skewed views of stonehenge



back in mid-august when i attended blog camp 1.5, we visited stonehenge. i had the old family heirloom rolleiflex TLR camera with me and i loaded it with a roll of Kodak ektachrome professional film that had expired in 1991. well, after the film spent several weeks at my local camera shop where they were befuddled by the fact that not only was it 120 film but professional film and expired to boot, they finally sent it off for processing at a place that could do that and i just got it back today. and these are a couple of the results. i do so adore that you have no idea how expired film will behave. this, coupled with my inexperience with the rolleiflex produced these overexposed shots. but i love them. even more because i managed not to get any of the crowds of people standing behind ropes around the perimeter in the shots. so i think they do justice to stonehenge's inherent mystical, ethereal feel. and i'm pretty pleased that i remembered to do polly's signature skewed shot, which also seems to fit stonehenge.

please do check in on the new project - domestic sensualist. we're posting every day during this kick-off week!  and on across ø/öresund we're back to our nikons this week after a week of iPhone photos, so do stop by and see what we've seen. i'm off doing interviews and (happily) seeing some old friends for the next couple of days, but i'll be back wednesday evening.
