Here’s a collection of pretty fantastic photos of Hashima Island, Japan. It used to be a coal mining community until petroleum became the more sought after resource. By 1974 the entire island was completely abandoned. It has a fascinating history which is complimented quite well by this set of haunting photos. Check out the wiki page here if you want to read more.
Here’s a few more from the Grounds for Sculpture. All the same settings as the ones from the other day.
Today I’m heading to the River Horse Brewing Co. Octoberfest in Lamberville, NJ! I think I just may take the old SLR along for the ride. Yeah. I think I just may.
I visited the Grounds for Sculpture last weekend. Super fun time, I suggest you check it out if you ever have the chance. Like I mentioned in a previous post I inadvertently left my camera at home so all I had with me was my iPhone. As punishment I limited myself to only using the Hornbecker lens with the Nike AO DLX black & white film. I was happy with a lot of the results. And yes that skull is part of a sculpture. A very, very creepy sculpture.
Just what the title says. I’ll add that my favorite (though it’s hard to chose just one) is number 13.
Holga photos! Just like I didn’t promise!
There are a lot of bikes in New York City. Some of them are not broken. Here are 5 of them, broken & not.
Somehow I got a great fade to black on this picture. I’m not exactly sure how it happened since it was pretty bright outside but that’s what’s fun about hipstamatic. Sometimes you get surprised.
Just going through some old photo’s on my machine and found these from when I first got my Holga. Naturally I took it took a junkyard in upstate NY to experiment with it. Wouldn’t you have? I thought so. My favorite is the photo of the bus with the bullet hole in the back window. I really like the reflection of the sky in that one.
