Dead lights!!!!!!



Taken with a Pentax K1000 with Lomography redscale film.

Dead Lights is an amazing local band. They describe themselves as Gloom punk. I've tried to come up with a way to describe their sound, the best I can say is it reminds me of some early hardcore punk band playing shoe gaze. I've seen them play twice so far and I have been blown away each time.

On a sad note I took half a roll of film of them playing but I'm still trying to figure out how my stupid flash works. So most of the shots were major photo fails. Oh well you lose some...

Pinhole photography.


Taken with a Diana camera converted to a pinhole, on Ilford's HP5 film

So I had this wonderful original Diana camera that my camera dealer sold to me for a very reasonable price and for awhile it was my favorite camera. Then one sad day it gave up the ghost. I was able to convert it to a pinhole camera but I seem to be having trouble getting the pinhole size right. I'll keep farting around with it to see what I can do.

Montreal Metro


Montreal is a beautiful city, but shooting street photography is very difficult as there are strict laws about taking pictures in the street. Basically you can't show faces

Taken with a Mamiya 645.
This is an example of Lomograpgy's B&W 100 film. I don't know who manufactures it or where it comes from and the film has no label. I've had wildly diverging results from this film. Sometimes it beautiful and other times it looks faulty with a strange pattern and even the number from the paper backing showing through.
