return of the sprocket holes/mid-term

Finally! I modified my Lomo 35mm film adaptor for my Holga so that the image bleeds all the way to the edge of the film... check out the sprocket holes!!! It looks awesome, now you know that these were taken with a modified Holga. If anyone has any questions about the mod I'll be showing what I did and what the final product looks like after you take a serrated blade to your 35mm adaptor, so keep your eyes out for that post soon. I must say these images came out great. The sprocket holes really add an interesting design element and the light leaks around each individual hole are particularly lovely. These images were taken as part of my mid-term for my pinhole & plastic camera course at academy of art university. I shot for a week making sure to carry my Holga with me wherever I went. I did my best to pay more attention to my surroundings, capturing scenes that I normally wouldn't give a second glance. But this project would have been drastically different if my instructor Connie would have let me change it. early on the shooting process wasn't producing the results I was hoping for. It was coming down to the wire and I didn't think I was going to get the project to work. I asked Connie if I could go a different route and thankfully she had me continue with the project I had purposed. Luckily I found an unprocessed roll of film that was in my backpack. I had it processed and tah-da! success! All of the images below were on that roll. So in the end it all worked out and i made it happen... thank god hahaha.
