Futuro 001
Futuro, or Futuro House, is a round, prefabricated house designed by Matti Suuronen, of which fewer than 100 were built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The distinctive flying saucer like shape and airplane hatch entrance has made the houses popular among collectors. The Futuro is composed of fiberglass-reinforced polyester plastic, measuring 4 metres high and 8 metres in diameter.
The WeeGee Exhibition Centre, Tapiola, Espoo, Finland is a cornucopia of museums, exhibitions and events, includes five museums, a modern art gallery, a café and three museum shops. This building, originally designed as a printing house by architect Aarno Ruusuvuori, has been transformed into a unique exhibition centre for culture and different events. It contains over 20'000 square metres of living culture, art, exhibitions and events.
Futuro 001 has been owned by TV celebrity Matti Kuusla since its manufacture. It is worth noting that despite the 001 numbering this was not the first Futuro manufactured - the prototype was numbered 000 and that Futuro has been fully restored and is on display at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The Futuro has spent its life on a lakeside property in Hirvensalmi where, mainly because it has never had an electrical supply, it has been only used in a very limited way.
Taken on a Sunday night on the main street in Buchanan, VA with a Koni-Omega Rapid press camera using Fuji Neopan Acros 100 and a Sunpak Auto 544 flash set to full power manual. Lens was the Hexanon 90mm set to f3.5 and a shutter speed of 1/60. Other than the flash, there was very little light, as all the shops were closed and had their signs turned off. I was standing across the street from the theatre, which was likely about 40 feet away from me. This was my attempt at Weegee type nighttime street shots. These were also my first shots taken with this camera, which was sent to me by my father.

(Spent) M3 bulb shown installed in flashgun.
Requires 15v 504 or 220A battery.
The 2-lens stack + the vented filter create a vignette around the edges of pics taken with this combo.
The camera doesn't have M sync so all bulbs must be shot as X sync. The bulbs do put out quite a bit of infrared. This is kind of the opposite of what Weegee used to do.

I recently learned of the works of Weegee. Fascinating photography. I especially liked his crowd shots of Coney Island and so until Coney becomes as populated as this scene I thought I'd take the opportunity to try my hand at an Homage to this photographer.
Named after the nickname of American B&W crime scene photographer, Arthur Fellig, Weegee's is my favorite out-of-the way (as in not near my neighborhood) bars in Chicago.

Notes: American photographer, active in New York City and Hollywood. Arthur Fellig, known as Weegee professionally, is noted for his photographs depicting crime and other newsworthy events, usually taken at night. His early career was spent as a freelance press photographer. He prided himself on his ability to arrive at the scene of a crime before the police, and derived his name from the phonetic pronunciation of the Ouija board. He sold his images to tabloid newspapers from 1935 through the 1940s, and published his first book, Naked City in 1945, followed by Weegee's People in 1946. Naked City was a commercial success and guaranteed his income. At this point he began taking portraits of celebrities and figures in the entertainment industry. He used a variety of trick lenses to distort and manipulate these images, and often exposed or exagerrated the imperfections of his subjects. He experimented with infrared film and flash to make exposures in darkness, particularly of people in darkened movie theaters. Weegee used a 4x5 Speed Graphic press camera and flash exclusively throughout his career; and is not known for his printing virtuosity, but for the elements of social critique in his photographs. He was a flamboyant character, and revelled in his own notoreity and mythology. (source: Getty Museum)
