I found these lips painted on the side of a building in downtown Seattle. I liked the peeling paint. Another shot with my (cheap plastic) Holga on Kodak Portra 400 film.
Lips
The Backside of Buildings
This is downtown Seattle near the ferry terminal. The buildings are all facing 1st Avenue … I liked the fire escapes. This was taken with a Holga (a cheap plastic film camera) and Portra 400. The single element plastic lens (like the old Kodak Brownies) does okay in the middle of the image, but gets a little blurry as you go to the edges.
More Holga Shots
A couple more photos taken with my Holga. You can see the vignetting in the top photo in the upper corners. That comes from the lens being a single piece of plastic. The image below was taken in the downtown Seattle Library. It’s an amazing spot for taking photos.
Window Reflection
This was taken with a Holga: a cheap plastic camera that is today’s version of a Kodak Brownie.
I have also cropped a lot of the image, which made it even softer.
Just Watchin’ … Just Pickin’
I was going through old photos and found this one from back in ’72 or so. My friend was just playing his guitar in the park and enjoying the sun. The mounted patrol came by to make sure we weren’t smoking any illegal herbs. Why would he think that? He didn’t bother us, though.
