I Take a Da Picture

 So the X-Games is going on in Ventura, CA this year so I thought this would be the best chance to get some pics of people in downtown Ventura because it will be so lively. I went down with my homie Jakob on Thursday because a local skate shop was holding a "Junk Jam" right in the center of downtown Ventura. There was hella people there watching the locals and some professionals rip down the hill in front of the city hall where a bunch of obstacles were set up. They had ramps, flat rails, a stage with a couple stair sets and a hubba, all leading down to 2 half pipes with a channel in-between at the bottom of the hill. The event was rad as hell, music playing, people cheering, and skaters ripping up the streets.

So to continue with the "Santa Barbara Streets" series, here are some more pics that are more in line of what I shoot when it comes to taking pictures of things and not people. If you haven't noticed, I put quotations around the "Streets" in the title, mainly because some of the pictures I took are at the beach or at Sterns Warf in Santa Barbara. Got a variety of pictures here so I hope you enjoy them.

 A fun little part 2 to my previous post of the same name. I bought a zoom lens at the thrift store recently and was really excited to take some candid portraits of people. It was definitely a really fun time using this cam. I was scared that people would be looking at me more often but people didn't seem to care. I'm really excited to use this lens more and more in my photography journey. Here are some of the pics that I took. There will be another post about some of my other pics that took with this lens.

I'm very excited about this post. Most of the pictures suck, but that's not the point of this post. I GOT MY FIRST ROLL OF MEDIUM FORMAT FILM BACK! I got an old CiroFlex Model D as part as a camera lot deal on facebook marketplace, and I was really excited to test it out. The camera itself wasn't in the best condition so I hesitated to use it. I did open it up to see if everything worked, and everything seemed to work, but it just wasn't in shooting condition. I should've just resold it to get some money back... I bought one in better condition off ebay. Poor financial decision but whatever, first medium format. So I went by my local lab and picked up a crisp fresh roll of 120 Tmax 100 and tossed it in the Ciroflex. First test roll just to see if the cam fully worked. Here are the results! These first pictures are pretty much the only pictures that I like, but its a test roll so I wasn't expecting anything awesome CiroFlex Model D - Kodak TMax 100 CiroFlex Model...
