Brooklyn through a Diana Mini

I recently ordered a used camera through ebay.

It arrived with a roll of film already exposed in it.

If you go to my website at the link below, you can see a couple pix, and download a free pdf/cbr that I made from the developed negatives:

Diana camera contact sheet, Sept. 2011 Death Valley & Lone Pine, California.

I've always appreciated the image-to-image flow and story that can be found in contact sheets from film negatives. In addition to scans of individual frames, I also create scans to make a contact sheet of the entire roll. I've always enjoyed seeing the physical record of all the images made on a particular roll. I was visiting folders in my Lightroom Classic catalog today that I've not seen for a while and this is one of the images I encountered again after a long time.

Two Cameras and a Hat A throwback to 2016 and an image I made for a "Mobile Photography Weekly" episode on double exposures. This is an in-camera double exposure made with an iPhone and the Hipstamatic app. Hipstamatic does a really good job with this effect and if you understand how dark and light areas interact together in double exposures, you can use it very effectively. The fact that you must take the photos consecutively means you have to get creative with seeing the double exposure possibilities in the location where you happen to be at that moment.
