Nearly all work has arrived for the Somerville Toy Camera Fest show at "my" gallery, and it's always such an amazing, wonderful, inspirational thing to see all these great photos "in person." For me it's somehow even better than seeing the finished show on the walls. This is by far my favorite point in the whole months-long process of planning this #photography festival. Life is rich.

Eschscholzia californica and Castilleja exserta ssp. exserta - California Poppy and Purple Owl's Clover. Just caught the very last of the super bloom in May at Carrizo Plain National Monument.
The owl's clover is from a family commonly known as paintbrushes. They are hemi-parasites, meaning they feed off the roots of other plants to supplement themselves. In this case they are probably parasitizing other wildflowers that have already gone to seed.
Carrizo plain is one of the largest intact remnants of a native grassland ecosystem, including several alkali sinks. This area escaped cultivation partly due to its remoteness, and has served as a refuge for dozens of rare plants and animals. It's about an hour drive from SLO.
Thank you to @dsfroggy for the use of your camera, and for taking the second photo

I love the people who are, like, "WHEW I got my submission in under the wire!!" today when, given that the deadline is still 24+ hours away, we know the legit procrastinators have yet to start thinking about which images they'll submit ๐
It's not too late right now...OR too early! https://www.somervilletoycamera.org/call-for-entries

The irony of being so dependent on digital channels to promote our lo-fi film photography festival is not lost on us at #STCF! ๐
It is what it is!
So here is another reminder that our call for entries is open!

Diana camera contact sheet, Sept. 2011
Death Valley & Lone Pine, California.
I've always appreciated the image-to-image flow & 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 all the images made on a single roll.

Cork docks 1969, one of my first photos.
Diana plastic camera & 120 roll film. The camera cost 10 Schillings, bought in Lehanes grocer shop (now Centra) Rossa Avenue, Bishopstown.
Purchased the film from the chemist shop (now Spice Town?) in Uam Var Ave and the kind man, in a white coat, showed me how to put the film in.

@cboaz If you were to make a post and add your interest(s) as hash tags, people would find you. I believe Mstdn specifically doesn't support searching for people, as it can be misused. #Canadian #FilmPhotographer #musician #blues #SlideGuitar #PinholeCamera #DianaCamera
