Film Log: AT-1 v.3.0



3.1 Columbia University Subway Station.
07/27/12



3.2 Subway tracks.



3.6 Low Library.



3.9 Earl Hall.



3.14 A New York City hallmark on the upper west side.



3.20 Caged in by the Empire State.



3.21 Central Park, surrounded by giants.



3.22 Macy's department store.



3.24 The iconic Chrysler Building.



3.26 The High Line elevated park, Chelsea, Manhattan.

Twenty-six exposures in a roll of film supposedly for twenty-four. Not bad, not bad. I'm proud to say I regularly exceed expectations this way. All photos shot at 400 ISO, despite it being a very, very sunny day.

Speaking of sunny days, I've been getting recurring headaches likely caused by the intense brightness of rare Vancouver sun. It must be Vancouver's lack of smog.

I started this thing I call a 'lomo log' on my old tumblr blog. The convention was: nth film roll exposed by a specific camera, followed by shot number, with additonal information on date, subject, and conditions the photo was taken in. This post documents the second roll of film shot with my Canon AT-1. Hence the 2.X, with X being any number from 1-36. I used to try to write this all down and post the scanned pages along with the prints, but let's face it: my handwriting is atrocious and writing everything down is just so time consuming. Instead, the list goes into a note on my iPhone. I'd put it up, but I'd rather type it out.

New York, Day VI-VII
















Had brunch at the Cookshop in Chelsea. Their frittata is mouthwatering, but I've never had one before, so I have nothing to compare it to.

I took the subway on my own and walked to the Guggenheim. Their exhibit on the works of Rineke Dijkstra was enjoyable, especially her videography work titled "The Krazyhouse." I admit to not being able to appreciate all the abstract art. I tried, I swear!

Having run out of things to check off of my New York bucket list, my godfather decided to take me to Coney Island. Boy, is that place packed.

I feel like I got the best seat on the plane, I mean, look at that view! For once, it isn't obstructed by the airplane's wings. Thank you, mysterious person who checked in online for me.


New York, Day V - From the Top

I felt like this part of my evening in New York City needed special attention.
