A sense of holy awe
After the morning worship service, a few Sundays ago at Rochester Christian Reformed Church. This would have been better tilted up just a bit. I'm used to the Ondu 6x6 which is wide angle both horizontally and vertically. The field width lines are laser-inscribed on the top and side of the camera; I need to remember to use the vertical guides.
I scanned this first roll at 2400 dpi, my usual for medium format. The native format Gimp xcf from the scan is 174 mb. The final jpg is 30 mb. Big.
See the link for more info on the camera.

January 2024, Konica Pan 100. This expired in 2005 or 2008. I bought it in Andong, South Korea. It was sitting in a shop window, the owner didn't want to sell it to me as they were concerned I would not be happy with the results.
I pushed it two stops and I was very happy with it.

{film} Another one from our shoot two weeks ago.
I found another temporary job yesterday and I'm going to be working 40 hour weeks while also continuing to work on my photography. I've got shoots that I might have to reschedule but it's a cool job and I need the money.
Agfa Box 44 from 1930s
expired Kodak Portra 160, pushed two stops
Inspired by the movie 'Wings of desire' and its remake 'City of angels', I wanted to do this project for a long time. I even started it some time ago as self-portraits wearing long, leather, black jacket:

But this time, I thought I would do something different. I think the use of the traditional, red, Chinese dress was more for the visual reasons in the beginning. Then I started to think what I wanted to show in this project. And the word 'nostalgia' came to my mind in a natural way - the use of an old camera, expired films, dress from another era, showing longing for the past. But when I developed the films, I was disappointed with the results. I was hoping they would look like old photographs. The colours came out more vivid than when using normal kodak portra 160 (perhaps because mine was expired and pushed two stops when developed). I felt that this is not what I wanted and also that it is not really my style. I guess I had some expectations about the whole thing.
And then I thought that I did the best I could, given the tools I have at the moment (I had to sell all my equipment for personal reasons and only kept my grandfather's camera for sentimental reasons and was left with few boxes of kodak portra 160 that I didn't sell) and that the final results were actually not up to me. I felt that this was a great lesson of humility, letting go, diminishing my ego and expectations, trying to deal with my 'control freak' and perfectionist side. So my new idea for the name of this project is 'humility', for the reasons above but also because of the small figure in the vastness of the landscapes (universe) as I am trying to show how small and insignificant we all are.
The other thing I thought about is what does the model feel/experience. What is her perspective? I feel not many people think about that. So I asked her. She said that in the beginning, the posing didn't feel natural to her, she felt akward standing there looking at all these landscapes in front of her. But in later shots, she started to relax, closed her eyes and meditated.
Changed the name of the project to 'h&n' (for humility&nostalgia but also here&now).
I wonder what you think.
On the tram to see Carl Cox and Eric Powell at Mobile Disco a few weeks ago. Took a guess on the focus with my Ricoh 35 ZF and pretty happy with this result. Fomapan 100 pushed two stops. Ricoh 35 ZF.
Blairgowrie back beach, December 2021. As a kid I spent a lot of time in the dunes here, while visiting my friends who lived in the area. The dune area seemed so large and barren back then. Kodak Tmax 100 pushed two stops, Pentax 645N.
Agatha in lights
Last frame on the roll. Exposure time was over half and hour, meaning that I completely forgot about the camera while getting engrossed in a book. (Terry Pratchett does that.)
My sister got this miniature orange tree about six decades ago and named her Agatha. She (Agatha) lived at my folks' house for many years. When they moved to assisted living in 2009, she came to live with us. In warm weather she lives in the front yard.

Trying to go out would have destroyed the storm door, so I photographed the back yard snow through the window and screen, which is perfectly in focus, just like everything else in the frame. Pinhole cameras are strange beasts.

There are more coming but I am curious what you think.

'B' is for Beginning, and also for bow. And, of course, beer.
Last Friday I finally finished the roll of Ilford HP5 I have had in the Olympus OM-2 since the end of March or so. I got three shots before the camera decided it was colder than it wanted to operate in. (It really would do well with a CLAR.)
This is the first shot on the roll. I was going to post it as "Emily wore a bow", but then Mark Thomas decreed that the @deviantArt WeeklyFotoChallenge topic for this week was the letter 'B'. So here you have it, Sir Letterman.
