Took a ride down to Beavertail,Jamestown,RI. When I got there it was raining, one day off and rain?!? I decided to wait it out and i’m glad I did. Sun came out and was really windy, But nothing gonna stop a Hassey and a roll ,of probably now my favorite,Neopan Acros100. Did some more playing…
Taking a chance or two and trying new things are what make photography interesting. Taking lots of chances and throwing caution to the wind makes it even more exciting. My wife Cheryl and I do this quite regularly when going out shooting with old cameras that we’ve found and cleaned up a bit but which…
For those of you that weren’t frightened away by the HearseCon Theme, we now take a look at popular icons and symbols. This year including references to Santa Muerte, an infamous icon of the Mexican Drug Trade. Didn’t see that one coming: Santa Muerte also appears enthroned in the corner of this altar setting. Old…
A couple of weeks ago, an old friend called in to drop off a box of old Russian rangefinders that had been languishing in his loft. As I already own a rangefinder or two, I decided to offer these cameras to the @EMULSIVEfilm community in exchange for ‘some film’. I put no limit on what…
Back in May I made these images in the area around Moab. The bridge is on Utah highway 128, which is the alternative route into Moab from interstate 70. We’ve seen that bridge in various states. The first time thru, it was badly damaged, but intact. Then it had been restored, and just the next…
Colton is a tremendous inspiration to me. I have “met” him through the Film Shooter’s Collective. I encourage you to view his work on his Flickr page. These images are in many cases busier than his but I tried to follow his style in the images from the old American Tourister factory now being…
I’m a bit behind. Some bumps in the road. Sorry I’ve been away. Last May, I went out for a random walkabout with a Seattle film photography group that meets every Saturday morning in a coffee shop, then wanders from there. That day we met in the coffee/tea place in the Panama Hotel, in Seattle’s…
This will be my last posting until sometime in September. We always spend the summer in New Orleans and while I will be shooting every day, I will not be posting anything during that time…having way too much fun. I still have a backlog of weeks to post but they’re done, it’s just me…
Heading into weeks 25 and 26,I was down at Liberty State Park,New Jersey….I love New York,and if you ever get a chance to see it from Jersey Park,Incredible View!!I have been so much into the Neon Acros lately I thought I would fool around with a roll of Kodak T-Max 400…pulled to 200 and developed…
Today I introduce you to a rather unusual ‘festival’ that we stumbled upon a few years ago: HearseCon (not for the faint hearted). We will begin with the Cars, and next week take a closer look at some of the symbols. I will warn you ahead of time that next week may be disturbing for…
I found an old 120 roll of Kodak Portra 160 Color Negative Film that I’d lost track of, so I sent it in to the lab and it just came back. The end of the roll consisted of these four shots from the first week of May. They were made in Hunters Canyon, near Moab,…
Life is full of unknowns and variables. If I was of a mind to have perfect pictures whenever I wanted, technology would gladly grant my wish. However, It would come at a price. The computers in my phone and digital cameras already do that for me. I can set them to fully automatic mode and…
