CiroFlex

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

These next photos were ones that I double, even triple exposed because I had no clue what I was doing with the camera. There are some pretty cool shots that I got though.

And for the rest, I was able to figure out how to wind the film properly, but didn't really lock in the focus. I had a fun time shooting with this camera, and I'm very happy that the camera was able to capture an image. More posts will be made as I explore this new format.

There's Goo Everywhere

So it's been a while since I last uploaded anything onto this blog, but I feel like I should continue on with this thing that I started. I guess now's a good time as any to start up again. This week we went to a local punk show hosted by local band Goo Spot, along with a newer band Corporate America. Set up at a newer bar called Union in the middle of downtown Santa Barbara.  Here is a full library of what I shot The crowd was so energetic, all these kids amped up to hear the local favorites, or even new favorites, tear up the place with that fast and loud sound. Pits opened up, they were moshing, skanking, slam dancing, jumping off a barrel, It was a great time. The show was fun time, and talking to everyone and getting all these photos was an even better of a time. With the opening of Union in Santa Barbara, I hope that the grassroots music scene of Santa Barbara will continue to thrive.

Avo Fest Molcajete

Another Avo Fest in the books. This year was a lot of fun, the moment The Upbeat started playing the crowd lit up. The amount of crowd surfing was insane for a local avocado festival, but it's an Upbeat show so I shouldn't be surprised.  It was the 40th year of The Upbeat so this show was pretty special, and that's probably why the crowed was way more lively than last year. They played some classic songs from their discography like, "Farmah Man", "17 @ 17", "Sitting on Capital Hill", and my favorite "Olde Towne". If you've never listened to them before, you should definitely give them a listen, some of the best Ska you'll hear. Anyways, lets get to the photos. I was on the outskirts of the mosh pit at all times so I had to shelter my camera from getting bumped into for the entire show. This wasn't the biggest issue since I was using a cheap lens I like and a cheap flash. Nevertheless I was able to get 18 photos that I am h...

There's Goo Everywhere Again

We got another Goo Spot show! Held at the Carpinteria Skate Park, we had a full day of music, 5 bands played. Wren Hunt, Ding Mao, Beau James Wilding, Goo Spot, and Nardcore OG's Dr. Know ripped up the Carp Skate Park.  I do apologize for the lack in variety of photos I've captured though, with how wide my lens is, and the harsh backlighting, I found it pretty difficult to get some inspiring shots. But nonetheless, here's a full gallery of Goo Spot's set plus 2 shots from the Dr. Know set As always it's been a blast taking all these pictures, I hope I'll have some more pictures to share soon!
