the vibe from this is lovely, very grunge and haunting in a way.

this turned out great... good composition, and i've always been fascinated with expired film -- feels like the picture contains two stories -- one of the shot itself and another contributed by the history of the film -- and all that metaphysical nonsense

Thanks!
I like the idea of the history of the film itself.

I always wonder what the film would have shown me if it was younger/older.

That gives me a quantum mechanics/existential idea... based on how everything is connected and affects each other, I shall grab a few rolls of identical but almost-expired film and project intense joy or sadness or anger to the assigned roll whenever I feel those emotions... and take photographs with them in 5 years time to see what (if any) differences there are between them.

Hmm maybe i'm just nuts.

That's an incredible idea!!
Would you take the same photos on each of the films? Or am I thinking about this too much like a science experiment?

I like the way your brain works.

lol... u know what, that's exactly what I was thinking when i had the idea... but didn't mention becos i thought it was too geeky

and i think polaroid film would be the way to go... there's just something about the instant capture of a photographic moment about the polaroid that makes it very attractive for this experiment -- subject, light thru lens, light on paper, chemical reaction, photograph... mmmm, watching reality develop itself would be a turn-on.

another krazy idea. I'm gonna learn pinhole photography and use it as the method of choice... Light, thru hole, onto paper. viola. Capturing reality... capturing two realities, at the same time! Woah it's gonna be so cool.

u should see "What the *bleep* Down the rabbit hole" if u haven't done so already

CatchMe-22 In reply to mandapants [2007-09-03 08:39:29 +0000 UTC]

yep. It's not a great movie per se, but has a lot of interesting stuff in it concerning quantum mechanics, some related to the lil experiment I mentioned...

btw, what polaroid camera do u use?

mandapants In reply to CatchMe-22 [2007-09-03 23:07:11 +0000 UTC]

It's a spectra system camera.
I got it off ebay for around $15!

It was a particularly warm night.
I walked up to the shops in short sleeves. Not even a cardigan!!

I believe we're in for an early spring!

If I was face to face with you, I'd probably tell you this was 'utter top' or something in a British (with ONE T) accent.

I forgot about the letter. I've been so wrapped up in other things.

I'll be back in less than a month, though. Hopefully.

I thought so,
I was hanging out the front of my apartment with a friend, watching for his cab and I was leaning over the balcony and saw the shadow. I thought it was beautiful so I ran inside for my camera!!

Ettalong, duh!

I'm staying with my old housemate. I'm going to go watch her lawn bowls championship tomorrow!!
Gonna start drinking beers in the sun at 11am
Then we're gonna drink a bottle of rum and lounge room dance like fat pandas.
Then we might paint.

Hhaha. one time we got so drunk we drew all over the walls of her studio with black ink.
We woke up the next morning, throbbing headaches and covered in ink.
We went into the studio and it looked like a mental patients cell.

Took us all morning to scrub it off! haha
