This is not a replacement for my blog at photosbyelisa.com/blog, it’s just a nice little front page highlight:)

So here’s the first entry for June 3rd, 2009…

The above image features a multiple exposure of the Fairmont Olympic, downtown Seattle–all ghostly and whatnot…

Anyways, here’s the backstory…While buying new lenses last spring, I saw the plastic holga’s on sale at the camera store…only $25 dollars! I had read and seen various photos taken with them, and I thought why not…so I just threw it into my rather large lense purchase (Canon EF & EFS lenses for my XTi) and went on over to the film building to trail back to their refrigerated film section to pick out some 120 film–had never bought any out of a fridge before!

Anywho, I chose some b/w and color…and took it around town along w/my XTi over the next few weekends…I played a lot, I confess, with multi exposures, just to see what crazy artsy images I could create…it was great fun awaiting the development of rolls and scanning in the cool shots…I might make a print of this and hang it, it is easily one of my favorites, as well as one of the first few frames…I would call this type of image… “artistic happenstance”…

Until tomorrow…
