This picture is #16 in the 100 Strangers Project - Round 3
Meet Mavae
As amazing as it is to find strangers to pose for you on the street, its even more so when your stranger has great style, superb complexion and make-up like she stepped out for a photo shoot. And I was definitely in luck to find Mavae for my 100 Strangers project, just as I was grabbing lunch at a Lebanese restaurant when I saw her walk past outside. Needless to say, her sense of dressing as well as her make-up looked like she was out for a photoshoot. By the time I rushed out she was nowhere in sight - but then luckily I saw her waiting to pickup her order in a adjoining restaurant. Walking in, I made my request and to my relief Mavae agreed although she had only about 5 minutes before having to go for an appointment.
Mavae (I understand is a Irish name) works in the pharmaceutical industry specifically with mental health and hopes to someday run her own business. Her favorite quality of herself is her empathetic nature which somehow didn't surprise me much, given the soft spoken kindness she exuded. A memory she remembered- a few years when she had bought a one way ticket to El Salvador and the great time she had there.
We stepped out and tried a few spots to test the light before settling for a few pics. Mavae was a complete natural obviously photogenic and relaxed on camera. She even sportingly opened her hair based on my request which completely changed her personality I'd say.
Thank you Mavae for being such a sport and doing these pictures - it was great fun indeed. If you stop by and would like a copy of the pics please drop me a note. All the very best to you both for all that the future holds.

Found in the pines around the campsite, which incidentally is totally full (no one goes to morocco anymore). They are however very twitchy and full of stealth, just like their north european cousins.

i love taking the grimm out to swim. it's great for conditioning and uses up some of the surplus energy she always seems to have.
i also love a good wet dog shake and wanted a picture of it. however, she simply must shake all over me and won't let me get back far enough for the shot i want. guess i'll keep working on it and in the meantime, i enjoyed the blue color contrasting with the red from her line and the kaleidoscope effect of all the spray here. it was fun, even if this is the best i've got so far.

The Minolta 16 II (1960) features shutter speeds from 1/30 to 1/500 plus B and a 4 element Rokkor lens with aperture ranges from f2.8 to f16.
The focus is fixed at 2,8 meter (9 ft.) witch means that the sharpness is controlled with the dept of field and the apperture settings.
The film advance and shutter cocking is done by a telescopic movement with the camera body. The camera sports flash synchronization through a PC flash connector which makes it useable with many modern electronic flash units.
It makes 10x14mm frames on 16mm film in dedicated Minolta film cassettes. If you cut the film length to approx 45 cm you will get 20 exposures plus a few more on each film strip.
Any longer film strips than about 50 cm may cause space problems as the take up side of the cassette is a tight fit. The frame counter maxes out at 20 pictures anyway (it counts down from 20 to E) but you can still take more pictures.
Today your options film-wise is limited to cut your own film from 120 or 135 size down to 16mm - or buy 16mm (movie) film.
Eastman Double X 7222 is a good option if you like BW film. The Film Photography Project - FPP - in New Jersey sell this film in practical 7,6 meter (25 ft.) length on daylight reels in their web shop. This equals about 15 film rolls of 20 + exposures each. I have tried this and can recomend it.
You will also find the 16mm Eastman Double-X 7222 film in canned 30 meter movie reels (100 ft.) or 122 meter canned movie reels (400 ft.) on eBay or other marked places.
Don't expect your 16mm pictures to be technically perfect. In fact, expect the oposite. Grain, dust specks, strikes and scratches is a part of the deal when shooting this type of cameras.

Amtrak's northbound "Crescent" is coming through the interlocking at Burke, Virginia behind Phase 1 heritage unit 156. Change will come soon to this location; the new, PTC-compliant signals are in place, and awaiting the cutover which will remove the former Southern Railway 'boxcar' signal bridge behind the new installation.

If you know me even a little, you know that one of my favorite places on the planet is Lombard, Montana. That includes Sixteen Mile Creek Canyon. Here we are looking west up the canyon and down on Milwaukee Road's Tunnel No. 9. Up the canyon, two bridges over Sixteen Mile Creek, and a bit of the bridge over the NP/BN/MRL and the Missouri River can be seen. Way in the distance, Montana Rail Link's eastbound 840 Helena Local approaches Lombard. I would give my left Kidney to have photographed the Milwaukee through here.

An old one.
Yes, it's real and alive.
Yes, I took the photo.
No, it's not shopped.
A combination of an average dynamic range camera plus lighting conditions (the goose was in direct sunlight, the background in shade), plus a beautiful lens.
