    Liminal Moments on Film

    One of the two 110 film cameras I have (the Diana Baby being the other one) is a Concord 110 EF, much like the Neon Lites one in this link. It’s the first camera I had as a kid and was a Christmas present from my grandmother, I believe. Someday I will flip through my photo albums to see what kind of photos I took with it back in the day, though I have an inkling of what some of them look like based on memory. While this camera does not shoot great photos, as evidenced above, at least my technique has improved over the years! Shooting on film, and…

    Guadalupe River State Park on Film – November 2024

    All photos above were shot on a Minolta XG-1 on expired Kodak Gold 200 35mm film. All photos above were shot on a Minolta XG-1 on expired Kodak GC 400-8 35mm film. To continue from my last post, here are photos from other rolls of film I recently had developed. These two are from expired 35mm film and I really love the outcome for both. It’s giving “looks like 1975” but in reality it was 2024. The Montezuma cypress along the river as well as the rock wall on the river provide excellent backdrops for photography, whether on film or digital. Since we have typically gone to this state park…

    The Galapagos on 110 Film

    I recently had some film developed that I’d had sitting around for the last year and a half. I had forgotten I had shot an entire roll of 110 film on my Diana Baby toy camera when we were in the Galapagos in July 2024 so these were a fun treat to see when I scanned the negatives. The film was Color Tiger 110 ISO 200 from Lomography. Getting the film developed has renewed my interest to shoot more film so I’ll be trying to do more of that this year. I also need to see if I can find a local developer to develop my film instead of shipping…

    Diana Baby 110 Toy Camera | Fun with Film #1

    After Christmas in 2019 I bought some 110 film from Lomography, one of the few places you can buy 110 film these days other than old expired rolls off of Ebay or Etsy, and also a toy camera, the Diana Baby 110. I also had a pink Concord 110 camera from childhood and wanted to take photos with it as well. And so the last 2.5 years I’ve been shooting a photo or two at a time on them. I’m unsure what exactly happened with this photo, I thought perhaps it was supposed to be a double exposure but it looks like half the film is from one photo and…
