Week #15: a lunchtime through downtown Brussels

Going out to the city center, I’ll try to show a few landmarks in this post.  No, not all of them but just a few from a small walk through downtown Brussels.  The Grand Place, Monnaie, Manneken Pis… stuff like that are probably seen by most people coming to visit the city.  So for those…

Week 18, WPPD

As with others, I used my pinhole for this week’s roll for Worldwide Pinhole Photograph Day.  I decided to go to a local state park that always has interesting things to see, Gillette Castle state park.  It is a castle, built on a bluff overlooking the Connecticut river, by a stage actor who made Sherlock Holmes famous…

Good morning starshine

Sunday morning. Up early. Down to the harbour. Strong latte from the mobile cafe serving coffee to stall holders setting up for the markets. Contemplate the wind, clouds, and sun hanging low in the autumn sky. It seems to have risen due east, almost straight down the line of the breakwater. Outside the still waters…

Week 18: Anamorphic Pinhole

Looks like Gretchen and I had the same idea.  🙂 I borrowed this Vermeer anamorphic pinhole camera from Jana.   We met up with a few other pinholistas for a few hours in Jeremy‘s back yard, then went for burgers & beers.  Also with us was Jeff, who took this fantastic image. I had used…

Roll 18_ World Wide Pinhole Day

I chose my newly purchased Vermeer Anamorphic pinhole camera for World Wide Pinhole day. I used Ilford Delta 100, exposed for between 20 and 32 seconds, and resulted in 4 photos. My husband and I went to the Pittock Mansion in Portland to make some architectural images which seem to work best with this type…

Week 17: Hiking with an Agfa box brownie

I don’t know where I got this Agfa box brownie camera, but I wanted to take it for a spin. A friend recommended hiking Cedar Butte, so off we went. The great thing about this old camera is that 120 rolls fit in it without modification.  The camera doesn’t leak, and works great. Unfortunately, it…

Week 14: Butterfly House

Shockingly there are pictures of butterflies! It was the end of March and rather cold outside….still. I had bought a partially filled bulk roller and this is a test of Kodak E100VS slide film with an unknown expiration date. The saturation is strong and lovely but the colors are wacko and require a lot of…

Week 13: Stereo Camera

This roll was shot on my wife’s Kodak Realist Stereo camera.  She has a small collection of antique stereo cards and a viewer that I can hardly describe other than to say it folds up and has three circular magnifying glasses on one cover. These are family snapshots, and not all that exciting to the…

52:320TXP – Week 16 – Man the Trouble Is

Man, the trouble is We don’t know who we are instead One of my favourite bands is a group called Jars of Clay, on their fifth studio album, and my favourite album cover of theirs, “Who We are Instead.” The cover features the band in front of these old silos, as a fan of abandoned…

Roll 17_ the Holga PAN

A mixed bag of results this week from my Holga Pan camera.   The Holga PAN is an expensive option for delving in to panoramic photography. It has a 90mm lens, a 180’ view on 120 film, speed of 1/100 with four focusing zones, two hot shoe mounts and a bulb setting…which i should have…
