“I really miss 4×5 – it’s beautiful. The slowing down of the process; taking time to make a composition, lining things up, doing Polaroids (I love that smell – I wish they made a men’s fragrance).”
Taekn from the end of this post.
Well, that was fun.
Lots of work. Not a great deal of reward. A lot learned. A few friends made. LOTS of time wasted.
Photography, I need a rest.
Thanks for all the kind words over the several years.
Time to get on with my life.
Bye.
So I modified a Kodak No. 2A Folding Autographic Brownie so that it would take Fuji instant film. Lots of electrical tape and a few tests later I worked out the 3 fstop settings and the basic focal lengths. I’ve not shot a lot with it yet but as it’s a bellows camera a thought occurred to me while trying to shot with it this weekend. If I could some how take the thing off it’s rails I might be able to twist the lens around a bit and get something different. So I now have a very random tilt shift lens. Took several shots to get one steady enough to use.
One from the archives while I take time out to process a bunch of pics I took the other week.
Shot in Shinjuku during the rainy season I guess. Provia 400x pushed to 1600 as always.
A shot from the mini world series from tha archives. This one has not seen the light of day yet.
Shot (like usual) on the way to work.
This particular shot I like because of the light on her face and the softness of the shot in general. Difficult to find in stations.
