Seattle anamorphic pinhole photos

Saturday I met up with Jana & Todd to shoot some pinhole photos. I was using the Vermeer anamorphic pinhole camera again.   We got rained on a little, but it was great fun. I look forward to our next pinhole meetup!

Week 34: Jeremy Novy

I will give up shooting with expired film. I will give up shooting with expired film. I will give up shooting with expired film. I will give up shooting with expired film. I will give up shooting with expired film. Otherwise, I’ve long been a fan of Jeremy Novy‘s koi. I’ve photographed them at Clarion…

Week 33: Giants vs. Phillies

There’s nothing quite like attending a Giant’s game at AT&T Park. Sitting in the stands enjoying a cold beer and a hot dog is a pretty decent way to pass at weekend afternoon. Camera: Yunkor Film: Kodak Portra 400

Week 32: Haight Street

When we lived in Cole Valley, I spent many weekend mornings wandering up and down Haight Street. There was always something new to see – a mural, a piece of art that someone had adhered to a wall, etc. We moved not too far away and while still an easy walk away, the Upper Haight…

roll 44_ Toy Camera Day

I took out two cameras for World Toy Camera Day on October 18th, my Holga 120 CFN and the Holga PAN. I don’t have the negatives back for the Holga PAN so those will have to wait until next week, but here are the ones from the plain old black plastic Holga 120. Sadly my…

Roll 39: Crystal Peak Park, Verdi, NV

I’m a sucker for a good neighborhood park.   And, it makes for an easy way to explore with my family, check out some fun little, hidden spots and, of course, burn through a good roll of film.  I headed out with the Bolsey Model C and a roll of Fuji 400 35mm to revisit…

OscilloPinoscope in 6 minutes

A friend gave me an old Oscilloscope which had a Polaroid back.    Unfortunately, the shutter was sticky.   Fortunately, the Polaroid back was easily removable. I realized it would be super easy to make an instant film pinhole camera from it.    I knew all I needed was a pinhole, some cardboard and gaffer’s tape.   So I…

Roll 43_ October Pinhole Outing

For our October outing we went back to the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island with a bag of masks and our pinhole cameras. The morning started with two of us taking public transportation to the Arbor Lodge Coffee house in North Portland on Rosa Parkway. What a charming place, great coffee and cinnamon rolls and…

52:320TXP – Week 43 – For the Love of Film

Coming off the last bicentennial reenactment in Canada and a trip to Texas looming next week I figured I needed something quick and dirty for Week 43 so I decided to give a little bit of still life a try with two of jewels of my working collection. A 1950 Leica IIIc and a 1969…

Roll 38: Bolsey Model C

  A new camera for the project:   The Bolsey Model C.   This is a nice little TLR that runs 35mm and is from the 1950s.   The camera is a little special because an extended family member gave to me because he knows of my love for all things film.   The camera…

52:320TXP – Week 42 – The Battle

You don’t see a big battle, you hear it. A 4×5 camera isn’t exact the best camera to capture a military reenactment, but I figured what the heck! Now usually at an event like this I’m out on the field shooting a musket rather than a camera, but when I woke up on the Sunday…

Week 40: Trichrome

On my continuing photographic journey, I discovered early color photos from Russia taken by Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii using B&W negatives shot with red, green and blue filters and then projected through those same filters to produce a true color photograph.  The photos had a unique color palette, certainly different than color emulsions, so I thought I…
