doo dun doot du

Super psyched about the fact that I will be debt free in 2 or 4 weeks *cross fingers. So many money memories come to mind. Some were good, some
bad, and some were in the threshold of dangerously bad. Like when I put a
$900 safety deposit on a 15mm fisheye lens and took it trekking up Indiana Dunes. All turned out well because I didn't lose the deposit, and the photos
turned out kick-ass.

♫ Here comes the sun (♫ doo dun doot du ♫) and I say, It's alright...♫

I used to be all "deep" about life and experimented on how otherworldly creatures might view our residence. I thought a combination of infrared film
and fisheye lens might do the trick.

The set turned out beautiful if I might say so. I feel that there's just enough eeriness looming over my prints to give it the "otherworldly" effect I wanted.

Back to finance, I really can't wait to be debt free and spend the rest of my life.

See the whole series here, and Shaka always.

  2. Very, very cool photos here! I have a few questions I'm hoping you could answer about these photos. First off, did you use the Canon FD mount 15mm fisheye lens for these shots? I just picked up this particular lens and I'm wondering about using its built in R1 ( 25a ) red filter for black and white IR film. I have plenty of experience shooting IR with a Hoya R72 filter, but none shooting with a standard red filter. What film did you shoot these photos on? Do you recall your aperture / exposure times? Any help you might be able to send my way would be greatly appreciated!

    Cheers,

    Patrick
