Photo Friday Since no one else has started a thread, I will. Let's make it a free for all.

Here's some clematis in North Carolina that are from my first roll shot with my pinhole camera. I'm excited I just got an image, let alone one that is fairly well exposed.

shit, yep, they are...

Heh, nice shot lfr. The moment where you peek back to check your gap, and they're right on your ass letting you hang.

thx eek, I like the colors and the dreamy soft-focussed feel of your pinhole shot, altho I've not yet been motivated to fuss with real live film. Too much else going on. I've been so busy this summer I've only managed to shoot bike racers while I'm at the events, of which I still need to upload/process 2 weekend's worth of shots.

omg gaspode, that's crazy!

there's something very surreal / vulnerable (?) about the scattered bits of what look to be copier paper lying about in the top one.

*shiver*

Yay, free-for-all. That means I can post this "found art" I came across:

Today I helped download some photos off the camera of a relative who has very shaky hands, lol.

Pulled Pork Butt. Memorial Day. All kinds of NOM. Carnivores, best viewed large (clicky for option).

Thanks lfr. I've been getting back into film pretty steadily, and have half a dozen rolls of B and W I need to process. Just got everything set up for developing film, and I can use my dad's darkroom for enlarging. WOOT.

That was some yummy butt, eh rainbaby?

Hiking in the woods a couple weeks ago, I came across this - just light and shadow and a Sign from the Gods.

BP, I looooove that photo. It's perfect!

posted by eekacat 06 June | 17:24

It's a good day for a free for all.
Everyone's got great pictures.

i just saw a bit on the crane crash. The inspectors didn't, apparently. Someone did or didn't grease something.

posted by ethylene 06 June | 17:33

What was getting greased was palms apparently.

DarkForest, I favorited your top photo on Flickr. I absolutely love it.

Is that a moth or a muppet? Do you live near Fraggle Rock?

Oops, my mistake. My son made that painting. He's two and a half. My daughter did the other one.
I needed to correct the attribution so he won't hate me when he googles this in 10 years or so. Hey, John.

I had never seen waves even come up as high as the ground at Boiler Bay until this day. There was no way I was getting that close.

Ok, I have to say, free for all = everyone's best pics = woaaah. Maybe we should make it a regular every once in a while thing. These are all so awesome.
