Happy Summer! Love, The Ticks

Got ticks?

Sorry, only ticks from O’Neill, Nebraska, may apply. (From a local newspaper ad. No I do not live in Nebraska.)

So here’s the deal: I’m trying to liven up my 30 minute commute by seeing things a little differently. All of these shots are taken with the Hipstamatic camera app on my iPhone4, at between 40 and 60 mph. I know what you’re thinking, but pointing and shooting (without really looking) takes absolutely no skill or attention. Much safer than texting. If you’re unfamiliar with Hipstamatic, you might remember this. Random Hipstamatic lens and film combos are generated by the “shake to randomize” function and taken with my iPhone. I realize no one else is going to give a shit, but then again, no one reads this blog anyway. This first series (I’m calling it Homeward Bound; haha yeah that’s fucking cheesy) is heading south, between 5:30 and 6:00 PM, early June 2012. Also, I need to clean my windshield.

: South side, heading east. The rest of the trip is heading south. The way we’re all headed…eventually.

: The Salvador 84 Lens creates the double exposure effect. You can take the same shot four times and come out with four different results. One of my favorite lenses.

: One of my favorites. I’m going to post two of the same lens/film combo. These turned out well (in my opinion, and based on the negligible level of effort).

: There used to be an old barn up on the right hand hill. I was always planning on photographing it. Then it collapsed. I always fuck shit up like this. They (well, not they; let’s just say I) call me “Opportunity Lost”, “Loveable Loser”, or just plain “Lazy”. It’s ok, I don’t mind. I know my limitations, without actually accepting them.
