i-phone, 35mm and 120 medium format photographs

I love my i-phone for so many reasons, not least because it is what got me back into photography!  For me it will always be a fantastically beautiful little piece of technology that will have a place close to my heart and here I am using it above :-)  I have taken thousands of pictures on it (no exaggeration).

The shadow on the ground I thought was pretty, and rather than just photographing a pair of shoes I thought I would incorporate the shadow of a pair I was wearing! Then I wanted to use this as a chance to show my sister (who I know looks at this blog daily) to show her how much I love the Christmas present she got for me. It is the bestest of best presents she could have gotten, my very own camera bag which looks like a handbag!  I in fact now normally carry about 3-4 cameras at any one time and you would be none the wiser!

It even has a camera key fob!

I also love the imperfection of the pictures you can take on the i-phone which I try to take deliberately.

And if you had not already guessed, I am a complete photo junkie. I am obsessed with taking pictures but have moved back into taking pictures on film cameras and I have been experimenting with very expired film which definitely will not give perfection because the film is out of date and not stored properly, but that too for me is part of the fun in experimentation and these ones below I took using 35mm with a flash close up although the camera has a wide angle lens!

but see how the film has change colour and texture!

even when I used it on Dexter, Marvin and Carly...

or turn the flash on myself instead!

Yes I know that with film, I don't know if I have gotten the picture I wanted, but then again, with street photography you are not guaranteed that anyway and that it also a big thrill of it and yes I do appear to be a thrill seeker too, especially when I flash people!!!!

Then there is taking double exposure pictures on my Halina-Viceroy which is a fancy box brownie from at least 40 years ago which takes 120 medium format film....

 or using it to take a picture on film too slow to freeze motion!  I like to think I embrace imperfection as well as aspiring for perfection (ha, ha, ha)!!!
When I have a moment, think I will flop out in this chair which I think is perfection!  Have too much to do today however and if you pop over again in the next few days, all will be revealed......

....I will need the chair after it from laughing trust me!
