Raindrop
This is one of the odder raindrop photos I’ve taken. It’s like the branch is made of raindrops. Nikon F3HP, Fuji Superia X-tra 400, ECN-2 development.

Dizzy Context
Shot this one on film with the Hasselblad 500cm. It has a wider lens than the GFX, so you can see more of the context in which it appears. Shot on Kodak Ektachrome Plus Pro 100 (expired early 2000s), developed in HC-110 Dilution A and ECN-2 chems as a positive.

Dizzy
This pattern on a pavilion in Liberty Square Park in Asbury Park caught my eye. You are getting very sleepy….

Mess
The film transport in my Contax III is strong. So strong that when it reaches the end of the roll, it just keeps going, and going, and going, giving no indication that it’s the end. Hence this frame, with maybe 5 or 6 exposures. Kirkland Signature 200 (Agfa, expired 2002) ECN-2

Seagulls Will Eat Your Food
I had lunch at Moby’s Lobster Hut last week. Took the Kiev 88cm with me while testing my backs. They all had light leaks. I still like these two photos and think they need to be seen together. Fomapan 400, Rodinal 1:50.

Here’s the tintype (vinyltype?) we had made this morning.
You can find Courtney, who made this, at timetravelerphotography.com. Our friend Vanessa, who assisted, is at armadillotintype.com.
My friend Vanessa and her friend Courtney are making tintypes at Trinity Church in Asbury Park today, either on black aluminum or, and this is so cool, on 45 rpm singles. Absolutely love the 45s. We got one of us.

I have no idea what these are for. This is in the parking lot for Bahr’s restaurant. Kiev 88cm, Arsat 30mm f/3.5 lens, HP5+, Rodinal 1:50 in an AGO film processor.

I love this building. It used to be a Howard Johnson’s restaurant on the boardwalk in Asbury Park. It’s a much better restaurant now. Pentax 67, Kodak Portra 160NC in 220 (expired February 2009), ECN-2 development.

Construction Zone
I may have a new-to-me Hasselblad 500cm, but I also have a couple of Kiev 88cms that have lenses I’ll never get for the Hasselblad (*cough* 30mm fisheye *cough*). I went out yesterday to test my four film backs for light leaks.
