Week 33:Slide in the City

Week 31 & Week 32 got skipped, for a few reasons.  But last week to make the most of the last days of summer, I thought I would try some more slide film namely Provia 100f. The results are not quite as good as last time, I guess because the light was not quite as…

Roll 3/52 Portra 400 pushed 800 on Mamiya 645 Super

In a haste to get acquainted with the new addition to the burgeoning family of cameras, the Mamiya 645 super was taken out with a roll of Portra 400 on an overcast but bright day. No internal meter, inverted waist level finder, unfamiliar buttons and being exclusive to 35mm until now; the sheer size handheld, made…

Week 36.2 A short excursion into colour

I like black and white. It has been interesting experience this last year-and-half to shoot all those rolls of film only in black and white. That experience, coupled with using mostly a standard 50mm lens (with occasional risky forays in to 35mm focal lengths, as we will see next week!) really does help you to…

Week 36: 9/11 at Kennesaw Mountain

For anyone who has followed my posts at all, you will see that I live in Atlanta Georgia in the United States.  The South has a number of important places that remember a very dark time in our countries history that nearly tore our country apart but, in the end made us the nation we…

Week 35: The Voigtländer incident

One of my goals in this project is to use all of the film cameras that I have either acquired or were given to me.  One of the last “classics” on the list is a Voigtländer Vito C given to me by my neighbor.  It is a beautiful camera made is West Germany sometime in the…

Week 39: Push Off

The 52 Rolls Project has led me to shoot (a lot) more film which has been mostly good, but not always. There have been several weeks where I’ve resorted to snapshots, just to tick off the week, and 39 was one of those. Similar weeks have occasionally produced the odd photograph that I’ve been pleased…

Fuji GSW690III

More film developed from the August 7th trip to Lester, Washington, where there are a few abandoned buildings. Christian lent me his FujiGSW690III for a few rolls.  I loved it.   Such resolution!  But it eats film.  I was torn between G.A.S. and being a little glad I didn’t have it, because you only get 8…

Week 23 & 24: Holiday in Greece

During week #23 and #24 we visited my in-laws in Athens, Greece for the christening of my nephew. I went all out and shot three rolls of 35mm in two weeks. At least for me that’s quite a lot. 😉 I also tried to get used to the 35mm focal length. As it turned out…

Week 22 (yeah, I know) – Denmark. Holga Meg Diana+

My family is very varied.  Some folk never venture far from home.  Others decide that they’re going to get as far away from it as possible.  I was talking to perhaps the most wayward member of my family in my Grandma’s flat one afternoon when I said “Well, next time you’re in Europe, give me…
