Category: snapshots

For several years now I’ve taken pictures (I don’t ‘make’ photographs) with my phone. Mostly I shoot pretty straight, and mostly b/w. Sometimes though I like to experiment with other things like this NOMO wet plate camera.

There are any number of things I can play with. I can shoot straight. I can shoot with a wet plate look. I can play with instant cameras, and half-frame cameras, or disposable cameras or multi -exposure cameras. I can shoot high contrast b/w, or subdued color when I want to. Even garish carnival midway-like color, but I don’t want to do that.

I use Snapseed for any post processing I want to do. Generally it’s just minor tweaks to contrast and tonality and adding a little grain. But there are endless possibilities with it. Most of it I’ll seldom use, if ever, but it’s all available right here at my fingertips. Camera and darkroom right here in my hand. And the damn thing will slide right into my pocket. How cool is that?
