Was playing around with the vinyls my dad owns that I had collected around the house to take some pictures. I think I picked out maybe fifteen or twenty from the lounge room alone and still haven't properly checked out the goodies that are up in the overhead closet but since it did take me a while just to set up these photographs right and I only managed to get three album covers I am going to need more practice. I have come to the conclusion that life for me would be a lot easier if I had a twin; that way I could take photos and she could model and we'd both be referees and share clothes...I'm having a lot of problems lining up the face on the vinyl so it fits my shoulders and neck position. But on the second try I got Frank Zappa to line up with my neck and I nailed it and it is my favourite photo from this set. Love my long black nails and my new Zara blouse which is ripping Prada off blind.
Very super excited when I realised when I had been moving around my imitation Miu Miu silk cat print pumps on the astronomy book; both of which I have been planning on using in two separate sets of photographs. Maybe in a combination together to create something very, very extremely hipster. The faded orange spine of the Astronomy book looks so good with the shades of my floorboards (which I recently cleaned so you can see them now) as well as the black silk of the shoes on the black background of the book. Was all a little too perfect.
Some of the photographs when they were developed look worse than the scanned film that I did up on the weekend but I have no idea what happened to the blue colour leak photograph at the bottom of this post since I haven't used a colour flash on this roll of film. Everything is a little vague and blurry but I love the photograph of my first Cocoa rabbit reaching up for a dandelion, the red balloon tangled in the haunted and bare branches of a tree in winter, the butterfly resting on a bed of blades of grass, my cameras sitting in a drawer at my desk at home, the roses at the very back of my yard that grew so tall and heavy they broke away from their trellis and the yellow daisies in our front yard outside the front door. Their all photographs of ordinary household things that mean a lot to me, but I think I should branch out and use a higher ISO film, the flash unit and have something exciting to photograph next.
First attempt in scanning 35mm film and it is a little bit of a shambles. These photographs have featured on this blog before but I had to take photographs of the developed results which I thought was pretty dodgy. Then when I saw how these came out I wondered what the hell went wrong... It's a little good for some of the brighter photographs where the colours are dominant and it looks like it has a vignette affect. Some of the others look awful and full, like there's a dominant sepia tone affect and nothing is bright and stands out. My Diana Mini and Canon A1 scanned film turned out a little better, with varying results.
