CineStill 800. What a wonderful film, an emulsion I found when looking at this project for the first time late last year. I thought it would look great when shooting the interior of one of the local casinos, the Mohegan Sun casino just down the river from where I live. I took a short tax…
Roll 20 was an ongoing roll of TMax 100 film from a Kodak Flash Bantam Camera. This roll was started a number of weeks ago and just finished. This camera was kept at the ready, usually in my car. The film roll is made from 35mm respooled onto an 828 spool with a backing paper…
I’m still finding the focusing on the X-Pan to be a bit tricky. The screen is much darker than my Hasselblad 500 CM. Out of a roll of 36, these were a few of my favorites made in and around the Portland Saturday Market. I also walked around parts NW and SW Portland…
Trees can be vertiginous reaching straight up to sky, although some have limbs that are twisted and seem to wave instead. There are trees that have bark which is thick and hard, whilst others have thin mottled skins that flakes off. Grass trees on the other hand really have no bark at all. Trees are…
Roll 19 has a few kiddie rides on TMax 400 film from an Arrow Camera. This roll was taken a couple of weeks ago in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, as part of an ever ongoing series of kiddie rides. I’m especially drawn to old rides sitting outside of small stores and I like using toy or…
Jana kindly let me borrow her camera. Maybe I’m just not good at winding the film in the camera. Its easy for it to get really loose on the winding roll, so you have to change film in a dark bag. She also put some gaffer’s tape around the outer rim to seal out light…
Invariably, there is a film that has been sitting in the fridge for a while needing a camera to roll in. It could be treasured a bit longer, left in that dark trove and not moved, but the world has called. Somehow it seems like the perfect film for pinhole, with its fine grain, high…
For those of you who have been paying attention to my film fumbles, you know that I destroyed a roll of 120 film attempting to make it fit into a camera that only wanted 620. If you missed that adventure, please check out Roll 21. I took some friendly advice and tried to salvage…
Despite the title, this is not the famous Flanders Field. But rather the iconic cemetery at the St. Ignatius, a well known spot for anyone who attends the Photostock event held nearby at the Birchwood Inn (Harbor Springs, MI). The Church, a Jesuit mission was first built in 1741, a fire burned it down in…
Part of living in a big city is at some point in time you possibly could run into some form of urban blight. Dallas has its fair share of decaying neighborhoods. But the most interesting parts are the signs pointing out where there used to be a house, you can see where a driveway used…
Boy, it sure is hard to believe I’ve been doing this project for 1/2 a year already. One of main goals was to improve my technical skills and I think I’ve improved along the course of the year. But another one of my goals was to get out of my comfort zone and do more…
From 1645 to 1885 the red coat of the British Army was both feared and respected, this army of as General Sir Arthur Wellesley the Duke of Wellington put it, the scum of the Earth, drilled and disciplined into one of the most effective fighting forces the world had seen, and helped Britain build an…
