Just thought I’d write a little follow up to my previous “Creative Photography” post. This time instead of getting all crazy with the multiple app processing to get a painterly look, I kept it simple using just the Hipstamatic app with the John S Lens and Pistil Film options. In the case of the “Diner” photos I did do a little bit of additional processing with the Film Lab app to tone down the colors just a bit using the Cross-Processing Americano effect; and the Pasadena Playhouse and Zona Rosa Caffe photos using the Cross-Processing Sandal effect.

Hey Craig, I was talking about your dad, my cousin, today and googled him which led to my clicking on your link and finding you. Looks like you’re still a creative genius! How interesting! And I was surprised you look so much like GP because I always thought you favored your mom.
I sent you a friend request on Facebook.
Remember me and Brooke? You and Brooke are second cousins in more ways than one!

Great post, I especially like the photograph, “Diner 02″. I think the iPhone apps are impressive. I really like the whole process of photography and all the different techniques. Whether it be traditional darkroom, to alternative processes such as Polaroid transfers, or TTV’s. I hope to own a Holga soon and other toy cameras. I have never tried pinhole photography, but will give that a try to. Your blog is great reading and I’m enjoying your photographs. Can’t wait to see more.

Thanks Cookie! I really appreciate it. I never thought I would be doing so much iPhone photography because I consider myself a “real” photographer (whatever that is) but, like you said, it’s all about exploring the whole process of photography, so why not use every tool we have access to! I love Holga photography and the Pinhole is fun (but tricky) and I definitely want try playing with the whole TTV thing (I have a Seagull Twin Lens Reflex which would be good for that, though the viewfinder isn’t very bright.)
Thanks again for the kind words and for checking out my blog!

Hello Craig…I wanted to ask, what did you mean your viewfinder on your Seagull Twin Lens Reflex isn’t very bright? I was curious because I didn’t understand what you meant by that. Did you mean the mirror inside? Or did you mean the glass bubble part that sits on top? I bought 2 Holgas at different times, the first one by accident…bought it because it looked neat and it was only $7, then I learned about ttv’s. So I took it apart and cleaned it and replaced the mirror myself, and the second I bought did the same and left in NY at relatives house so I when I went to visit I would have one already there. Anyway…I’m rambling and was wondering about your comment.
Have a great week, Cookie

I guess (I think) the mirror inside. I tried taking a picture once through the viewfinder using my iPhone and it was just very, very dim; nothing like the TTV photos you are getting, unless I am doing it wrong! lol. I only using the glass bubble part when I’m focusing with the Seagull.

Funny, now I’m googling how to do it and I guess people are making long, dark “smoke stack contraption” to block out the light… so I guess that’s what I was doing wrong (or not doing.)
