It’s about time I updated this photoblog. I got this alarm clock at a op-shop (thrift store) years ago. It was sitting in the window calling to me. I love retro things like this, I particularly like the little Sputnik second hand that cheerfully travels around the clock face. Anyone who has watched a bizarre but clever action movie called “Crank” (starring Jason Statham) might have seen a clock just like this one make a cameo appearance!     Camera: Diana + [pinhole aperture] Film: I really don’t remember (and am way too tired to look through my negatives)

After uploading some software ‘analouge emulation’ images I thought we should get back to some actual real images (in the sense that the photo exists in tangible physical form,  either as a negative or print as compared with 0′s and 1′s of binary data storage) This particular image was captured in my brother’s study (he really does have some interesting books, objects and miscellaneous stuff). I had the Holga Pinhole Camera (with Polaroid back) on a tripod and triggered my hand held flash unit about a gazillion times (no science involved, I just kept triggering it until I thought I had ‘about enough light’ to make an image) This post is a test of the WordPress application for the android t-touch tablet I have been provided with (by Telstra) for the purpose of review. I’m running it through it’s paces and will have a full review (in video and written form) up sometime next week, for those curious.

Camera: Diana + pinhole aperture Film: Can’t remember!

Here is an interesting photograph from a couple of years ago. It was taken on WPPD (World Pinhole Photography Day) as part of a series of pinhole Rose captures. I used a Holga converted to a pinhole camera, with a Polaroid back attached. The Roe in thi instance turned out looking very 2-dimensional as opposed to other shots I took of it. I quite like the abstract feel it gives to this simple subject.

This shot may be rather dark, but I kind of like it a lot, being surreal and headless, something I often think the direction of my life has been. Only joking, I know where I’m going and what I’m doing, for sure! (Is this my beautiful Wife? ..and my beautiful House? How did I get here?) Ha!

*please note: This photo was originally uploaded on Nov 27 2007 so the initial comments accompanying this image are from when it was first published on the ‘old’ plasticlens site. Feel free to add more, call me a weirdo or whatever if the mood strikes you!

I am continuing to rebuild theplasticlens photo gallery after having major server problems with the old one. I have uploaded some images and assigned them the date they were uploaded on the ‘original site’ and have been manually reposting all comments made (including links back to the commenters sites if they had any) ~ it’s a time consuming job. Occasionally (like now) I will post an old item afresh, because I hope people who haven’t seen these photos might appreciate them. So if you see comments that were posted seemingly prior to an image posting date, it is because it has been reposted with the previous comments attached. Originally posted in April 2008 here is my original text entry for this image:

It’s the day after worldwide pinhole photography day and I have had the roll from my Zero Image 2000 developed by our friendly local (relatively local) lab! This is one from reasonably late in the day, taken against the backdrop of our kitchen wall. It’s the old dead rose thing again, but I like the lighting in this one, a lot. About a 3 minute exposure here, with makeshift illumination. I have still to finish the Diana + roll, but have some Polaroid Pinholga shots to scan, so you may see some of them too. I hope everyone had a productive pinhole day – if you would like to see how the family helped me spend this years pinhole day look at World Pinhole Day Family Fun, a Short Video
