We wander into nothingness expecting something.....

 

Sometimes we wander into nothingness expecting something....

Another Holga shot. I quite like this one and it has a disappearing horizon and a strong path leading into oblivion....things I like to see in a photo.

I found a piece of broken glass and held it up to the lens of the Holga and clicked.

Sometimes you click and it works, and other times, you just click and wait for karma to wave her magic about for a nice photo to happen...

It's time to be quiet now so you can wander around and enjoy this nothingness.

We Are small


 Lake Roosevelt in Arizona.

When you think about Arizona, a big bridge over a lake with lots of water isn't what normally comes to mind.  But there is a lot of water in the eastern central part of the state.  it's almost a bit unsettling to see it all, but nice no less and there are Osprey and many water fowl and birds here.

It's a good spot to camp and relax and make lazy photos.


Three Holga shots lined up then stitched together. There were Ospreys screaming overhead. Beautiful!

Holbrook, Arizona


 Standing on the corner in...Holbrook, Arizona?

Another song back when music was understandable and clothes were not.

It's a cloudy day outside, so that means catching up on developing my backlog of road-trip films and then the dreaded scanning.  I have about 15 rolls of film to develop and scan, so my weekend is spoken for..but I do have time for cake if anyone is asking.


Holga 120S original with some film.

BTW- I love Holbrook Arizona. I've been five times in the past year just to drive through the painted desert, the petrified forest and hike the Blue Mesa trail....then get quesabirria tacos at a local taco joint in town. Magnifico!

Saguaro Welcome


East of Phoenix at a campground inhabited by large Saguaros that resemble people...somewhat.

Prickly arms welcome visitors....is that possible?

I know for certain they throw up their arms like this because it's an exclamation for "Ugh, this heat!"

Double Exposures, double life


 A double exposure with the Reality So Subtle pinhole camera at a creek that flows through the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado.

Not intentional, but always welcome because it humbles me to know mistakes are meaningful and show us things in different perspectives. Light. Shadow, blended into a mashup of what is there if we just look slowly.

We look at things all the time without considering that our retinas are just continually registering and filing images away. 

Walk, breathe, take your time.

Once Always

 

Once Always.....

I was reminded today of a past life that I had involving recreational drug use....and going through my pinhole archives I found this, which is kind of appropriate and reminds me of those days.
Vivid over saturated visions...
 
My use was not long or for any duration, but once you do it, you never forget it.
