What light through yon window breaks? Hey, it's the sun! Had some great natural light in the office today. Took five minutes to sunbathe a few older beauties.

This is Nell, whom is terrified of cameras. When I approach she always comes running wagging her tail but turns and flees when she realises I am carrying my camera bag.

The light was amazing the other morning when I took this.Coupled with where the flare happened to be made me happy.
It started as a thought, a small niggle that just wouldn't go away. What would shooting with film be like? We've been totally digital in this house since 2003 and when I started this doing-it-seriously thing I was dismissive of it. But in learning more about photography I started to realise a few things.
The picture one takes is inextricably bound to the thought processes of what you are doing in that moment. If you change that equation with kit you will change the thought processes and the pictures. I am used to going out the door and getting 200 pictures. If I am forced to think more with only 36 chances to make something good, at 50p per chance, with a fixed lens, with manual focus, with a manual rangefinder, with no chimping and a fortnight until I can see the result - will it change my brain?
I was also thinking about how contrast, grain and colour in photographs make up our syntax of how we interpret photography. Like when we hear someone's accent, the words they say are made to mean more than they are by the interpretation of what that accent means. The syntax of photography is completely wound up in how film has rendered images, and not knowing what that means leaves me floundering. We spend hours fiddling with sliders and curves, applying filters but I'm not sure most of us know what it means. Sometimes I think we are squawking like a parrot that has managed to pick up a few phrases of tourist human.
I was interested in medium format with a Mamiya 6, but I feel it is too expensive as a proof of concept. I thought about Leicas and Voigtlanders but again it was too much of a leap of faith. I thought about a Nikon FE but I thought an SLR would just lead me to think it was my usual Nikon and I'd behave in the same way.
So for virtually no money I give you an immaculate Olympus 35 RC. It feels solid and it is dirt simple. The battery will last for ages and it won't get dust on the sensor. Hopefully when I pick it up I will see the world in a different way again and, most importantly, maybe take a good picture.
I have no idea what I'm doing again and it feels great.

3 days of intense work to make this huge panorama of Cologne, Germany's fourth-largest city. This is a 360 degrees view, I tried to get as many details as possible, sometimes repainting different parts of the cityscape. The original composition is really big (almost 20.000 pixels wide!) because I assembled more than 30 photos. I took all of them when I was in Germany 2 weeks ago... (FYI, I didn't use any autopano or fisheye).
More facts: The city's famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Cologne. The University of Cologne (Universität zu Köln) is one of Europe's oldest universities.
Cologne is a major cultural center of the Rhineland and has a vibrant arts scene. Cologne is home to more than 30 museums and hundreds of galleries. Exhibitions range from local ancient Roman archeological sites to contemporary graphics and sculpture. The Cologne Trade Fair hosts a number of trade shows such as Art Cologne, imm Cologne International Furniture Fair and the Photokina. Cologne is also well-known for its celebration of Cologne Carnival, the annual reggae summerjam, and Cologne Gay Pride.
Within Germany, Cologne is also known as an important media center. Several radio and television stations, including Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), RTL and VOX, have their headquarters in the city.
Thanks a lot for your kind comments.

Just got back into that disc of portraits with my and my then new baby. No longer blond, but the BW bender suggested I needed to play. And she does make me smile like that a lot... Taken by the divine Jake Shivery of Blue Moon Camera, Portland, OR.
What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new.
Right now.

Got given this camera yesterday! Not sure about it so i think will look up on the internet, its film and doesnt have any controls apart from winding on. It is a bit plasticy but dont know how old it is. I also got given a polaroid land camera - not as pretty!! The beads are from a collection of my grandmothers (probably from the eighties!) Vintage 1 texture used by Skeletal Mess to. I think I will be using this camera in lots of compositions!
Available as a 12x6 art print at Etsy www.etsy.com/listing/89299926/fine-art-photography-12x6-p...
Downsizing my collection lately. A good purge can be healthy and liberating. I decided I will most certainly keep this Argus A3 and it's surgically altered twin, the CC (color camera). Not known for either outstanding optics or build quality, the brutal streamlined industrial design of the pair easily overcomes their shortcomings; allowing them to remain on display.
left to right: Canon F-1 (1971), Canon TX (1975), Canon AE-1 (1976), & Canon A-1 (1977) cameras all with FD lenses (all 50mm except on the A-1, which is a 28mm).
Taken with a Canon 5DmkIII with a 50mm f1.4 lens.
I lost this on my birthday in July. Cammie came up to me a couple weeks ago and says "Here Mommy". And boom, there is my Camera necklace out of nowhere
my mom found what she thinks is my great uncle's old argus camera in her cupboard, and she gave it to me. I am shooting a roll to try it out and see if it works.
My friend Dee took the photograph :)
Strobist info:

Olympus E-M5 camera to (scan) digitize negative
Olden Camera in Manhattan was founded in 1947 by brothers Kurt and Wigo Olden. This camera store specialized in hard-to-find #film cameras and supplies. We loved visiting this store and were especially fond of ifs oversize #neonsign. In 1970 Olden Camera arranged to sell the very last Stereo Realist cameras f2.8 that used standard 135 film. They continued selling these cameras under their own name for six years making them the last place one could purchase these odd cameras. We can't remember exactly when this shop near Macy's and Herald Square closed but our 35mm photo of the entire #storefront with this amazing #neon was taken in 2004 and appears in our book "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York". We definitely wish we could have somehow saved and displayed this gorgeous neon sign! Please let us know if you remember this store and what you purchased there and if you know what happened to that huge neon #camera!
