My title feels like part of one of those riddles in the I Spy Books, which finishes “Monkey pants and a pear Sangria”. Yes I did see all of those things, and more. This week I finished a roll from the cemetery trip in October with the Meetup people. The roll of Ilford HP5 was still in…
This week I shot a roll of film that I souped months ago and then forgot about. I also completed a full roll of double exposures which I shot on the Nikon N65. Both were shot at cemeteries (by now you’re all beginning to wonder about me….). Let’s start with the souped film. I’ve got…
i just realized how badly behind I am since the photos I’m posting are from early November. I’d better hurry or I’m going to pass myself going into 2017 and be completely confused. I’m going to post two oddball sets of film that worked their way into this time frame. As usual I was carrying…
As mentioned in the last post I also took my nearly new Ondu pinhole with me on the cemetery outing. I used it with color film for the first time -a roll of expired Kodak Gold 200 just expired in 2012. I am really excited about these color images. I need to find time to…
Seriously, people. I can’t believe I’m posting week 40 (and I’m about 4 weeks behind). What happened to the year? While I haven’t stuck to all my goals for the year, I have learned to use and love a few new cameras, and managed to shoot more film than I might otherwise have done, given…
In my last post, I shared some sights from a trip to downtown Los Angeles. What I didn’t share was the mishap that occurred on the way there. To be brief, I experienced serious car trouble with my not-that-old car. Since we were on a mission to get my son’s work visa, I managed to…
We had our first snow of the season this weekend so I rushed out to one of my favorite spots while the light was still good and before the snow began to melt or get trampled. It was a very quiet place Sunday morning, with only a few footprints to be seen. I had one…
Another new-to-me camera is tested this week, this time a Canon AE-1 Program. The camera was a gift from a friend and colleague. I saw the camera in use a few years ago on field projects in Gwaii Haanas; it probably even took pictures of me at work. In fact, I think it was one of those…
A few weeks back now I started this roll of film and only recently finished it off so it gets counted as my 24th roll even though some of the shots date back 8 weeks or so. These were taken when Melinda Green Harvey was visiting me from Texas. This link is to a…
In week 8 I mentioned there’s a cemetery near my house, that I like to visit. I went there again in week 46. The reason why I like to visit, is the fact that it looks more like a park than a cemetery. Especially during the fall, the trees look beautiful, with all kinds of…
In week 29 I visited my parents. I decided to take my Realitysosubtle 4×5 pinhole camera with me. For a while, I’ve wanted to take photos at the cemetery in the street I grew up in. It’s not a very big cemetery and most of the old graves I found interesting when I was young…
I bought a few rolls of Fuji CDU II from the Film Photography Project Store and finally got around to using one of them. We walked to Oak Hill Cemetery on a bright, sunny day and searched for interesting statuary and gravestones. I have to admit that I was somewhat disappointed with Oak Hill. Sadly I…
