You may remember my post about Found Art, and since then I’ve been on the lookout for found items.
12-19-14 Why I decided to return my Beautiful Black Rollei 35 Travel Camera
I’m FINALLY getting around to explaining why, after all my research, I decided to return my awesome mobile Rollei 35 travel camera. It was a beautiful machine, the black version.
It’s a totally portable 35mm film travel camera and amazing small. I was really excited to get it. However, after shooting two test rolls of film, I discovered it has it’s drawbacks…

Now that I’ve returned my Nikon FE (I’ll write about that soon), I’ve delved into my research of Rollei 35 “compact” or “sub compact” cameras.
Here’s a good discussion about the Rollei 35 on Flickr.
9-18-14 Finally, a 35mm camera!
I’m totally psyched to be gearing up to shoot 35mm film again! It seems like a lifetime ago when I was using real film to shoot photos. But, I’ve been thinking about shooting film for a long time now. Especially since the more technology is speeding up, the more it’s drawing on looks of the past (Instagram, Photoshop plugins, etc.).
8mm film is AWESOME, so remember to use it if possible!
After reading this article on the bbc.com on shooting celluloid film, and in particular 8mm film, I went fishing. Look at the great links I caught:
An awesome organization based in Brooklyn, teaching celluloid filmmaking:
www.mononoawarefilm.com
And here’s a list of 8mm film resources in New York City:
www.brooklynvitagraph.com
That got me thinking about what it costs to shoot 8mm film in New York City. I think these guys may have the best pricing around. They also sell cameras and film. I’ll have to stop by their showroom:
www.duallcamera.com
And this is a place in LA that’s all about 8mm film/cameras/education:
www.pro8mm.com
Happy shooting!
