35mm, medium format, large format...today's interviewee takes it all in his stride, shooting developing and printing everything himself as he goes. Oh, and he's into year two of an ongoing large format 365 project. Someone keep this man in developer so we can see how far he goes.
It's time to...

Certain readers may recognise today’s interviewee as the man behind www.nikonf6.net. I prefer to call him John. It’s easy to downplay john’s contribution to both film photography and the the film photography community but you won’t find any of that here.
There’s...

This is the cathedral of the diocese high school my mother attended - it merged with another all-boys school around 1967.
There's a story in there somewhere, that my Father likes to tell me. I can't remember it, currently.
Anyway, I found it contrastive with the smaller size of the Church of the Sacred Heart over in Broussard. Both, though, are old-line churches, that contain a graveyard immediately adjacent to the building. And by immediate, I mean about 50'-0".

The three strikes mentality is such a cliché these days. It’s now used as a yardstick for punishment. Whether baseball or criminal offenses. However, if I had applied this baseball rule to photography I would have given up on a dream.
When I was a wee lad we lived near an abandoned apple or...

Another addition to my "What's For Dinner" project, but something more for breakfast instead.
A couple of eggs, which were then fried, cooked over-medium, served beside some toast, and bacon. To garnish the meal, a few small slices of Oranges and apples.
Along side a fresh brewed coffee, and it was a great way to start the day.

Yes, this is a proper SLR. It comes equipped with a Fixed 35-135mm ƒ/4.2-5,6 lens. The lens is actually exceptionally sharp, and clear. With very faithful colour rendition, while providing a good contrast.
The popup flash is fairly powerful, considering, but sadly the one on this model, well, it doesn't work.
Designed as an entry model into 35mm Film Photography, it can easily be incorporated into a on-site on-location portrait camera for professional photos.
Perhaps one day I'll put my money where my mouth is and actually prove that.
The light meter is very accurate, and can easily be over-ridden. It uses a Centre-weighted average TTL Meter.

Part of the "What's for Dinner Project' I am working on, featuring a plate of Spaghetti and some Garlic Bread.
Made, not quite the traditional way, but with a little help from the canners at Ragu for their sauce.
A Garlic zinger with roasted vegetables in it, but sadly, no ground beef.
The glass of Stoney Creek Red Merlot is a wonderful addition to the meal, with a slight hint of fruitiness, while still being a dry, yet smooth, wine. Lovely!

So, you know those stories your old man tells you, about his youth?
"Ah, well, so-and-so, he had a Norton motorcycle, I had a Bridgestone, we went on a double date with some Sigma Mu gals..."
My dad talked about a couple of things, as all dads do. One was the time he'd run over a skunk with a borrowed car and it smelled like...
Another was the time ice formed in his hair, riding his Bridgestone during winter in Louisiana.
Then there was the time he "borrowed" the surplus strawberry or vanilla malt ingredients from the burger shack he'd worked at one summer. Apparently on the way home, when it was safe, he drank it all in one long gulp and arrived home sick.
Judice Inn was NOT the place that he worked at, but to hear him tell it, when he was at the University of Southwester Louisiana (now UL-Lafayette) that was high his personal list of frequented places - along with his fraternity brothers, whom he claimed had an ongoing Hearts card game that would last the whole day through, as people cycled through the fraternity house.
All these stories, then you see one of these cited places for yourself...what to think?
Surely this has happened to you, dear reader...
The Judice Inn was started by two brothers, who apparently built the place by hand in the evenings, and with flashlights. This was not too long after they returned from WWII. Still going strong. It's an atypical burger, but still pretty good. I make sure to stop there at least once, whenever visiting family in Lafayette.
Today we’re sitting down with Marcus Carlsson, Swedish large format aficionado, sometime digital shooter, obsessive DIY-ist and more recently, app developer.
We’ll be telling you more about his Analogue App a little later. For now, let’s see what he has to say for himself.

Just out back of St. John the Evangelist, lies the cemetery. Some list births in the mid-18th century, others obviously bear "C.S.A." and we're aware of what that happened in that decade.
Many Moutons, Thibeauxs, Guidrys, Delcambres, & Melancons lie here. Also, the noted Saloom family from Lebanon. Louisiana's mixed heritage isn't simply a catchphrase.
My parents were married in this church, over 40 years ago. I don't recall ever being inside, though perhaps we visited once before, when my uncle married in 1981- I don't remember. Southern Louisiana is thick with Catholicism; it's one of the main reasons the Cajun identity exists - French-speaking Catholics were expelled by the British from Nova Scotia (ex. Acadia) during the 18th century, and a good many ended up what is now the state of Louisiana.
With respect to "Cajun-ness", I didn't realize that other kids didn't have a crèche, leave shoeboxes out the night before the Epiphany, or even know what Steen's cane syrup was...until we compared notes in kindergarten in Michigan, where my brother, sister and I were born.
All Southern Louisiana things, that us little kids in frigid Michigan just took for "normal".
A distinguishing feature of many southern Louisiana towns, and indeed Southern towns, is a water tower. Water tables being what they are, it's not for nothing that these are the solutions local utilities opt for.
Right about near the railroad tracks, the nature of Broussard changes a little - the old adage about the "wrong side of the tracks" is indeed true in a way - especially if you're sitting right next to them.
I contacted the mayor about the possibility of getting up the ladder rungs, to shoot some panoramics of Broussard and Youngsville. His response, verbatim: "Slim and none".
At least I asked.

