My photo walk of Tuesday, September 17, 2024 in Lyon, France. I expected a mixture of sunshine and clouds for testing the B+W red filter but in turn, the cloud cover was tight. I decided to keep the red filter for the whole film anyway.
I used my Hasselblad 500 C/M camera loaded with a Kentmere 100 film. The Carl Zeiss normal lens Planar CF 1:2.8 f=80mm was equipped with a 67mm screw-on filter Light Red 5 B+W type 090 adapted to the Hasselblad bayonet filter mount with a specific adaptor. The Zenza Bronica metal shade hood designed for the 75mm Nikkor-P lens was mounted additionally to the filter to its 67mm thread.
The film was exposed for 25 ISO to compensate of the filter light absorption using a Minolta Autometer III and its 10° viewer for selective measurement privileging the shadow area's or by measuring the incident light with the opalescent dome.

After the view #12 exposed, the film was fully rolled to the taking spool and was developed in a Paterson tank with a spiral adapted to the 70mm large film. 500 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer were prepared at the dilution 1+50 and the film processed for 15min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta vertical macro stative device and adapted to a Minolta MD Macro lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel (approx. 4x5') CineStill Cine-lite fitted with film holder "Lobster" to maintain flat the 70mm film.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About my Hasselblad 500C/M:
I remember that somewhere around 2002, I considered to buy a Hasselblad camera. I gave up because I had no more access to a darkroom and I found too complicated to recreate one or to delegate the processing to a service lab. Afterward, I started digital photography that distracted me to operate again with films until more recently. It is only when I could manage in 2022 a reliable and quality way to exploit my negatives in a reasonable time, that I really could enjoy again of analog photography.
On July 17, 2024, I decided to buy "my" Hasselblad in a very traditional way, almost as I could in the 90’s, in a local real photographic store, Lyon, France. The store « Carré Couleur » of Jacques Larger, rue Servient, Lyon, France, is a long-time specialist of professional medium-format camera’s including Hasselblad ones. They had on display several revised and 6-month guaranteed camera’s and a large choice of lenses and accessories.`
I choose a 500 C/M year 1978 and a Carl Zeiss lens Planar T* 1:2.8 f=80mm of the CF series year 1986, plus a small set of little Hasselblad goodies. The 500 C/M is totally mechanical without any electrical nor electronic circuitry. The 500 C/M's were produced in Göteborg, Sweden, from year 1970 to 1994. They followed the production of the 500C camera’s (1957-1970). The latest V-series camera (503 CX, CW, CWI etc) ceased in 2006 and Hasselblad then produced only digital camera’s but also digital camera backs that could fit to the V-series includingbthis 500 C/M (www.hasselbladhistorical.eu/HS/HSTable.aspx)
This CF lens series has central shutter Prontor (Synchro-Compur for the earlier Zeiss series). They are more cylindrical than earlier series and equipped of the proprietary bayonet filter mount B60. The delayed shutter realease was also abandoned. The focusing screen is the « Bright » series with the Dodin stigmometer in the screen centrer and the squared cross-ruling lines. Later 501 and 503 were basically equipped with an even more brighter screen called « Acute-mat ». The camera back could dated from year 1977 is an « A-12 » back « A » standing for « Automatic ». The film advance automatically stops at view 1 with view counter on the right camera side.
After a complete demo by Jacques Larger, I studied the camera manipulation at home with the user manual in hand (an original edition of 1980) before doing the decisive « film d’essai » (test film) on a sunny morning of July 20, 2024.
The results show very high-quality, highly-contrasted negative views, perfectly exposed and spaced proving the good technical state of the camera, film magazine, and the lens/shutter.
On sept. 2, 2024, I received from a French specialist of collection camera's, a second film magazine Hasselblad "A12". This back is in a pristine condition and matches the production year 1978 (Hasselblad letter coding "UR") of the 500 C/M body.
