As I mentioned before, in August 2011 I visited my friend and photographer Tyler in Seattle. He was kind enough to provide me with a tour of nearby National Parks, which he documented quite well over the last few years since he moved into the area.
One day, I'll tell you a sad story about a very nice sunrise at Mount Rainier, but this story, far less sad, begins later that same day.
After breakfast at Rainier, we broke camp and took a few hours drive west to a quaint little town of Forks, WA, made famous by some teenage vampire novels you may have heard of. We stopped at a few places along the way and took some photos, but the main goal was to get to the Second Beach, a secluded place on the western side of the Olympic peninsula, in time for the sunset.
And we did, or so we thought. The First, Second and Third beaches are adjacent lagoons, each with its own trail leading back to the main road to La Push, WA. But, since it was an afternoon of a long day when we drove by, we didn't realize we took the trail for the Third beach until we hit the sand, a mile or so later.
Which was just as well, because it was a perfectly lovely place, and the dying light of the day provided great back lighting to the distant sea stacks. I started a new roll of Fuji Velvia film with two sunset shots, of which I prefer this one, with more dramatic clouds and nice reflection in the water. I wish I had a longer lens than the normal 80mm on my Mamiya 7 medium format camera, or that I were closer to the distant sea stacks, but it still ended up being a very nice photo.
Although remote, Olympic National Park is well worth the trip - in this post, I didn't even mention the central part of the park with rainforests, river valleys and dramatic waterfalls, like the Sol Duc Falls. By the time we got back to civilization, the weather cleared up very nicely. As a bonus from the visit, during our stop at a Starbucks I ended up picking up Hugh Laurie's excellent CD "Let Them Talk", which I like almost as much as these photos.
Earlier this month I took delivery of a new (second hand) Pentax 67II medium format film camera, all the way from Japan. It takes 120 roll film and produces a big negative rich in detail and with a wide tonal range. This is one of my first test shots, taken near the Lower Lake in Glendalough in county Wicklow.
Having done a little bit of film processing thirty years ago, I wanted to try it again and medium format seemed to offer all I needed for my particular projects. I also want to be a part of the 'slow photography' movement, where shots are carefully thought out and pondered before the shutter is pressed. Slow being the operative word; this Pentax monster weighs 5 Ibs, not including a heavy tripod! I'm looking forward using it and exploring the possibilities of film again.

Cuireadh daoine i gcré na cille i i Machaire Gathlán den chéad uair sa bhliain 1765.

The old cemetary in Machaire Gathlán, West Donegal, was first used as a burial ground in 1765. Prior to that, the dead had to be carried across the hill of Taobh a’ Leithid to the graveyard at Tulach Beaglaoich beside the town of Falcarragh. This was a journey of some fifteen miles. The ruin in the graveyard is reputed to be a Franciscian church.

First models of Salyut were probably the near copies of Hasselblad 1600. Salyut-S is the very modified model of the first Salyut.
Kiev-80 cameras are the export type of Salyut-S with a new name plate.
The Salyut was the first attempt by the Soviet camera industry to produce a sophisticated SLR medium format camera.. The Soviets claimed that both the Hasselblad and the Salyut were derived from a Nazi prototype, however none of these supposed forerunners have ever been seen so this origin is dubious.
These cameras were very expensive at 400 Rubles, which represented 6 months salary to the average Soviet citizen.

C'est un de mes tricks préférés.
Ici, j'ai préparé les réglages de l'appareil puis Tony s'est chargé du reste.
Another shot on my journey home. This, I feel, is extremely reflective on how airports actually feel. ;)
What I did, for the curious, is put a roll of 35mm film into my Lubitel, and then only advanced the film a tiny bit for each shot. If you've never worked with a medium format camera before, you don't advance it like a normal 35mm. You shoot, and then turn a knob until you reach the next frame. This can allow for an extremely free-wheeling process if you want it to, which I really enjoy.
The bag: Fjällräven Kånken Big in brown.
Cameras + matching covers/bags:
- Agfa Isola 1 + Zatchels barrel bag
- Canon EOS 700D wih 18 - 55mm kit lens (I just really love that silly little starter kit lens) + Löwepro holster (2006 edition)
- Canon PowerShot D20 + pencil case from HEMA. Because you know, it's waterproof, rain won't stop me! And what if I encounter a pond with frogs or pretty fish in it!
- Lomography Action Sampler, soccer edition (it was discounted, I don't care that it says soccer BOING on it) + pencil case from HEMA
- Samsung Slim Zoom 115 A Panorama (which has been with me since 1996, I'm the first owner) + leather cover (it's actual cover)
Other stuff:
- Coloud color headset. Originally it had black padding, but that got so much wear and tear that I put on the blue ones from my previous model (which broke before the padding could die).
- Old iPod classic (from back in 2008)
- Pocket edition (Collector's Libary) of Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days, my favourite book :) Without the pretty cover, because that would just get damaged in my bag.
- Instax mini film, just the plain one
- Little tin box from HEMA which says "A good day for my favourite everything" (the print isn't very clear, that's not just the photo) which I use to keep cards and instax photos in from that day.

I came across this old can of "Surge pulsator oil" in a small garbage can near a very old barn. I discovered via a Internet search that "Surge pulsator oil" is the oil that is used exclusively to keep leathers oiled and pliable that are inside pulsators from dairy milking machines. The leather is part of what creates the vacuum for drawing milk from the cows. I especially like how the lid on the can of oil had the dispensing cap permanently attached to the other lid as to not lose it, an old fashioned common sense convenience not seen on products anymore.
