I’ve never been to a Renaissance Faire before, and there was one within an hour’s drive of my house, so I thought it would be a good chance for some fun, some people watching, seeing some interesting costumes, and all over a three-day weekend (USA holiday, Memorial Day). I brought two cameras, a Canon FTb…
Well I have been AWOL for a while but I have been busy shooting film, I even got an Olympus XA so I can be part of the club! I also got a puppy and he has been distracting me like crazy so although I have some shooting I have got nothing developed… Something I can…
I’m still in love with the EXA. So, it went to the Truckee River in Reno, Nevada, recently to celebrate kayaks at the Reno River Festival. I forgot that I was shooting black and white so I’m not as excited with the results but they are interesting. It’s funny that I totally…
It seems we are on an Olympus XA roll on 52 rolls! So I will continue the trend. 🙂 Inge mentioned in her Week 10 post that she picked up an XA for me at “Analogue Heaven.” Well, she delivered it to me in person when we visited her in Rotterdam! AND It was loaded…
Dreaming in Black & White. It’s funny how sometimes the picture comes to me when I’m at the location, and sometimes it’s just there in my head. A lot of this project has been pre-planning locations and sometimes it works out and I take the shot, other times it just happens, and then still it…
Friday of week 20 was a gorgeous day, so I loaded up the Olympus XA to capture some downtown happening during my lunch hour. It was Bike to Work Day downtown and there were bike-related activities at Court Square Park and some aerialists performing. More week 20 at my Flickr page.
On Saturday a friend and I checked out Yesler Terrace, a low income housing complex in Seattle. Most of the residents have been kicked out for a big new redevelopment of several blocks into new high/low income housing that hasn’t been started yet. Former Washington state governor Gary Locke spent some years growing up in…
I had a couple of firsts with this roll. I picked up an Olympus XA that looks a little rough around the edges and loaded it with some CineStill Film that I’d been holding on to for much too long. It’s interesting to compare the CineStill of Sam with a photo taken…
The EXA and a roll of Kodak T-Max 100 B&W went to the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City recently. And, we all rode a very special train. Please allow me to introduce you to the McKeen Motor Car. She’s a beauty. All photos are straight out of camera, no post-processing adjustments.…
Special Thanks to FPP’s Mark Dalzell for this week’s guest camera! You see them all over universities, little memorials, gifts, and the such. The University of Findlay in lovely Findlay, Ohio is no different, and this week’s subject is one such memorials. This is actually the restored bell that once sat in the tower of…
I tried to finish the roll of FP4+ in my HiMatic 9 today, but the weather refused to cooperate, though I did have the time to scan this roll. The Olympus Stylus QD was the “other” camera I took with me last weekend to the 2014 Tulsa BlueDome Arts Festival. I’ve had it loaded with…
I’ve been meaning to shoot with this Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 on my Canon 7s rangefinder for a while. The focusing is not connected to the rangefinder, so the only choice is zone focusing. Looking through the viewfinder barely begins to show the whole image you’re going to get, as the viewfinder maxes out around a…
52 rolls
