Cross Processed Double Exposure

With this round of Double Exposures I shot a roll of slide film and had it Cross Processed with C-41 chemicals.

Super saturation alert!

I used a Canon FT 35mm camera to shoot these shots.

They’re a combo of images taken in Palm Springs and Los Angeles in the spring and summer of 2014.  The shells in the 3rd photo are from an awesome art car I happened upon in Palm Springs —>>> http://www.evolvearts.com/shellcar.html + a piece of art that our friend Troy made.

Visited the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and downtown L.A. near the Music Center for the other pics. 

Double Exposure Squared —>>> Butterflies are Free!

This latest round of Double Exposures created some serious Color Explosions!!!!!!!

I used 160 speed Kodak Portra film shot at 320 with the first round of exposures shot using a vintage Canon FT 35mm camera and the 2nd round with a vintage Pentax K1000 35mm camera. —>>>

Pentax K1000 35mm Camera

First round of subjects found at The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, with an emphasis on the butterflies in their annual Butterfly Pavilion.

Second round of subjects shot in both Palm Springs and Los Angeles.

The final 2 images were some of several shot with the idea of freedom in mind.  If butterflies are free, then what, or who, is the opposite of a butterfly?

Tru-Vue Three Dimension Film Viewer

This Tru-Vue Three Dimension Film Viewer is made of Bakelite & was most likely manufactured in the 1950s.  (There is what I believe to be a date on the box of 3 – 54).  Sawyer’s, the company that owned their competitor True-View, bought Tru-Vue in 1951 & moved their operations to Beaverton, Oregon, which is where this particular Tru-Vue was made.  According to various websites, Sawyer’s coveted the valuable license Tru-Vue had with the Walt Disney Company.
