Film at 10, 2 and 4 – Black and White
Photos from a Leica M6 with a Voigtlander lens and Ilford HP+ film. Let each picture be worth 1000 words. That means I don’t need to say anything else. Enjoy…
In the Spirit – Keeping Film Alive
I have been trying to reduce (not eliminate, just make fewer) the number of film cameras that I keep on the shelves in my photo room. By the way, the photo room is not a darkroom, simply a spare bedroom that has shelves, and a closet dedicated to cameras and books about photography. I have…
Nikon D3S and Tomioka 21, f/3.5 – Matchless!
Take an old technology camera and an even older lens that almost no one has ever heard of and see what kind of creative spark emerges. That was the goal when I went out shooting the other day. This story is about images taken with the legendary Nikon D3S from 2009 timeframe, and a lens…
Pistons On The Square
The third Saturday of October is five days from now. It’s important to me because every third Saturday, of every month, classic cars from Austin and the surrounding area make the trip to the square in Georgetown, Texas. When the weather is good, cars start arriving before 8AM and by 9AM there are hundreds of…
Experiment with the Fuji X-H2
The Fujifilm X-H2 is a new camera to me and I am still learning the controls and functions. There are many differences from my previous camera the Fuji X-T4. This posting is about using the new camera with an old lens that I just acquired, the Konica Hexar AR 57 1.4, a manual focus lens…
What is an Escaramuza? Think Female Rodeo Queens of Mexico!
We spent the first 10 days of June In San Miguel de Allende – our home away from home. One of the highlights of the trip was going to the Escaramuza on Sunday, June 8. I really didn’t know what to expect – and, I was most pleasantly surprised. Here is a great article I…
Another Day, Another Lens
Two days ago I added pictures from the Fuji/Pentax lens testing. I have a second telephoto lens that I have not used before. This is the Fuji GFX 50S with the Pentax 135 3.5 attached. The package is very light and unassuming, and I think quite versatile for street and portrait photography. I am including…
Beautiful Katie

So pretty… This is my first attempt adding audio and creating a podcast type experience with my weblog. I am going to add audio to my pictures and written stories…
Fujifilm GFX & Adapted Pentax Lenses
I conducted a short photography experiment yesterday. I adapted two 60 year old lenses; one a 21 mm and the other a 200 mm M42 lens (designed for the Pentax Spotmatic). I shot a couple dozen pictures with my Fuji GFX 50S medium format camera. When you nail the focus, this combination of camera and…
Three 6 X 6-Shooters
I want to share some recent pictures I have taken with my 6 x 6 medium format film cameras. I have a Yashica Mat 124G (1974-75 timeframe), a Rolleiflex 2.8D (1956) and a Rolleicord Vb (1966). I’ve owned the Yashica Mat 124G the longest, but it is the most recently manufactured of the three cameras.…
