Wonderful Magic
You get some wonderful magical surprises when you experiment. For this sweet shot of my son, I used a Diana+ 110mm soft focus telephoto Lomography lens. The cheap plastic lens produces a very cool retro soft glow to everything. If you are looking for tack sharp images, this lens is NOT for you. However, it…… Continue reading Wonderful Magic

What Are You Looking At?
What are you looking at? This is just me playing around with some surrealist ideas. What would it look like if you took your glasses off and held them out in front of you and saw your own eyes staring back? Not bad for a first attempt at it, but the execution needs some work. I need to…… Continue reading What Are You Looking At?
