Week 41: Paris at night, or “see the craters of the moon”

This week, Paris at night. There is no doubt that all cities are special at night. Paris, even more so. I have a friend (whom I’ve already mentioned here) who wanted to take a walk around town and take some pictures, and so I joined him. We spent an hour in around St. Michel and…

Week 38 #DTLA

I’ve now reached a point where rolls and weeks roughly coincide again. This week’s roll was Agfa APX 100, a film I’ve shot a few times before. I really like it for its fine grain and nice range of values. I have to say I’m impressed at how it performed in the large variety of…

Roll 8/52 Japan, the great escape part 4

The reason behind 52 rolls is to enhance your skills, maybe try new film and different ways to process it to push the boundaries. It certainly taken me on  new road! Agfa vista 400 pushed to 800; for a consumer film, hats off, not much colour shift, none too dark shadows, all in all a…

52 Rolls Week 41:52

Ute Mountain This week we visit Ute Mountain Tribal Park. This was the focus of our Photography Club’s trip to Cortez, Colorado.  There are dozens of Cliff Dwellings on the the Ute Mountain Reservation and the Tribe has established a Park to protect these sites while providing controlled access to them.  We were able to…

7/52 Rambling with Portra

I struggle with color film.  This roll of Portra 400 was loaded into my beautiful Leica M3.  It has the retractable 50mm lens.  This lens is prone to being fogged and the glass can be very soft but mine is in perfect condition 50 some odd years later.  I carried the camera with me during…

Roll 7/52 Japan, the great escape part 3

Roll 7 is pushed Portra 400 to 800 on  35mm shot with the Nikon FM3A. Good tones, works with the overcast conditions still sharpish, but after being spoiled by medium format, i see things differently now 😦 Im starting to see problems with uploading a film at a time, going back and forth in (visual)…

Roll 37 Family Time

You might have noticed over the course of the year that I don’t photograph people much, except on the street. Portraiture, except for occasional self portraiture studies, is not something I feel comfortable with. However, in this week I had a chance to hang out with most of my little family and decided to take…

Roll 6/52 Japan, the great escape part 2

This roll is Kodak Ektar 100 shot on the Mamiya 645 super. Shot in Shibuya, namely Yoyogi park, and Meiji Jingu shrine that is encapsulated by the park itself. The area is huge, and being blessed with a warm bright day, it felt like everyone was there, surrounded by tourists; a feeling which was unrelenting…
