On the farm

This weekend I went up to see my dad and hang out on his neighbor’s dairy farm. I meant to burn up a few rolls of 120 in the Mamiya 645, but I didn’t load the film properly and got no shots. Yeah, I know. Lame! Thankfully, I had my DP1 along and TRA’s new Dirty Pictures Photoshop filter waiting for me at home.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the afternoon (with processing notes).

ESPN Cameraman

The other night I was looking for some free apps for my iPod Touch and found ESPN Cameraman. It’s a pretty cool game that’s really addictive. The game involves looking at two sports photos and pointing out the difference in each. It’s not as easy as it seems. I wish it had more photos and levels, but it’s fun nonetheless.
