Shirley’s Car
I took some time to scan the negatives from another roll of 35mm film so expect to continue seeing more black and white images here in the upcoming days.
Innocence of Youth
A candid shot of a sweet little girl that I made during a recent family portrait session.
Studebaker and the City
Today’s image is scan of a print I made the other week with my beloved 1974 vintage folding Polaroid SX-70. The forty years of dust that has accumulated inside of the camera (that I refuse to clean for artistic reasons) is what gives these prints their beautiful vintage look.
A Quiet Afternoon
I’m back to posting more of my recent film images. Today’s image is from a scanned 35mm black and white negative.
Remembering Summer
35mm black and white film. As we enter the winter holiday season and the weather gets cold I thought I would post a reminder of warmer days.
True Grit
This is a scan of a 35mm negative I shot the other week that exhibits an extreme grain pattern. I have decided that I like the effect in this particular composition.
The Fish Market
35mm black and white film. A little patience paid off here. After buying some fresh red snapper and grouper filets here I waited outside with my camera knowing that eventually someone would stand in the right place inside and make a nice silhouette. As a lucky bonus the boat entered the left side of the frame at exactly the same time creating a nice balance with the light colored marina in the background on the right side of the frame.
Film Noir
When it comes to personal work I have been shooting good old-fashioned analog film a lot lately. Way more than digital. Almost all black and white and all with a variety of antique cameras: medium format, 35mm, and Polaroid. I finally had some time yesterday to scan several weeks worth of negatives and Polaroid prints so for the next week or two I will be posting some of the highlights here for you. Today’s entry was taken with a medium format camera at dusk in the park near where I live.
More Film
I posted images captured on film during my recent workshop in New Mexico all last week. I still have many more nice images on film that I made with the 3 film cameras I was using. (I used 6 cameras altogether on the trip, 3 film and 3 digital) For the time being I am continuing to post more of those images on film. This was made on medium format TMX 400 black and white film.
The Glass is Way More Than Half Full
Today’s image was taken with medium format Kodak TMAX black and white film.
Nature vs Photoshop
I got out of the truck to shoot in the woods and it started raining. My lens got wet and fogged over. I didn’t even consider wiping it off. Mother Nature came up with her own special effects and I decided to roll with it.
The Cottage and the Spooky Tree
I just developed another roll of film from the 1966 Mamiya. The negatives look terrific. This is the first scan from the roll.
Reverse Angle
The opposite view of the location pictured in yesterday’s post. Scanned negative from the Pentax ME Super.
20 Years Later
Same camera and lens as was used for the image that was posted here yesterday. This was taken the other day on T-MAX black and white film, twenty years after yesterday’s Ektachrome slide. Also of note, the camera was already 14 years old when I shot yesterday’s photo. I’m real happy that the old gear is holding up well and still producing such nice images. It’s a fun diversion for me to work with the old analog gear. It takes a lot more thought and patience to produce a good image than with modern digital equipment and I feel that it is a good mental exercise for me as well as being artistically rewarding.
