had a little courtyard surrounded by house walls. this was one of the house walls. i didn't find it to interesting until i tilted the camera and detached myself from the "usual" angle. the holga created a slight filmburn because it is quiet likely to "burn" your film in the camera if you drop it or one of the cheap clips that holds the back piece gets loose. you can actually create filmburns by taking the roll out after you took pictures and loosen the roll in your hand thus letting some light on the film for a split second. i shot this with a holga lomo camera. you roll the film manually after taking the picture so you can use double exposure and layer pictures. i like the holga because its a dui camera. the house on the left is my in-laws place and on the right you can see "bucky cuvington", a buck my father in law shot couple years ago. the red flowerish, filmburn lookin flare is actually the glass in the entrance door. i silmply rolled the film half way after taking the first picture, shot another one out the door, and than shot bucky after that.
i shot this picture with my zenit et. we we're at a lake in germany and my wife just got her new tattoo couple days earlier and couldn't really get it wet or sandy. she fell asleep from boredom and i took this picture. even though it was a really sunny day i used a low shutter to have her face in a soft blur and the tattoo and sand on her hand as sharp as possible. using the wrong shutter also gave the whole picture a hazy hue i guess. i took this picture with a lubitel 166b rollfilm camera. since you roll the film forward after each picture by hand you can experiment with multiple exposures. i took two pictures of my wife in a bad lid room looking to the right and down and i actually intended to only have her face on the picture but i forgot to roll the film forward to the next frame. that night i went out and tried to take a long time exposure from my balcony and ended up triple layering the picture. i like the result of that accident. i shot this on my second trip to new york with my girlfriend. this was the last day. we were dead broke. not even enough money to buy a pack of rolling tabacco. we spend the last hour, before we had to catch our bus back home, on time square. i found out that my d40 has a program that allows you to layer photos if you shoot them in raw format. so i put my cam on something for a makeshift tripod and took a couple pictures and layered these two.
i shot this picture with a old russian analog camera. a zenit et. the location is a abandoned military base in the town i grew up in. the whole facility is surrounded by 15 foot barbed wire fences and looks like a ghost town. the military left about a decade ago. there's a big school complete with old creepy swing sets, chemistry class labs, gymnasium and even an ice hockey rink. all the basements are flooded. all the windows bashed in. you'll find hobo sleeping nests with empty booze bottles and dirty mattresses. one summer long we took old doors, fire extinguishers, scrap metal and whatever else we could find and build a skatepark on one of the schoolyards. the next year the town decided to tear the whole decayed complex down and build a middle class apartment neighborhood. i shot this short series of pictures in berlin. random people on the street usually aren't to keen to have their picture taken by some stranger. so i strapped my camera around my neck and shot people walking by without them knowing. i did this all day. but i figured this is the only interesting bit i shot. you can see a mysterious guy in the first frame. his trench coat and suitcase only add more mysteriousness apart from the fact that i cut off his entire head shooting blindly with the camera dangling in front of my belly. he's approaching someone in the second frame handing something over and the third frame reveals a old gibsy lady playing the accordion begging for money. it actually was quiet crowded on the bridge when this happened. everybody just tried to stay as far away as possible from this gibsy.
