Category Archives: analog ambassador Last week R. was home sick with a fever and chest cold. After sitting in the house, sick myself, for a few days I needed to get out…and SURPRISE I had a model to ‘pose’ in my photos. No rest for the weary! If I let her sit all day she’d always want to…  Today ends my 365 days of Impossible film project. I wanted to quit many times. I over shot many days. I spent way too much money on film. I made many mistakes which ended in bad photos. I made many new friends. I looked back today at all the images and am with such joy… 4 comments Thank you. Wow – that’s awesome – well done! Thank you! Wow! Incredible, Kim. I would be proud to have these images as my 365. Bravo!  Last month the girls were invited to a birthday party at a roller rink, they’re first time on roller skates. I’m not sure how much time they spent skating where they were suppose to but they did well on the carpet. I spent the time taking pictures, using the Rolleiflex and 800 speed film. Thank… no comments  These images will not blow your socks off! But if these were a second batch of cookies, I think people would still enjoy eating them. A few weeks ago we took a drive North to Chris’ grandmothers farm, where he stores his boat motors. Normally, I would have stayed home, because as excited you… 1 comment Okay I have not used flash in about a year, so do you just use it on cloudy days. Looks like I might have to just use it since its dark all day here in Alaska at the moment. BOOOOO. Anyways I love these, especially the mysterious bike. Makes me think who rode that, where did they ride it to, how free they felt. Yea my brain rambles and creates stories lol. I am falling more and more with Holga every single post I see of others lovely images.  From my second roll of film using the Holga camera using Kodak E100ES film. This is the only picture from the entire roll to turned out. Must keep trying. A few months ago, I entered a contest to be an analog ambassador for Old School Photo Lab and I was one of the chosen photographers… 
5 comments Thank you for reading my site. I can’t wait to read how everyone else is doing with the Analog Ambassador, Old SChool Photo Lab has a wonderful team of people. We have similar film routines, I to pray a lot while learning to use film again. Very lovely blog, I am Melissa one of the other lucky chosen Ambassadors. Going to send my first roll in today and I am so nervous but very excited. I love your images the story they tell have a soulful feel to them. There is something about film I will always be deep in love with, actually there is everything about film I will always be in love with ; ) The shots on the set are absolutely fantastic! great eye! Thank you. What I really like about the toy camera’s is an image doesn’t have to be perfect to be perfect. It’s also how I feel about instant film. When I shoot digital I find myself over analyzing, over shooting, an over processing to get an end result I’m happy with. Analog and instant film has sort of cleansed those over-rated obsessions from me. I’m forced to focus on the story I want to tell with the image then let the rest be what it’s going to be. Like I said in the post, for me, it’s all a learning process. When I started shooting with Impossible project film, I burned through many boxes before really getting the hanged of how I need to adjust my settings. I feel this is no different; new camera, new film. I absolutely love that first black and white image. Perfect or not, it’s stunning. I’ve had a Holga for years and it’s always been rather hit or miss for me. Some images are fabulous and some aren’t. The last roll I got back (from Old School Photo Lab!) was terrible and I felt as you describe above. But I shall try again sometime and hope for better results. Part of my problem is that I don’t always THINK enough before I shoot and my composition seems totally off lately. Anyway, thanks for sharing you analog adventures with the Holga. Now I can’t wait to see the results of last rolls!
