Awesome Photography Show in Austin

Sometimes I really miss Texas, like when I got this e-mail from evanistan (you know the guy with the amazing photographs from Afghanistan?) telling me about the photography show he's in this Saturday, my heart kind of broke a little more.

Here's evanistan's description of this unique event:

So I will have about 100 prints from Afghanistan and about 100 from many other places, and the other photographers are bringing their own work as well. In total there will be about 15 cities represented, and at least five countries.

The idea is, each 4x6 print is $3.50 and starting at 9pm (halfway thru the show) you can throw $3.50 in the jar and take the photo you want right off the wall. Hopefully the show will disappear while it's still going on. Each print is unique (no duplicates) so if you want to have your pick it's best to show up before 9 and take a look around!

So y'all go check it out! Tomorrow (Saturday, the 29th) night  at Space 12, 3121 E 12th St, at 9pm. It looks awesome, and I can't believe I'm going to miss it. But feel free to post a comment bragging about your experience.

We Had A Time

We had a really great party. At least I thought so. It was kind of overwhelming. We showed some photographs, some of our own, and outside (see above) we had some 'best of' Disposable Day submissions hanging from a clothes line that folks could view with that adorable freaking lantern. 

We Are Going Crazy, 'Cause of the Par-TAY

So for this Friday, I present you with 'The Young Idea' from Carrboro, NC circa 2004.

Back from the time of darkrooms,  temping,  & the re-'election'

also my first documentary project & last photography show.

Hope to see you tonight!

We are asking for a $5 donation to support filmzblog, so please do bring it if you've got it, it will be the best five dolla you ever spent. Also if you're coming please reserve here, so we know how much boozes to buy. See all ya'll in a week! 

   

Filmzblog Might Not Only Be About Film

For those of you who don't already know this, Austin, Zach and I are total nerds. I realize that many are laying claim to the nerd label these days (no one wants to be called a hipster for instance, so I'll go ahead and come clean and tell you that we are at least hipster-light, even though Zach will probably hate me for this), and the term 'nerd' can mean many different things. For instance, when I think of a music nerd I will simultaneously think: snob. So, I want to get something clear once and for all: 

We Are Not Snobs   

About Filmzblog: Why Film?

Hello! Welcome to filmzblog, a blog devoted to still film photography. Here we hope to explore all things film, be it through our own work, community projects, and the work of our fellow film shooters. Filmzblog was conceived one fine Spring evening in 2010 by Austin, Lauren, and Zach. We hope that you will join us in our reveries.
