Recently. I have not spent a whole lot of time shooting 35mm film. And for that matter, I have not been shooting 120 either. I was kind of stunned after having a person at Walgreens tell me that they can develop 120 medium format film. Only to find out from person #2 at Walgreens, they indeed do not.
Speaking of which. I have a roll of 120 half way shot.
After some surfing on ebay (as usual) I found out that I can get some filters that can emulate the mask in the Holgas. The soft dark edges I am oh so fond of, could easily just be a filter thats slipped on the barrel of a SLR camera.
And with it being now December. I guess I shouldn't torture myself with looking at Digital SLR cameras. The better idea about such a matter would be to search for lightly used camera stuffs and save some money. But then again, this wouldn't even be close to possible until after the holidays.
In turn. Ill be getting out my Cannon Rebel G, the kind of the 35mm flavor to play with until I can figure out some sort of plan to get a Digital SLR. Maybe start a fund? Put some coffee cans with a picture of me on them at the local gas stations? I can see it now.
Regardless, I couldn't afford one now at any rate. With holiday time here you got tons of items and things to buy for family and loved ones. This merchants holiday is specially horrible mainly because every one is guilt tripped into this sort of annual period. I personally hate this time of year. The only good thing that comes out of it is seeing family, watching children open presents, and the skyrocketing suicide rates.
Its just another day of the year. And a good day to take pictures I have to remind myself. Its not all bad.
