Connecticut River Sunburst |
My plastic point and shoot panoramic film camera continues to surprise and delight me. Look at this flare! Above and below are the full frame 35mm scans.

Graduation |
Along with these unplanned gifts, I am divining how inaccurate the viewfinder is:

Sliver of the Future Now |
I meant to include more of the solar panels lining this Cambridge, MA shopping center roof. Yet I find this result better than my intention. I later cropped off some of the sky.

"You Can Do It" |
I had the camera in my pocket as I sat on stage with other faculty members during graduation at
Hallmark Institute of Photography. While I love the grainy, funky, unpredictable results when making art, documenting 75 year old photographic legend Douglas Kirkland in harsh lighting conditions fell short of the quality I wanted.
"A series of small steps," is how Mr. Kirkland explained his successful career trajectory.
Tech Tips: Ansco Pix Panorama camera, Kodak UltraMax 800 film, no settings to set, film processed and scanned at Walgreens.

The other day in a thrift shop I came across a panoramic camera that is probably similar. Trims the 35 neg down, rather than exposing on a bigger section of film. I toyed with the idea of picking it up, but even at a couple of dollars I decided I'd never use it. But that sun-flare thing - I might have to go back and see if it's still there, just to give that a whirl! Very cool!
Go get it! Sounds very similar, mine a thrift store special, too. I just checked your blog - love the dreamy flip lens work. Thanks.
