Sophie and Powder Snow

Amid the shadows from the old wheelbarrow and the sage surrounding the back patio, Sophie and little Powder Snow enjoy a bit of bright, early morning winter sun.

 

Camera: Argus Minca 28 (1947-1948, with two-element 47mm Lumar f/9.7 lens, www.flickr.com/photos/99085049@N05/21091867129/in/photoli...). A sleek little post-war bakelite camera for 828 film which was the simpler successor to the pre-war Argus Model M. The Model M (1939-1940) had a slightly faster lens (f/6.3 Anastigmat Triplet) and the ability to shoot half-frame as well as full-frame, but was handicapped by the lack of 828 film production during the war. Both cameras were similar to the Argus A series, but with a more streamlined shape.

 

Film: 828 Verichrome Pan (expired 1975), exposed at EI 25, developed in Arista Liquid Developer (1+9) for 5:15 minutes @ 70 degrees, and scanned with an Epson V600 scanner..
