3 Sixty 5 Photography: 072 The Pacific. 

“The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can’t.” -Christopher Paolini

3 Sixty 5 Photography: 068 Julie. Los Feliz.

Typically not something I enjoy in photography, the random chances with the equipment of photography, but the Sprocket Rocket sometimes creates these really interesting “flaws” that turn a photo into something unique and more than it was before.

You can see there are light leaks that came through the sprocket hols, almost creating a trailing effect along the lower sprockets. To me, it creates this odd dream like a effect, like a flash was popped in a fluid ocean of dream and this was the result. Like I said, I’m not the kind of photographer that would really use expired film, flawed cameras or inconsistent technology, and hope for the magic of happenstance; but with the Sprocket Rocket, I the unique flaws it brings to an image are contained enough that they can be relied on to add rather than distract. Its one of those things that makes such a simple camera a great camera.
