Weeks 34 – 42: Everyday New Orleans

The following may sound like an excuse, but seriously it isn’t. There are just way too many photos from my summer in New Orleans (60+rolls all medium format) to choose my favourites for a weekly posting.  In an effort to cause myself as little pain as possible you have this massive summary of nine weeks.…

4×5 at Rattlesnake Lake

A friend gave me a Calumet view camera recently.   Yesterday, I and some friends went to nearby Rattlesnake Lake (near North Bend, WA) to shoot some 4×5. Jana had her TravelWide.   Sean had a Speed Graphic, and Dave had a Wista knock-off. The lake is low these days, so the very old stumps are above…

Going away party for a friend

A friend of mine comes to stay in Seattle for a few months out of the year, then goes back to London.    This was his going-away meetup. I was shooting with a Pentax67 (the black & white photos here), and a Zenit with the Helios 44 lens. Good times!  Now he’s back in London, and…

A few more from Eastern Washington

Just getting around to so much of the film I shot this summer. Here’s a roll from one of the 2 road trips I took to see abandoned houses in Eastern Washington. I was using a Fuji GA645Wi and a red filter. This is 2 different houses. I went back a month later and shot…

Signing Out

To all of the participants in 52 Rolls.  I am signing out of the project.  I have thoroughly enjoyed participating and having he opportunity to see the incredible work of others dedicated to film photography.   Since my first signing on the site has become inundated with advertisements and it has taken the shine off of…

Rolls 24 and 26 More of My Town

I started the “My Town” project as a way to keep myself interested for the year, but it has turned into a thing for me. I have already documented numerous homes that are no longer there, at first by accident and then, more recently, I’ve been searching for likely candidates. Anyway to speed up the…

Roll 23 Dog Days

This camera has been one of my medium format favorites. However mine was at the doctor for such a long time I almost forgot about it even after I got it back. This roll dates from mid summer when I decided the only way to shoot this camera was to just take it out and…

11/52 What’s Swap Doc?

This roll of film began its journey in New Zealand in the hands of my friend Kali.  She has had a great influence on my photography, though I haven’t actually put the influence into practice!  It is more of a mindset of shedding the fear of taking chances through the lens.  This was great fun.…
