let's dream away to some place beautiful

so, i recently bought one of those old-tyme Pocket Kodak No. 1 cameras from my favorite portland camera shop. i was warned there might be some slight light leaks. that means bits of light get into the camera body and play with your film. they're nice in that they add some character. turns out my camera had a lot of light leaks. here's what i ended up with:

the "red" hen house.

in the mist.

i also played around with the colors on photoshop after getting the film developed. some of them were red-ish, when they probably should have had a cooler tone. the originals on right, edited on left:

i ended up returning my little Pocket No. 1 for a different model. the images were unique, but unpredictable. i'll follow up with pictures from the new, old-tyme camera once they're developed.
