Week 32.2: In Montsouris with the Rolleiflex

As you will have seen in my previous post, the weather was very nice in week 32. And as I was on holidays, I managed to get up very early and go to the park near where we live, Montsouris. It an “English park” created by Baron Haussmann and friends at the end of the…

52:500c – Week 34 – Wednesday Night Blues

It slowly sinks in; week 34 may not get shot, or it could be shot around Sheridan again. Thankfully they were quickly shaken as I had to head to Toronto to record to September episode of the Classic Camera Revival Podcast, and I find myself on a lovely evening walking through the Leslieville neighborhood of…

Week 34: Holgaroid

In an effort to work through all of the cameras for this project, this week I chose the Holgaroid.  For those unfamiliar with this beast, it is a Holga 120N all hacked up to use a Polaroid 100 back. Rather than doing the rational thing and using a pack of the now no longer produced…

Week 30: A+ for concept, E- for Attainment

So this week I shot a roll of Lomography Redscale. I thought long and hard about what to shoot then it came to me.  I have a Lego astronaut figure so I thought it would be cool to photograph him at London locations but with the redscale it might look like it he was visiting…

Week 32.1: In Paris, in August

Paris in August is special. France is famed for its long vacations, and the period from the 14th of July to 15th of August is traditionally the quietest time in the capital.

My home town of Pontypridd holds an annual vintage transport day in the town park. This year was a novelty as the sun made an appearance. After a parade through the high street, the cars trucks and bikes make their way into the park and squeeze into rows of polished paint and chrome. In an…

52 Rolls Week 33:52

Color Film Comparison.  Something I used to do often as I searched for a replacement film for my favorite discontinued Kodak E100GX: Now I’m venturing back into the realm of C-41 films, still searching…………We visit the Snowy Range, Wyoming.  About a 3 hour drive from my home. The upper image is a Photoshop Merge of…

Week 29: Gotta have Coffee

This week I shot a roll of Fuji Pro400h in the Holga.  It was a particularly bright day so 400iso was a bit to strong.  It was already loaded from a few days before so I didn’t really have a choice. I decided to try a theme this week and the theme was Coffee.  I…

Roll 22 -Attack of the Rem-jet

So I had a phone call from AG Photographic(UK) explaining that someone had sent them a roll of C-41 that contained re-spooled motion picture stock. Before they noticed it, my film had gone into the bath. They were very apologetic and to be honest, what could they have done? It wasn’t their fault if some…
