A piece of pill packaging placed on photo-sensitive paper and exposed to light for 7 seconds, in a dark room. Part of a series of pieces focusing on the visual motifs related to medication, and the general public's lack of understanding about how their bodies work. Instantly recognisable as a blister-pack of pills, but blurred and distorted to represent this sense of ignorance - It is only slightly transparent.
Pill packaging, Photo-sensitive Paper.
This is just one photo of the full photographic narrative of this day hike to Papakōlea Green Sand Beach on the southern coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. Although completely exposed with absolutely no opportunity for shade, this hike is strikingly beautiful throughout its course.
What is a photographic narrative?
My definition: “A sequence of photos deliberately arranged to follow a character or set of characters over time”.
This is different from how I see the term used the majority of the time, in that it usually seems to refer to a collection of photos which, when displayed juxtaposed, demonstrate some theme or concept. To me, this is not a story. To me, a story must follow a character or set of characters, and must have a temporal dimension. And this is what I attempt to capture in my photographic narratives. When displayed in sequence, these photos allow the viewer to follow the events of a story as they unfold over time, almost like a collection of stills from a movie.

This is my first trial of the Ferrania film P30, Lyon, France, on April 22 and 24, 2024.
I used my French FOCA camera type « PF3 » or ***, made in Châteaudun, Eure, France, year 1954. The OPLAR normal lens was equipped with a 42mm push-on FOCA (France) AUV filter plus a generic metal cylindric shade hood.
The film Ferrania P30 ("P" for Panchromatic and "30" 30° Scheiner Eu.) is produced again since several years following the original formula from the 50's in Cairo Montenotte (Savone, Lugura, Italia) in the former R&D center of Ferrania equipped with a production unit used originaly for film prototyping. Ferrania P30 is known to have a high contain of silver halides leading to quite contrasted negatives. It was used throughly for motion pictures in 1950's.
The film was exposed for 80 ISO following the recommandation of Ferrania. Expositions were determined using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The weather was a cloudy and windy in the afternoon giving typical exposure from 1/100s to f/9 outdoor. Indoor, I used the 1/60s and larger lens apertures.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (= Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+50, 20°C for 14min according the technical information from Ferrania.
The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printing framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens:
This French FOCA camera type « PF3 » or ***, was made in Châteaudun, Eure, France, year 1954.
I got the set from a French dealer on eBay , including the camera and its normal lens OPLAR 1:2.8 f=5cm, a rare ever-ready bag Ref 120-503 « Luxe » with a upper compartment for three 42mm push-on filters. The bag is made of a pork leather and was in 1950 three times more expensive than a normal ever-ready bag. The set also included a FOCA view finder covering the field of a 3,5cm focal lens in its original grey and rd small FOCA box, a soft neoprene FOCA hood, three 42mm FOCA filters yellow x2.5, green x3.5, and orange x4. The kit also included a (used?) roll of Kodachrome-64 (DX-coded canister).
According to the serial number in 401.xxx, this PF3 should be a model-1 (version 5 or 6).
The camera was used very carefully and has been probably well serviced in the past. The OPLAR normal lens 1:2.8 f=5cm is a model-3 version-3 from 1954 too with the "ECD/9" diaphragm graduation 2.8...3.5...9....18.
The camera was originally sold to its first owner by « Photo-Plait » in Paris, France, one of the most important photo store, founded in 1910 and editing a well-know catalog of camera's for mail-order selling in France and overseas. Then the camera could have been sold either in the Photo-Plait store, 35-39, rue Lafayette, Paris 9ème or by mail-order selling.
When I first detailed the camera, I soon realized that it is almost pristine with very little signs of a very careful use. All functions works flawlessly, including the slow shutter speeeds and the shutter curtains are as new. The view finder and range finder are very clear and contrasted as the day 1. The lens is also very nice condition.
The FOCA PF3 is essentially the same camera as the type PF2B (PF for "Petit Format") constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) starting from 1947. The difference lies in the built-in slow speed mechanism giving 1/10s, 1/5s, 1/2s and 1s exposition times, plus the T-mode. It was manufactured in the Châteaudun OPL factory, route de Jallans, France. The factory, constructed in 1938, is still at the same place under the name of SAFRAN now producing precision devices for aerospace appliances.
I'm nothing without Him. My Lord and my savior. He revealed to me all that i have done and stripped me of it and gave me peace. He showed me Grace and forgiveness and the joys of being His child. He showed me true Love through the cross and gave me a purpose. He is my life, my Love, my savior my everything. He is far greater then anything in this world. He is my Lord Jesus Christ
I have been EXPOSED to the full Grace of Jesus Christ again today at Wild Fire youth rally as well as last weekend at youth camp ^_^ He is a man who knew everything that we would do and loved us regardless. Loved us enough to die for all of us
"come see a man who told me everything i ever did. Could this be the Christ?"

This early example of colonial vernacular dwelling was found in extreme decay. The roof collapsed many years ago. We were able to pull out some oak posts, beams and rafters along with some hard pine floor boards and oak wall planking. It's was a 3/4 cape with a three room plan. The interior was found to be exposed framing and planking whitewashed up to about 1840 when they wall papered over the planking. Some time after 1870 the interior was finished with chair railing, lath and plaster and painted. We did not find any doors, mantels or raised paneling. This was a very modest and primitive dwelling. The chimney stack is impressive. The cap is cut stone with 5 cut stone fire boxes. The cooking fire box has a white oak lintel and a stone bake oven. The foundation is stone with a cut stone cap. The stone was laid up in brown clay, very soft. We are going to measure, letter and save this beautiful stack and foundation. Contact me if you are interested in this project. I will have other salvage projects coming up.
