Christmas Portrait Mike

This is an overexposed image of Xander shot on tri-x 320 using my 4x5. I sent this out to be processed and scanned the negative with my Epson V700.

You can read the rest of my blog post here; I'm really excited to use this camera and lens for more portraits :)

Xander B loves bubble baths!

Mike gifted me a few packs of Impossible Project film for Christmas. I've been using it in my SX-70 with unpredictable results. Most of the slides are a blobby mish mosh and some have small sections that were exposed but the rest is the blobby mish mosh. The filter that is suggested for use with an SX-70 doesn't want to stay put and one exposure will be fine while another exposure of the same subject/lighting/etc...is just a mess. Last year we had the same problem and I think we were hoping the film would be more stable after letting a year pass, but out of 3 packs of film I have maybe 5 shots that are useable. Sad. I think we will be buying Fugi in the future. In all honesty I'm not sure why we haven't been buying Fugi from the get go....

I do love this shot, it's a little flat but I don't mind. Xander reminds me of some sort of human/algae eater mutant :)

Xander and I spent Thanksgiving in Kentucky. This was taken during the one sunny non-rainy day we had while there. We played with the dogs in the creek behind my Grandmother's house. We found lots of cool fossils and tiny water creatures.
