The lost bubbles

Riverside Park, NYC

Why yes, we have containers of nitrogen on the corner of most streets... why do you ask?

My friend and I still don't know the reasoning behind this.

But she did tell me a story about her friends having a liquid nitrogen party. Sounded awesome.

Magnolia Bakery

I took one camera (!) to NYC and that was my film SLR. Yep, I only shot on film while I was there.

The first day started out right with wandering around midtown and eating cupcakes for mid-morning treat. Magnolia Bakery had a Magic Kingdom-esque feel to it. We had fun.

Milwaukee Public Market

Reminds me of the Ferry Building in SF.

Awesome people

Here is a picture of all the cool cats from Film Is Not Dead Version 2.0.

Version 3.0 is in San Francisco!!

Rainbow Umbrella - Film

NO-AD - Film

Sleeping Beach Bum -Film

Sweetie boy.

Florida- Film

Nauvoo - Film

From that very cold, snowy trip back in February that was too much fun.

1) These are straight from camera.

2) I had never used one of my lenses with film before, and discovered it's a bit of a wide angle lens on a non-DSLR camera :)

I heart film.

I got a bunch of film back and am scanning it in. This was taken back in December at Alterra.

Cake Wrecks

If you haven't already discovered this blog, I highly recommend it for a good laugh every now and again. Megan introduced it to me and we laughed pretty hard. The commentary is the best part.

So go and laugh.

International Center of Photography

Among our explorations in NYC was a stop at the ICP because this year they are focusing on fashion photography. The exhibit going on right now is of Edward Steichen's work.

It was of his fashion photography of models and celebrities from the 1920-30's. And it was stunning.

The above picture is of Gary Cooper, in case you were wondering.

(PS: You pay what you want at this place and other museums in NYC on Friday nights after 5 pm. So that's what we did.)

"Where are you going?"

A kinda warm Sunday playing with medium format cameras.

Above: taken on Yashica Mat -124G.

Below: taken on my Holga that would only let me wind the film with the back cover partially open... hence the major light leaks.

It was near impossible to keep him on the patio. As he would walk away from me, I'd ask, "Where are you going baby?" To which he would respond. "ZZ's." (that's Aunt L who lives 30 miles away).

That being said, it was really near impossible for him to hold still and look at me as I tried to focus and snap a picture.

Holga + Flash

I got home from NYC on Saturday. It was a fun trip. I shot only film while I was there, so pictures and stories will be later.

I also got a bunch of film developed from the last few months. Here are some Holga's from a dance back in February. This is the first time I've used a Holga indoors.

Happy Easter

It's Easter. What a blessed celebration.

Read the First Presidency Message of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ here.

Draper Temple

It was dedicated while I was in Utah and I got to watch the broadcast of the dedication.

I believe that brings the Temple count to 129 worldwide - from Chicago to London to Africa to Hong Kong and so forth.

I love to see the Temple.

NYC

I'm headed out again. Remember our family history and NYC?

Utah Adventure: Day 5 - Emerald Pools

This little kid was such a boy. Good thing is shirt is off, but his shoes are still on.