The camera back is like a new with almost no signs of use. It arrived in its original Hasselblad box including the original user manual too. The film insert has latest 3 digits matching the film magazine serial number, that is not the case of the other magazine. Unmatched magazines and inserts, are very common and assumed not to be a technical problem, but Hasselblad maintained the pairing of the insert magazine to ensure to the customers of the best attention to the precision of the film plane.
Não fui na expectativa de pegar sol por saber que lá não tem praia mas acabei voltando até um pouco queimada com marca de short invés de biquíni kkkk lugar maravilhoso pra sentar fazer um piknik e tomar banho de cachoeira, pena que não deu pra ficar muito tempo lá pra curtir mais o lugar.
Wasn;t expecting this Church to be so nice, I just assumed that because of its proximity to Mildenhall it would be the same sort of place as their main church, wrong! It started to very gently rain as I got out of the car, there is something magical about taking pictures in the rain on a mild spring day, especially if you are under an umbrella, its the pit a pat.
This was the first church of the day, I have to drive an hour now to get to the closest church to me in Woodbridge (I do still have several closer but I am saving them for later in the year, got some time off in July!!
Back to the sunrise photos. I had these ready to upload, but was tired of the same thing again and again. So I had some sunsets with lighthouses, but I'm back with these.
Ok, no quiero sonar "violado" como me diría alguien por ahí, pero hay cosas que me pasan que no puedo evitar.
Siento que este último tiempo, ha sido en verdad maravilloso, tengo todo lo que siempre quise, soy tal como siempre soñé ser, entre muchas otras cosas. No desconozco lo anterior, de hecho de aquello se trata mi felicidad en estos días, pero hay detalles que me preocupan de vez en cuando.
Es extraño, por demás difícil, que alguien se gane mi cariño (no se trata de que me crea el meollo del universo, pero tampoco vivo regalando aquello), y cuando así resulta ser, entrego todo lo que pueda, dado que el día de mañana no se sabe si esa persona o el cariño estarán. Es por lo mismo que trato de hacer hasta lo imposible por demostrar el sentimiento; lo malo de eso, es que también se espera mucho a cambio... Lamentablemente asumo mi culpabilidad en el tema de expectativas, ya que mal que mal, nadie tiene la culpa de mis anhelos, pero hay ocasiones en las que me gustaría recibir algo de esto a cambio.
Ahora se viene el paso al cuestionamiento... :
¿Seré acaso el responsable de esperar mucho de las personas? ¿Tendré la culpa de entregar mucho sin pedir nada a cambio? ¿Es quizá una tontera entristecerse por no recibir demostraciones en reciprocidad?
Hay días como hoy, en los que la nostalgia y melancolía logran ganarme el gallito un rato...
Acutally, I was expecting (hoping?) that the place would turn into a nightclub like the set of a Bollywood movie where everyone gets up from their tables and suddenly starts dancing in unison. But instead, there were three hired women dancers and most of the patrons were men, and it was a weeknight, so the vibe didn't really get off the ground....
So it wasn't so fun and we left.
This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.
This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.
Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.

“Expected=Unexpected” was kind of a follow up to that epic illustration project known as “Floor Three” which spawned a very epic “Divas and Animals” 2023 Superfinale. Here we have Melissa and her crew making a return to the Rahr in the Consumer Car in the most unusual way as the vehicle enters the gallery in some sort of a supernatural way. The inspiration of the Consumer Car’s return at the Rahr was from that Apple iPhone commercial where one guy is playing a game on his phone and he’s capitulated up in the air in the most unusual way (and that soundtrack to that commercial is STILL EMBEDDED IN MY HEAD. AAGH) and then he crashes through the roofs of many random places and then lands in a seat of a subway train.

Expect two more photos like this of the Novocaines; when they win their semi, and when they win the final. Mark my words.
The average person in Vancouver can expect to hear a variety of different types of music at an event. Popular genres will always be a part of the mix, but in the next five to ten years, you will see a rise in the following types of music:
Society expects people to look and behave a certain way depending on their biological sex. Men are expected to act and look 'masculine', and women, 'feminine'. My chosen image portrays a 'heavy' job that, due to society, is expected to be done by a man.
