Her Grandmother and I could not have been more proud, and I am still just as proud of her. If her grandmother was alive today she would be the biggest encourager.

My photowalk of October 3, 2024 in Lyon, France, with my French SLR camera Focaflex (see camera details below).
I used a Rollei RPX 100 36-exposure negative film. The film is based on the formula of former Agfa APX100. Though made in UK, it has however nothing related to Kentmere Pan 100. The developing times are rather differents. Rollei RPX 100 is a regular panchromatic film coated on a traditional cellulose tri-acetate base. It was exposed for 100 ISO using an Autometer III Minolta lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.
Outdoor, the lens was fitted with a 42mm push-on yellow filter and indoor or in low-light condition with a FOCA AUV filter. The Genaco cylindrical steel shade-hood was used systematically.

Text of a speech in Latin that the emperor Claudius (41-54) gave in 48, in Rome, before the assembly of the Senate. The emperor intervened on behalf of the Gallic notables, who had submitted a request to obtain the same rights as those of Roman citizens, in particular that of being able to access Roman magistracies and the Senate. The discovery of this text, at the probable location of the federal sanctuary of the Three Gauls, where it was to be displayed, suggests that they won their case.
Emperor Claudius was born in Lyon in 10 BC. In his speech, he defends the integration of foreigners into the Roman Empire. The original text, written in a rather pompous style and containing several digressions, has often been compared with the account that the historian Tacitus gave of this episode (Annales XI, 23-25), reported in a more concise manner and in a literary style.
Recent studies conducted by the Tribology Laboratory of the École Centrale de Lyon indicate that the text was first engraved in wax, then molded and cast in bronze. Retouching was then carried out by direct engraving in the metal.
CIL XIII 1668
After exposure, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal developper at the 1+25 dilution for 9min at 20°C . The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivo Y76 color pictures.
About the camera: this French SLR Focaflex was manufactured likely in 1960 by Optique & Précision de Levallois (OPL), France, in its factory of Châteaudun, Eure.
The Focaflex was released in 1958 and sold to the public from 1959 to 1964 in three different versions (Focaflex Automatic and Focaflex II) , the year where OPL stopped its camera activities. The Focaflex is equipped with a fixed lens OPLAR-COLOR (4 lenses, Tessar type) 1:2.8 f=5 cm with a central shutter. The obvserved image through the lens is not obtained by the use of a regular pentaprism but a simple prism and the use of a 45° semi-transparent mirror and the a second mirror located it the bottom of the camera. This complex solution for a SLR was likely chosen as a sort of demonstrator of the OPL company capability to design very complex camera's...
The Focaflex became "famous" in a sense after the Gérard Oury's movie "Le Corniaud" with André Bourvil and Louis de Funés (1965) where Antoine Maréchal used hardly the Focaflex for his Italy tour and the Cadillac car.
This camera came with its everready case, a shade hood with +1 diopter (possibly of the Genaco brand), and a Foca AUV 42 mm filter, the three accessories in a small leather box (non Foca).

This was taken from the first film I've ever developed myself. I'm quite pleased with the results following minimal contrast/sharpness boost in Lightroom.

Ground breaking and tour of the construction site of the Skilled Nursing Residence, in Edgartown, on the island of Martha's Vineyard, in Dukes County, MA, on August 5, 2024.
(Excercpted from NavigatorHomes.org)
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved a $44.5 M loan to Navigator Homes of Martha’s Vineyard to develop a new Skilled Nursing Residence for 70 island elders. This new Navigator skilled nursing home, which will be built in Edgartown, will be the successor to the Windemere nursing home currently located on the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital campus in Oak Bluffs.
Navigator Homes of Martha’s Vineyard is a 501c3 non-profit selected by Martha’s Vineyard Hospital to develop a replacement nursing home on the island. Navigator Homes has been working with the island officials since 2020 to advance the planning and design of this project.
Paddy Moore, a key advocate for elders on Martha’s Vineyard, and a Navigator Board member, stated: “The USDA loan is an exciting event in the lives of Martha’s Vineyard’s older adults and their families, and has been a long time coming. Building on work done by Healthy Aging MV, Navigator Homes has been working in partnership with MV Hospital to find the best way to care for elders when they can no longer care for themselves; this project is for all those elders who helped build the Vineyard community into what it is today. The new Green House model nursing home will enable Island elders to receive care on-island, rather than going off-island when the existing Windemere closes. The USDA loan brings our ten-year dream significantly closer to reality and gives us reason for great celebration!”
The USDA loan application and approval process has been underway for the better part of two years. There is a national competition for the USDA Community Facility Funds. The approved funds for the Martha’s Vineyard project were the result of a combined effort of islanders, the USDA Rural Development Southern New England Office (USDA-RD serving CT, MA & RI), led by USDA-RD Southern New England State Director Scott Soares, and Massachusetts federal and state elected officials. Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey, and Massachusetts Representatives Bill Keating and Jim McGovern played key roles in advocating for this much needed project for the Martha’s Vineyard elders.
“Martha’s Vineyard’s reputation as a vacation destination often clouds the reality that it is nonetheless comprised of a Tribal and rural communities with multi-generational families who support a year-round economy.” said Scott Soares. “We are proud of this investment of a $36 million direct loan and an $8.5 million guaranteed loan that will support the island’s community members and the community characteristics that make Martha’s Vineyard so unique.”
Senator Ed Markey remarked that “Martha’s Vineyard elders deserve quality care that is both available and accessible on the island. The USDA loan announced today is welcome news and a vital sign that long term care for the Vineyard’s elders will continue uninterrupted, with new, innovative residences. I am proud of our shared efforts to make this vision a reality for our elders.”
Congressman Bill Keating added his congratulations, noting, “I am excited to see that the hard work of the team at Navigator Homes of Martha’s Vineyard has been recognized by the USDA. This $44.5 million dollar loan from the USDA represents a significant step forward for this vital project that will ensure that nursing home care can continue on-island for future generations, and I look forward to continuing to support this project as it moves forward.”
Navigator Homes is seeking donations to complete this project. The USDA funding provides $44.5 M for the project. Navigator has received over $2.3 M in private donations to date. The Navigator campaign still needs an additional $2.9 M, to draw down on the USDA loan. Pending regulatory approvals, construction will begin in 2023 and open in 2024.
