Diffused

This roll reminded me that I need to start shooting cleaner. What's the point of taking a shot if I'm not going to pay attention to essential details like background and focus. Yeah, I'm getting the general aesthetic I want, but only at a thumbnail size.

For example, it would've been so easy to remove the books and other items on the shelf behind him. That would've improved the shot so much. Not to mention the fact that the focus is off.

I want

crisp
clean
simple
beautiful

shots!

Time to get on it.

Following up on an earlier post about Tasja; I developed and scanned my 120 rolls from Tasja's back yard, shot on Hasselblad 501cm with an 80mm lens.

Fuji Acros 120 film, 100 ISO

I'm in love with medium format film!

Today I borrowed Tasja's Rebel to take some shots of her in her backyard. I also shot a roll and a half on the Hasselbad I have checked out from school this week. It's Spring Break so I don't have to return it until next Monday - sweet. I'll post the film versions of these shots once I develop them.
