I really enjoyed the last time I did this – mixing three variations of the same scene, all shot with different cameras. Breaking rules feels good, especially when they’re your own self-imposed rules.
So here’s two different looks at a pile of firewood in my MIL’s backyard, both shot on film. I don’t know why the toy camera shot is so crooked, it looks like I was fall-down-drunk and decided to shoot a picture on my way to the asphalt!

the Rolleiflex shot is gorgeous! i’d love to own a medium format camera like that but i can’t justify the cost and hassle of getting the film developed. i get enough filthy looks as it is when i hand in 35mm.
Thank you! Good deals can be had on eBay, but it’s true that developing the film can be a pain. I’m lucky to have a few places in my city that will develop for reasonable costs, but they’re still a long bus ride away. Why on Earth would anyone give you dirty looks for shooting in 35mm though?! That’s just insane!
Because the only places that develop film that are within 30 miles of me are small chemists that have one little machine and usually they’re worked by teenagers who hate their job. It doesn’t inspire me to trust them with my photos :-/
Aw! That stinks! My hometown is very small and until I went to college I had to let the likes of Wal-Mart develop my 35mm film, or else it was nothing at all, so I feel your pain. ;_;
