Pearl beer is not the best tasting beer in the world, neither is Pabst which owned Pearl for a few years before the brewery closed down.
I love the glow around the building in this shot. The sun was up and bright, so I turned the ISO wheel to 800 to trick the LC-A into a faster shutter speed. I also really love the pretty blues this film has.
I have 4 rolls of Lomography C-41 left, before I have to order more.

Saturday I went on a bike ride and took a long my new best friend, the Lomo LC-A+.
What a neat little camera. Yesterday I got a little excited and posted the first photo from the roll that really got me interested, but there are some other good ones on their that could not wait.
So now on to another great pictures from that little photo ride. Above is the chapel at University of the Incarnate Word, here in San Antonio. This was my final destination on the ride, before I decided to head back.
I love how dark blue the sky is in this shot. I have more shots to share, but I think I will hold on to them for a little while longer.

I am still going through my photos from my brand new LC-A+, but I think this is my favorite.
I shot this after my bike ride, while I was sitting there drinking a nice strawberry lemonade at the Culinary Institute of America bakery which is located at the Perl Brewery.
I really like this shot, because it makes me think it is not San Antonio. I overexposed the sky a little bit, I am still trying to figure out how the LC-A works. It is fully automatic, however there is a little dial that lets me change the ISO which can trick the light meter into the exposure I want.
It is a surprisingly advanced camera considering it is a lomo camera.
I am still going through the other shots from the bike ride, but I think I am going to like this camera a lot.

Every year Jim Goldstein does a post on his favorite photos of the year, but then invites other photographers to send him a link of their favorites, so we can all see what other photographers favorites are.
So here are my favorites from 2011, I tried to select only film photos, because that is my focus on 2012, shooting more film.
These are some of my favorite pictures, because I enjoyed playing around with my camera while I was shooting; and I was always so excited to see the results. I just couldn’t wait to get my film back.
Up above is the waterfall at Waimea Valley on the island of Oahu.

And Last we have my first attempt at underwater photography. This is a little sea turtle at Ko Olina in Hawaii.
While I did not shoot a ton of film in 2011, I did notice that I enjoyed shooting film a lot, and some of the photos I was most excited about seeing during the year were all shot on film.
Now to get into full swing with 2012.

So here is week one. From lovely Austin, TX it is the State Capitol.
