new name.

my blog is now named "it's fake of the lens technology!" because this is what my photographic genre is. but photography is just as much interpretation as the next art form. if you're conscious of it.




kodak porta natural color 120 (ASA 400)
new york, new york
march 2008

here is my first trial with color film in my new camera. i'm amazed by how nicely the photos turn out despite the camera being over 50 years old and not being too expensive. then again, a camera is a precision instrument (not a percussion instrument) and shouldn't break unless YOU break it. but i did buy it from a second hand shop above a shoestore in shinjuku, and it was the cheapest TLR in the place... anyway, i'm also pleased enough with my manual exposure skill so far. i sort of like color. sometimes. i just love shooting film.

the space alien of my dreams (reprise)

what is real and what is not?


here's a pet project i've had in photoshop for most of the day.

my first foray into lightmeterless manual-exposure TLR medium-format photography: where the rule of the day is "make every photograph look like it was taken in the 1950s."
