Huey
A crop from a Mamiya shot; hp5+, Microphen. Huey was happily pickin’ as I walked past him in Suburban Station on the evening of January 5th. I was impressed. While…

Out of Order
A couple of weeks ago, I was in Jim Thorpe, PA with a number of the Philly Photobloggers. This shot came from that morning, in what used to be East…

Velociraptor Jake
Ilford HP5+, Microphen. This shot was rescued from a roll that I terribly over-developed (… apparently 18 minutes at 75 degrees is too long for EI 12500). Back story: Jake…

Riverside Church Over Blizzard Detritus
From New Years in Edgewater, NJ – where they got about two feet of snow just before the new year. Piled up wonderfully against the Hudson River. HP5+, Xtol. (Contrast…

Harvest Festival Hayfight
Finally catching up on a boatload of scanning, and I keep finding stuff I like. Like this one of Jake and me having a hayfight at the Harvest Festival a…

He watched the Earth fly past.
From the old to the new! I’ve been slowly stepping through cameras of the 20th century – 1930s and 40s Voigtländers, 1950s Ricohs. Well, my two Ricoh Diacords failed while…

Southern German Meets Center City Chic
Ilford HP5, ei400. Obviously, this is a crop of a 6×6 (given that it’s from the Diacord L). It works much better in this aspect ratio than its original. I…

Standing, he compared their fancy footwear.
Ilford HP5+, ei400. Last night my highest-precision thermometer died. Alas, no color development without it. Will have to order another (wanted to do that anyway). Fortunately my cameras are currently…

Conscientious
Yes, yes, back to the B&W. I have a few nice color shots I’d like to post, but I’m also working on a new series and would like to finish…

People were oblivious to the light.
Has photography made me more observant? I wonder at that as I see beautiful sky-scapes like this one, and then seethe folks on the same train I’m on looking at…

Through the rain, the house stood.
HP5+, EI 800. This was during the “Month Of Many Floods,” also known as “Jorj Almost Builds An Ark But Instead Digs A Sump Pit.” While it’s not actually my…

Easter Bunny
Finally caught him! Yup, that’s the easter bunny all right. I’m sure it’s the same dude that plants all those eggs. HP5+, EI400.

Smokin’ and Drinkin’
Ilford HP5+, EI800. On the Diacord G, whose shutter froze on me today. I think I’ve unstuck it – something related to the flash select lever (M/X) is binding, but…

88th
Shot on Ilford HP5, EI 800, at the Jim Thorpe St. Patty’s Day parade. I’ll have a few more shots of these guys. The insignia on this guy’s backpack really…

Animated
Finally – some new material! And in droves. Last weekend was the annual St. Patty’s parade in Jim Thorpe, PA. This year I shot both film and digital, and have…

Monsoon Season
From Drexel’s campus yesterday morning. Seems like Monsoon Season is upon us in Philadelphia – an insane deluge is coming down right now, accompanied with hellacious winds. Our road and…

Travelers
Still working on framing with this camera; it’s a 1947 Bessa 66, and I find it more difficult to frame close-up shots than I do with the 1938 version. Hand-held…

Grunge Birthday
From today – a shot from my Voigtländer Brillant, a TLR-like camera from the early 1930s. As you can see, the film feedl is badly damaging the emulsion. You can’t…
