New Gear and Latest adVentures...

I had to sell my Nikon... it was a sad day, very sad indeed, but I still have my Canons. My eyes, however, have been opened to CHEAP toy cameras, like the Lomo Oktomat 35mm rediculousness and the Holga 120 cameras and of course my Nimslo 3D camera and all of the liberation from the norm they offer. I don't need to change my aperture and shutter speed for creative freedom, although, manual focus is awfully nice. I need cameras that offer a legitimate view of what I see in my head when I look at things, without a ton of Photoshop...

Those of you who know me well, I am obsessed with very primitive forms of photography and often shoot with vintage and antique cameras. I am also in love with the concept of alternative processing and home made negatives, using the sun to contact print along with various other ideas myself and others have come up with. So it should be no surprise that I've also been designing some cameras of my own... a large format with a skewed film plane is in the works and hopefully will be built this summer, a long with a few small cameras... one round one and if i can pull it off a sub minature. We shall see.

And then MOST IMPORTANTLY comes my photo booth obsession. I want to build one... In my living room. I want to use the Oktomat in it. My boyfriend is likely to come home one day and find the furniture has been replaced by a giant box to take pictures in... He does not see my vision here, but wouldn't it be grand?

Model Search... TFP

So, I've been wanting to do some Pin Up/ Boudior photography for quite some time. Something modern, alternative, perhaps, but still with that classic cheesecake style... Let me know if you are interested in modeling for me. This is strictly on a time for prints basis.
