Light & Dark

Half-Naked Family Statue

This is a statue in one of Arlington's city parks. I really have no idea what they're going for here. Yay babies, I guess?

Winter Darkness

Taken with the Holga using Portra 400 film--and edited just a bit with Flickr's online editing program.

Honeymoon, Part 12: Holga

This is the final honeymoon post. I'm not actually thrilled with the Holga pictures. I should've used film with a higher ISO. These are too dark. And then ones that have decent light have more light leaks than past rolls.  I guess I need to tape it up a little more.  Oh well.  I'll remember that next time.

Holga & Hiking

Cory and I went hiking at Cedar Ridge Nature Preserve a few weeks ago. It was a lovely day--but muddy! It had been raining a lot the last couple of weeks and the trail we chose to follow was pretty much a sludgy mess the whole way. I enjoyed trudging through the mud far less than I usually enjoy actually hiking, but it was still pretty out.



Even the trash cans were pretty. I took a couple of pictures of neon signs later that week. I really like this multiple exposure:

Winspear Opening

Cory and I went downtown a couple of weeks ago to check out the new Winspear Opera House and to see, as part of the opening celebration, a free (!) performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jaap van Zweden. It was a great performance, van Zweden is really fun to watch direct, and the new opera house looks pretty darn cool. Plus, it was free!

I took a couple of rolls of film on my Holga over the course of the day.

I posted a few more on my flickr page but these are my favorites.

Holga at the State Fair

I took my Holga camera to the state fair and shot my first roll ever on it there. I like a couple of the pictures quite a bit, but I can already see ways that I can improve future rolls.

These are my favorites of the day's shots:

I uploaded the whole roll to flickr (as evidence, I suppose?) even though I don't like all the shots.
