Holga

2009-02-27T17:54:00.000-08:00

So I got a new "toy" camera not to long ago and final got the first couple rolls processed. It's a Holga which has only one setting (no shutter speed or aperture) which is different, but uses medium format film which is good. As you can see you can get cool effects if you play around with it. The real fun is in going to the camera store to see the prints because you never really know what your going to get.

One of my favorite new bands, The Black Keys, played a free concert downtown a little while ago. They are rock-blues duo from Akron, Ohio. I would highly recommend their newest CD, Attack and Release. Heres a few shots from the show.

So… I moved downtown a few weeks ago but haven’t had much time to go out and take pictures. I finally went out this afternoon after work for a little while. I’m sure there will be plenty more pictures for this area posted soon.

There was a anti-war rally held this Saturday, March 13, in Hollywood, Calif. The gathering was held because it was the 5 year anniversary of the Iraq war. Its OK, it's finger paint.

Welcome

2008-02-19T13:45:00.001-08:00

Hi. Welcome to Shawn McGinley's new blog.

I'm currently enrolled at Brooks Institute in Ventura, CA, where I study visual journalism. I'm really having fun with it. I'm still new to the program, I started in july of 2007. I thought a blog would be a good way to get some of my work out for all you people in cyber space. Anyway.... I hope you enjoy.