I'll have to check with my Mother or Aunt & Uncle - they'll know what this building used to be. As I suspected, it did indeed used to be a full-service gas station. It's helpful to have an Uncle who is actually into SMS/text messaging.
Now it's an architect's office, fronting Main Street. Using the web, one quickly finds...

Technology, these days...
Vermilionville - Lafayette's original name. Now the name of a Cajun/Acadian Cultural Center on Bayou Vermilion, out near the Airport and Highway 90.
I stopped by the day before I was scheduled to leave. I say "scheduled" because Continental Airlines serves much of the South via their Houston hub, and given that schedules were cast before anybody knew that Auburn and Texas, Austin would be playing in the 2010 Rose Bowl, well, getting back to Los Angeles from LFT was quite the chore.
Anyway, in Vermilionville there is a main space for concerts and other gatherings. When stopping in, there was a Zydeco band, fully "on".

Shady, Sybil and the hundred-year schoolhouse
This is Saint Cecilia school in Broussard, fronting Main Street and adjacent to the Church of the Sacred Heart and cemetery. It was founded in the 1909 by a congregation of nuns called "Sisters of Divine Providence". As luck would have it, exactly 100 years ago.
My mother attended this school back in the late fifties, later moving on to Mount Carmel High School in Lafayette in the early sixties. Her mother, nicknamed "Shady" I believe attended in the 1920's - Shady had passed about 5 years before any us were born.
I don't remember how it goes, but like many in the Southern U.S., mom ended up with a nickname: "Sybil"
Shady and Sybil, a few decades apart...and me walking by, 80 years out...

These are, in theory, the tools and utensils that inhabitants in Southwestern Louisiana would have used to work the land, till the soil, etc. I'm unsure what the black lump to the right was, I should have gotten much more touchy-feely with the contents of this barn, but it was not to be. Too many other things to see in Vermilionville.

Ideally, this is the type of home one might have expected to find there. Brick foundations boosting the floor off the ground, for airflow, and access to storage under the roof.
Hot, humid summers and cold, damp winters. This was day during the latter, with a carpeted sky.
France v. Spain v. England
The waves of European influence that washed over Louisiana make for an interesting stew.
I know nothing of any indigenous tongues still being spoken in Louisiana, but the Spaniards came in the 16th century. The game was on, and along came the French, African slaves, and eventually the English/Americans, all mixing it up in that part of the world.
So it's interesting to see this - in a place where English pretty much became the dominant (though inflected) tongue, old French names mix with new Spanish "Spanglish" written in English idiom.
Globalization didn't just start in the 1990's.
This is actually a test of my latest acquisition, and one I am really excited about. My Kodak Ektar 127mm ƒ/4.7 Wide 4x5 lens.
I wanted to see the sharpness of this lens, as it is supposed to be near legendary.
From what I can see, it hasn't disappointed.
On the film side of things, this film, expired in 1972, is part of a 16 exposure PACK film. I am now down to 12 exposures (3 exposed 1 sacrificial). Aside from some base-fog, which HC-110 and TMAX developer are very good at working with, this is a very nice film indeed.

Living cheek to jowl in a "relatively" dense City like Los Angeles means certain things, are pretty much verboten in the eyes of Johnny Law. I personally don't know of anybody who owns enough land in the City that they can discharge, negligently or gently, a firearm of any kind. I suppose the Municipal Code isn't on your side anyway...
But in Southwestern Louisiana, my cousin and I headed out to some land rented by my uncle, with pre-planned minor mayhem on our minds.
Beer cans, water bottles and cheap thrills - until the .357 ammunition got queued up :-[
The irony of this one, in a way, is that the rifle in question was owned by my grandfather on my mother's side. He passed before any of us were born. But you can see a tiny bit of him here, front row, left side.
"M A R K I T is...
The first in a series of micro performance interventions in Kensington Market. A new arts-activist collaboration fuelled by the urgency to respond to the changes taking place in KM. Future editions will explode in public and private spaces all over the Market. Recent threats to the character of KM include plans for formula stores such as Walmart and Loblaws, in conjunction with landlords hiking rent to force out decades-old family businesses. In solidarity with activists fighting to save our community, we believe that engaging conversation through live art will contribute to preserving KM’s distinctly organic ecology. "

This man had a large board covered with buttons which he was selling. He claimed to have everyone's name, he had mine.
In my negotiations to take this photo, I agreed to give this gentleman half of whatever I earn with this photo. So, start buying what I am selling :)

The pier I usually take my photos from was still closed for repairs so this is under the Sky bridge a bit south of the lift bridge.
Not sure why I centered the dog in my shot but it left most of the frame empty. Thus, the crop.
Grandmother, grandson, dog in sweater. These three were kind enough to pose for me so I could snap this shot. You can tell how much the boy likes (his?) dog.
