Elmwood Cemetery in Memphis is home to victims of the yellow fever epidemics that struck during the 1800’s the worst of which was in 1878. People died at such a fast rate at the height of the epidemic that the dead were buried in trenches in an area known as “No Man’s Land”. It was…
Two rolls of Delta 100 that had dates in May marked on them…just sitting on my desk, so I decided to see what I had shot for that week. Sorry for my absence, I promise that I will be here for the rest of the year. First, before I post some images from these rolls,…
My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary with a spontaneous trip to New Orleans where we honeymooned last year. I took along the Olympus XA with Agfa Vista 200. In retrospect, 400 would have been a better speed because the 200 was just too slow for interiors. We had a great time and…
Early in September the wildflowers start to blossom at Barren Grounds Nature Reserve. It is a windswept plateau covered in dense thickets, but in spring comes alive with colour and bird life. On the day we were there it was overcast with occasional showers passing through. The only others around, apart from us taking photographs,…
The EXA went hiking with me again. I bought a new strap for it and, now, it is so much more comfortable to tote around all day. Watch out, folks, I armed and dangerous now! Again, I shot on Kodak Ektar 100. And, if you saw my last hiking post, you’ll…
Roll 26 is Rollei Infrared 400 film from a Brownie No.2 Model D camera. This roll was taken partly in Barcelona and partly on a shoot after returning home to The Netherlands. Because the camera was loaded before flying to Spain, this film was sent through airport security x-ray twice which affected it. Other rolls of…
Somehow this roll was mostly portraits of people I know, and a forklift I don’t know. All I know is Kentmere 400 film, no notes on the camera.
I have a few other rolls in the development hopper from previous weeks, but this particular one was used in a beginning darkroom class from last night where I got to do a contact sheet and wet print for the first time. Fun! I’ve been developing film for about a year and half, so that…
The Canon SureShot 90u and roll of Fuji Superia X-tra made their way on a hike just south of Reno, Nevada. This is a relatively new trail that the county is maintaining for the public so I thought I would force my five year old to check it out for some exercise. He…
In week 35 I used the Yashica Mat 124G and Kodak Portra film. A few months ago, I bought the close up filters for the Yashica. The focusing zone with them is razor thin but so worth it when I get it right. All photos but the one of the bench are taken with the…
The Cold War was an interesting period of history, and one of my favourites. Cloak and Dagger affairs, Nuclear Weapons, Spies, Jets, and the such. The CF-104 Starfighter is my second favourite jet of the era, the first being the doomed Avro CF-105 Arrow. But the Starfighter was unique, wildly different from jets of the…
The handy-dandy EXA and a roll of Kodak Ektar 100 went on another festival adventure. This time we went to Sparks, NV, for the annual Best in the West Rib Cook Off. Woo-hooo! Every Labor Day weekend, the grillers, smokers and masses of humanity gather to consume as many beef ribs as…
