Polaroid SX-70 – SOWA – Boston, MA
Lately I have been having fun experimenting with different cameras and different film. I find that when I am shooting with an older camera I am less concerned about getting a “good shot” – whatever that means – and I get absorbed in the moment being more aware of the process of taking photos rather [...]
Testing, Testing – Boston, MA
Testing, Testing… A couple of weeks ago, during the trials and tribulations of pinhole camera design I was concerned that the problem I was having was not really the camera design, but the developing process. So I loaded my camera up with a roll of film and went out to see how quickly I could [...]
Brook-to-the-Lyn – Brooklyn, NY
I went for a walk around Park Slope in Brooklyn with my sister, my Yashica-mat 124G, and a couple of rolls of expired Fuji slide film (Fujichrome RMS 100/1000 and Provia 100). This camera is so much fun. Thanks for stopping by. Come again soon. If you would like to receive an email when I [...]
Susu’s Birthday Party – Cambridge, MA
A couple of weeks ago we put on our dancin’ shoes and headed to Cambridge for Susu’s birthday party. The party had a 70’s and 80’s theme. So for those of you who know me, you understand that there is little chance I would get dressed up in a “costume”, but I figured I would [...]
IMPOSSIBLE – New York, NY
Last weekend I went down to Brooklyn to see my sister and a few of my friends who have ended up living either Brooklyn or Manhattan. I had a great time. It is always nice to see my sister and spend time with friends that I have not seen in way too long. And since [...]
Boston/Cambridge – Pinholed
(Above) Massachusetts Avenue Bridge going from Boston to Cambridge. The river was frozen and you can see the cracked ice in the shoadow of the bridge. In the distance you can see the buildings on the MIT campus. A couple of weeks ago I saw a video on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/39578584) about Ian Ruhter, a photographer [...]
Bird Watching in SOWA – Boston, MA
A few weeks I went out for a walk with my new (to me) TLR camera; I have not written about it much yet. It is a 1970’s TLR that uses medium format film and produces 6×6 negatives (or positives if you prefer slide film). I will write more about the camera later, but for [...]
Haymarket – Boston, MA
Early in January I went on a short photowalk in Boston’s North End. I decided to make things interesting so I didn’t bring my digital camera and just shot with film. Of course the problem with that strategy is that I didn’t finish the roll, and it took weeks for me to get it developed. [...]
Some Funny Situations – St. John USVI
Continuing on the “better late than never” theme, here are some more photos from our Christmas vacation in St. John. Not only do you have to drive a car with the driver’s side on the left on the left side of the road, but you have to look out for all sorts of things crossing [...]
St. John, USVI – The Scenery
You know what they say, right? Better late than never. Well here goes… This Christmas my family decided to do something completely different. Rather than spending the holidays in NJ like I have done for the past 30-something years, we went on an adventure. We rented a villa in Coral Bay on St. John in [...]
