Red Bull Soapbox Race 2007 #5

This year's Red Bull Soapbox Race was held in my backyard, the East Side of Providence, RI on College Hill. Last year I lived just a couple blocks down from this spot! It was an amazing time and I was lucky to be accompanied by two of my favorite new cameras: my Holga 120CFN and my brand new Diana+ from The Lomographic Society. There is no better way to capture these fanatics than with a Lomo camera!

I used my new Diana+ for the candid shots of the crews in the pits and my Holga with high speed film for the race shots. I got a lot of looks from photographers with their D-SLR's! The pit crews were very happy to pose for my unique cameras.

In this photo, the pit crew for the Packard Burger Express team enjoys a musical interlude. Some pretty crazy colors on some pretty crazy ladies here! Ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, I'm hungry.

You can purchase selected photos of mine at mylatehope.imagekind.com.

Created using my brand new Diana+ with Rollei ScanFilm (iso 400). Negative scanned with an HP Scanjet 4890. No digital manipulation used!

    The colors in this are crazy. I love this red! PS- I want a roll of this film before you use it all. I hope I will be lucky enough to get these faded colors.
