What a great series, Buddy! We forget how simple it is, fundamentally.
Cool stuff. It got me looking at film for a couple old cameras I have sitting around. They are very basic ones, but it might be fun to try out. I have an old Kodak Dualflex that I have never shot. I'd have to check and see if the 120 developing places will take film on a 620 spool (or, I could buy 120, respool it to 620, then spool it back to 120 if I was careful).
Nice shots, I like the self-portrait especially. (You must be taller than this tiki torch to ride this backyard…) Then again, the incredible wardrobe choice of Chris is hard to not be taken in by. Yep, the Brownie lends a different feel to simple snapshots. Although there are perhaps too many light leaks for comfort, that's still something you never get with digital. All the artifacts contribute to the end result. It's an effect, but not quite as extreme as say a Holga or Type 55 Polaroid with all the edge funk intact. I may have to get myself some kind of hand-holdable film camera one of these days. I might be able to score a Crown Graphic from a guy at work. I don't know what kind of condition it's in, though.
Seems to me the smiles are a little broader and more relaxed - as if when you are being photographed it's less intimidating when the photographer is holding an old black box with a small hole in the front.
Flashbulbs??!!Wow, that's pretty determined Great shots there, I hope the Ravers like them too. How did you actually light and shoot the negatives though?
