Glazers Camera had a photowalk at Seattle’s Pike Place Market, and I brought a Yashica-A I’d picked up recently for $60. (How could I NOT buy that?) The camera was from an antique store on Vashon Island. The owner said her uncle had bought it in Japan, I think. It works perfectly, and has a…

These images were shot at Third Beach in Middletown, Rhode Island. I took my dogs for a walk, an activity they love. I don’t have photographs of them since I had the Contax T2 and it’s hard to capture Duke’s and Lilly’s energized movements with the camera. I used Kodak Ektar understanding that it likes…
More from the Moab Photo Symposium. Day 2, shooting with Huntington Witherill in Hunter Canyon. I had met Huntington several years ago when I lived in Monterey, CA, and was starting my serious B&W photography. He welcomed our Experimental Photography Class into his home studio to talk about his work. It was nice to renew…
Sometimes I wonder how company marketing departments decide on what a new product is going to be called. In the American automotive arena we’ve had Mustangs, Cameros, Corvettes, Thunderbirds, Hawks, Falcons and a host of other birds and animals. Cameras have had names like Brownie, Medalist, Retina, Signet and a plethora of other monikers, just…
Here is another test of Rollei Infared 400 film. The image turned out quite nicely, but was a mistake. I’d intended to shoot this scene using the IR film with an IR filter, which should have produced white vegetation. Instead, by mistake, I grabbed a number 25 deep red filter. The result was nice, but…

On April 30 we headed out to find something to shoot for Worldwide Pinhole Day. Again I brought my Wanderlust Travelwide 4×5 with a pinhole lens. (See the NCAR Mesa Lab post for camera specs). The first shot was made out in the parking lot. It was an extremely bright day with the glare from…
Note: I’ve been keeping up with shooting, but I’m way behind on scanning. April 30 of this year is Worldwide Pinhole Day. In anticipation, I went out the weekend before with my Wanderlust Travelwide 4×5 camera set up with a pinhole lens. The diameter of the pinhole is listed as 0.3175mm, which corresponds to ƒ/283…
