A friend of mine had a private sale, and I picked up a Fuji GS645s. Its got a 60mm fixed lens. No motor drive, so its remarkably small & light. It can shoot 120 and 220. The rangefinder is a little broken, but zone focusing works fine. Its in great shape, except for that. I…
Ladies and gentlemen, here it is again, my current desert island camera, the little (not that little) camera that could, the camera that has not yet let me down, the one and only Minolta Autocord. You may have noticed I have developed a bit of an infatuation. In a way, I feel, camera makers the…
In 2014 Alex Luyckx asked me about starting up a podcast with John Meadows and my wife Dawn Bitaxi. Well, after a bit of discussion we all agreed to start it up. In January 2015 we recorded our first episodes. What an exhilarating experience! We discussed our Workhorse cameras… I talked about my black beauty…
Roll 41 is technically taken from 2 rolls and 2 cameras. The images were taken in the fields and along the Waal in Nijmegen The Netherlands. The panorama is of a construction masterpiece that Klaus van de Locht, 1942 – 2003, created in 1981 for everyone in Nijmegen to enjoy. Klaus was a very friendly…
I know I said I was going to make a couple of other posts about New Orleans – and I will – but last week my daughter and I went to the Rodeo and I have a few photos that I would like to share from that first. Also, the truth is I haven’t been…
I found a bit of an architectural theme on my twelfth roll of film which I started shooting a couple of months ago, and then finished off late last week. There were some nice surprises, barely remembered, from the first part of the roll. These three images are all taken in the Atrium, and relatively new building…
Here is a couple of images from a roll i took earlier this winter. The weather was nice and cold at about -20 degrees celsius. Camera: Canon 1V. Lens: Canon 24-70 2.8l Mark I. Film: Fuji Superia 200 @iso 50 developed in Tetenal, scanned using Pakon F135+.
A while back I got this anamorphic pinhole camera. It’s f/200, and a little quirky. You need a dark bag to unload the film, because it gets wound too loosely, and you only get 4 shots per roll (expose on frame numbers 2, 5, 8 & 11). And aiming is a bit tough. I use…
Running late on this here submission. I scored this Rollei and it’s a fun camera. Everything about it is just a joy to tinker with. Nothing fancy here either, just me dicking around. Zone focusing isn’t my strong suit but I’ll learn I think…
via Year of Film – UNDEREXPOSED: Alternative Photography http://ift.tt/19qETztIts just my luck that I find a film stock completely by accident that I really like, only to find that its been discontinued. I purchased a few rolls of this Super HQ in a film lot on ebay. I THINK I have found more of it…
For roll 7 work had taken me to Nashville, Tennessee. I never traveled to any of the southern states in America so it was definitely different than the life I know in Southern California. I wanted to explore, taste and see what Nashville had to offer I only had 2 night to explore so I…
I’ve almost forgotten about winter by now. Yet only a few weeks ago I spent a gloriously cold, gloriously sunny day outside in a snowy wonderland. It had been one of those slow weekend mornings when bed is your best friend, and moving at all seems anathema. It was late afternoon by the time I finally did manage to…
