Found Film Pinups

About a year ago a buddy of mine gave me afew of those vintage kodak film containers,in one of them was some film.He said that they were in his basement when he moved to the place and were full of dust,so he gave um to me.Up untill tonight they have been displayed as decor in my home.I always wondered what was on them so recently I decided I want to digital process my film by using a dslr and a lightbox (thanks Alex for the direction)So ive yet to make my setup,but wanted to see if I could do it with a phone lightbox and my dslr.Mind you this was a quick setup.I plan on scanning my own film and this film for better results in the future.

There is always something

There is always something to shoot no matter where you are,I no to some photographers they only shoot one thing one style but to me if you shoot abit of everything it opens you up to new ways of shooting.On this day i found myself waiting for a few clients to come to the near by rose garden,and as I waited I started to look at the trees near by and took a few shots.Stepping outside can offer an array of shots just take of the lens cap and start shooting.

1st fall walk among the cemetery

My first walk of the fall season through a local cemetery a favorite of mine,im always finding new shots and things to photograph at Evergreen memorial cemetery located on 14th street in Riverside,Ca.Most of what I photogaphed this time were things others left behind has a few of the smaller things seem worn and weathered its makes me happy to see them like that,because I no they have been left behind by loved ones and others have had enough respect to leave them.

Recently ive seen this Angel which was placed not to long ago I hope the same respect is taken with this too.

while walking through I had to take a second glance has the stone said BOBO tho with a slight edit i added the period.Has to say Bob.O which happens to be may name.Kinda eerie to see your own name in a cemetery. 

in this particular cemetery there are many benches which have the names of those laid to rest marked on them.

Under a bridge and some

A spot in Colton California Ive been going to for some time now,I first found it many years ago while riding down the bike trail with my camera.There were quite a few abandoned places in the way of small pump houses,tho time has taken its toll and many have fallen and all thats left is one pumphouse and a small shack not below.The rest is in the river under the bridge,lots of graf and things to shoot.Ive used it for some time now for photoshoots thinking maybe a group shoot there soon.
