rooftop show
This past weekend PRY hosted a totally DIY rooftop show with support from Many Shining Windows. I was already planning on being in attendance when my friend Amara (vox/bass for PRY) reached out and asked if i could shoot film photos of the show which gave me even more excitement to be at the show! M.S.W. opened up the evening and really set the perfect tone and vibe for the evening. Shortly after PRY played an epic set! There were two different people filming the show on thier Hi-8 cameras and I was shooting film all night it kind of felt like we were in some 90’s and 2024 hybrid! The last two pics are medium format shot on Ilford XP2. Everything else is Fuji 200
NOT YOUR THRASHERS cdmx Trip
Last spring, after a very successful skate trip to Barcelona, the gang decided the next trip we would go to the motherland, CDMX! Being Mexican I was incredibly excited to go on a skate trip in the country where my roots come from. I brought with me only 3 film cameras and one video camera for this trip and I know that sounds excessive but this was me holding back lol. Three cameras quickly turned into two cameras as one day in, my XAs battery gave out and I did not have a spare. Luckily I also brought my Canon Rebel G w a few lenes along side my Mamiya C330 for the medium format photos (of which i only snapped a handful of photos on) So anyway, down below is the video I made for this trip and if you scroll just a bit more, there are a ton of photos from the trip.
p.s. we totally planned our trip before Miles Silvas won SOTY. Urban legend has it he overheard our idea to go and stole it!!
CANON AE 1 PROGRAM
Last week one of the owners of the photolab I work at was slandering the good name of the Canon AE-1. In spite of him I loaded a roll into my Canon AE-1 Program, the very first camera I purchased!
The roll starts testing out this 135mm lens on my friend Josh doing an ollie over this white barrier and if you can look past the missed focus, i think this first real test came out good!
Everything else was shot with the FD mount nifty fifty and boy is that lens nifty! I mean just look at this pic of my friend Shauny on 4/20, nice and sharp but also beautifully soft at the same time!
It recently occurred to me that you can mount a LED video light on to the hot shoe of your film camera and use it in place of a flash! Obviously this is not the most practical use of this and whilst I was taking these photos i was not sure if the light was even going to be bright enough for a properly exposed film negative. To my surprise it worked really well! You do, however have to make sure its okay to blind whoever is on the other side of the lens lol
The last image is of my coworker Kelly. This is probably the exact scene you’ll see if you walk into our lab during the late afternoon as the sun really starts pouring into our lab.
New york botanical garden
It all begins with an idea.
A few days into his stay with us, my roommate Jenny and her brother Tim decided to go to the New York Botanical Garden and extended the invitation to myself. Despite it being Jan 2 and no where near peak season, I thought it would be fun spending a winter day at the garden!
As per usual I found myself carrying around two cameras, my trusty Olympus XA loaded with Kentmere 400, shot at 800, pushed to 1600 that I loaded into my camera on NYE. Second camera was my hefty Mamiya C330 that I recently picked up this past fall and has so far proven to be a good working camera.
I hope you enjoy these images from this day!
New york aquarium
It all begins with an idea.
Hello, hope you are doing well!
This past holiday season my partner’s work was gracious enough to give her two weeks off and we really wanted to plan out a small day trip since we hardly ever have the same days off from work. After some brainstorming, it came to our attention that we both hadn’t been to the aquarium and as per recommendation from my roommate, we decided this would be our destination trip.
Here’s a set of photos mostly taken on my new point and shoot, a Pentax IQ Zoom, a lil chunky guy but this was its first outing and I’m pretty stoked on the results! The last few photos were taken on my Mamiya C330 when we decided to go for a lovely winter walk along Coney Island
I had such a great day and as much as I wish I packed another roll of film to capture the epic sunset we witnessed, there’s something special about not taking any photos and committing that moment to memory.
