Winter Blues















So, these are from the same little blue plastic camera that I took the last set of pictures with. It was sold as a sort of disposable but re-fillable supercheap toy, but it has lasted me for years. I LOVE this camera. It feels like cheating a little, because for some reason it takes pretty good pictures. And I don't have to do anything! No light metering, no focusing, no settings. Just click, and it's done. Granted, it doesn't do well at night, or in weird lighting situations, but at midday, outside, it is totally reliable. Usually I use expired film in it, but this time I decided to try my "nice" film, Arista 100. I know, I know, that is not super awesome film either, but it is a heck of a lot nicer than expired colour film that costs 25 cents a roll. And I am very happy about the results, except that somewhere along the line I let my camera get very dirty and didn't catch that before I shot this roll of film. So, ignore all the UFO's and just enjoy the bleakness of the Southern Oregon winter, all right?
