Got a hair up my ass and decided to take iPhone photos of my low-fi cameras.

Tool - Lomo Supersampler (This is my second one. The first was black rubber, which was infinitely cooler… But, alas, the pullcord winder kicked the bucket.)

Got a hair up my ass and decided to take iPhone photos of my low-fi cameras.

Tool - Woca 120GF which is basically a Holga with a glass lens and built-in flash. I have it set up to shoot 35mm. I did have my polaroid back on it for a while, but decided I wanted that on a camera with a hotshoe and bulb setting. And, besides, I only have a couple packs of type 80 film left, so that back is going to be retiring soon.

I am currently loving this camera. A lot. Besides, it’s so tiny and light, it’s the perfect companion day-to-day.

Got a hair up my ass and decided to take iPhone photos of my low-fi cameras.

Tool - Leica 3, circa 1932
This camera belonged to my father. He somehow taught me to use a rangefinder and then let me take it on a fourth grade field trip to Sacramento. Wonder where those photos are now?

Got a hair up my ass and decided to take iPhone photos of my low-fi cameras.

Tool - Ansco Shur-Flash

I don’t recall where I acquired this camera as it was sitting on a shelf collecting dust for years. A couple weeks ago, I took it apart, cleaned it, filed the aperture to increase its size, subsequently broke the shutter mechanism, then miraculously fixed it. (I felt awfully proud!) I took the camera along on my walkabout with Mr. Goedde and plan to use it more.

I have had a Flickr account for a while and use it to post samples from my fetish/erotic shoots. To be extra certain I didn’t violate any site rules (I’m shell-shocked from losing accounts on various other sites), I set my whole stream as “unsafe”. Once I started posting my non-adult images, I wanted to be able to have them visible to everyone, but was no longer able to change my safety rating. That meant I couldn’t add my images to the various groups, nor could people see them without logging in and proving their age. So, long story long, I set up another account today that’s permanently set to safe. Yay!

WITTINESS THE SEX AND ART OF VAN DARKHOLME AT MR S

FP EDGE and Mr. S would like to take you on a private journey through submission, restraint and ultimately freedom with the artwork of Van Darkholme. Join us for a sensational collection of photographs filled with roped and tied, strung up or suspended men - muscles strain, veins bulge, sweat glistens, men held captive in precarious positions submit in quivering pleasure-pain to their master’s desires. Intense, brilliant and dark, these powerful visions of consensual domination are captured in exquisite and compassionate detail. Bondage devotees, photography / art collectors and admirers of the male form will find this volume a great addition to their collections. Witness of Sex and Art meld at the opening reception on October 9, 7-9pm. We invite you to enjoy refreshments, kinky company, peruse the sex toys and revel in the inherent beauty in Darkholme’s male bondage photography.
