Blizzard

Fisheye fun! This was just a few days after I put my hands on the Lomo for the first time. Massive amounts of snow this winter, and I took every advantage I could (and was willing too). After some cheese and cocktails at my aunt's house (who conveniently lives across the street from me), I decided to forge through the storm to my doorstep. However, along the way, I stopped to take this photo. I had noticed the light fading fast outside the windows, and the image of this shot coming back from the lab just struck my mind. I immediately left (after goodbyes, of course) and readied the flash on my camera. I checked for traffic like, 6 times in each direction, cause the wind was howling, and I couldn't hear anything. Pointing the little device at myself in the middle of a snowstorm, in the middle of the street, any passerby would easily have thought i was crazy. The result was so worth it, though.

This shot is from my first roll of black and white, ever. It was expired by many years, and every (perfect) imperfection shows itself on the slide. The roll of film was from when my sister had just started shooting photos. With her first camera, a Canon Eos Rebel 2000 (which i religiously use), she bought a slew of film before we went to Yosemite National Park, in the summer of 2004. She must have only shot a few rolls, because over 6 years later, there were still 2 rolls left, which i hungrily (and carefully) devoured. I had also had a shot like this is mind, and once the setting was found, BOOM. Carefully planned and executed, this shot came out perfect.

My friend Danny, the model< is by far my favorite model ever. His facial expressions are always spot on to what I need, and he's never afraid or embarrassed to pose exactly how I need him.
