Have I mentioned I love summer lately? Well, I do. We spent eight hours outside today- the girls playing tea party, me weeding the garden (Oy!), eating breakfast and lunch on the quilt. Delightful. Now we are inside, cooling off..watching snow white and me cooking pasta for dinner. pretty great.
Film bug finally got to me late last november. Thankfully I've been collecting film cameras for 15 years so I had plenty of gear lying around to test. In the past 6 weeks, I've developed over 20 rolls of film at home, mostly 120 film, some 35mm rolls, both b&w and color. This frame was shot with Mamiya 7 II with the 65mm f/4 lens. Ilford HP5 film. Scanned with Negative.supply film holder and a Canon EOS R5 w/100mm 2.8 Macro.
Cartoon and comic book movie standees at Regal Theater, Alexandria, VA. Inc. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men and Captain America as well as Finding Dory from Pixar.
This morning I awoke to the wonderful surprise of 1018 views on my photo stream.
I just wanted to give a huge thanks to every single person that viewed even one of my photos.
Every time someone views/favorites/comments one of my pictures, it means so much to me. Everything artwork I make and every picture I take has a little bit of my character in it. As I consider myself still very new to Flickr, I'm immeasurably happy how much of a reaction I've had.
At this point my most popular work is still the Catastrophe collage.
I'd also love it if you could comment where you find my photos.
If anyone has any ideas for small art or photography projects for me, please feel free to tell me;
i'm always looking for a challenge!
Infinite thanks,
Savvy

It works great! I put a piece of 120 backing paper through it. It loads into my 127 film reels just fine. The hardest part for me was figuring out which of 6 sizes of coupling nuts to use. I settled on 1/4"-20. Got the machine screws to match in 1/2" and 1-1/4" (those are the lengths) and 1/4" washers. The camera is a Peony tlr. The space across the opening is 2 inches. It's got a metal body, which I thought might make it stronger. It's important to put the exacto blade tip below the level of the camera door.
Note: after using this to cut film I notice it's a tiny bit narrower than the efke 127. I filed the upper nut down some, maybe 1/32 inch, but it wasn't enough to make any difference. The film fits fine in my camera (ferrania rondine) and plastic developing reels. Here and here are the first two photos from the slitter.
Another Note: The inside of the Peony tapers a bit - so the chamber is a little narrow. I'm going to try a Traveler 120 next - it has a metal body and is about 2 3/8 inches wide on the inside. The Eagle Eye 120 also has a metal film chamber. I'm also thinking I need to change the angle of the exacto blade - I notice derevaun's is more vertical. I cut 4 rolls of film, and seem to need a fresh blade already. My last roll came through okay, but it was hard to turn the knob. The paper tore near the end because it was piling up in front of the blade. The film came through okay though. I had to open the camera/slitter in a dark bag and transfer the film to the 127 reel immediately.
edit: I now use a film slitter from this place www.subclub.org/sponsors/goathil2.htm
I got mine on ebay. It works better for me.
Art Basel Miami
Miami Beach, Florida
So this past weekend me and my neighbor drove down to Miami for this years addition of Art Basel (art MIAMI, Photo MIAMI, Art Asia, and SCOPE) I had a blast walking thew the 4 exhibits. SCOPE probably had to be my favorite, because contemporary art is my backbone, its really original and very interesting to look at . Take a look at the website to get a feel of what was there. www.scope-art.com/Index.php/miami/
I was really happy with some of the shots I got, kind of a different style I'm used to, but I can't stay the same for ever right?
