Check out this very cool new magazine, FILMS AND GRAINS. I have five lo-fi SnapSights! fotos in it (including a few that are currently on display at the New House Gallery through February 18th). Lomo is go!

Couple things I want to note: First, Maliha, who’s solely in charge of the magazine, has wrangled together an amazing collection of talent from around the country. Second, this magazine embraces the new publishing paradigm! I love it! Print-on-demand magazines — no more overproduction, pulping, wasteful transport costs… Third, I have to thank Christine Zona and the SF Toy Camera Meetup Group for cluing me in to this new publication.

“Kill Your Darlings.”
Opening reception – Jan 28th, 6pm-8pm.

The Branson School, Ross, California

This is part one of an experiment with “masks.”  I’ve used transfer paper to lift a picture from a newspaper.  The transfer paper is then taped inside the camera body in front of the film, resulting in the newsprint picture superimposed on the negative.  In the above photo, the faces in the sky are all part of the mask.

Here’s a picture Christine took of my trusty Diana wearing a different sort of mask–an opaque puzzle cut-out.  You can see how it’s positioned inside the camera:

Thanks to SF Toy Camera meetup, and Christine Zona, for the lesson in mask making!

Just returned from a week in Death Valley.  Now it’s back to “life” in the city.
