Archival medium format shot



This image was shot in happier times and coincidentally was made on sa Saturday before Easter. Obviously I was on the Broolyn Bridge. The camera was a Mamyia C 220 and naturally the film was Tri-X Professional.

Have a nice weekend in quarantine



Think positive thoughts. We shall survive this

Flowers to lift up your spirits

These early spring flowers were shot at the Planting Fields Arboretum in Long Island, NY. Once a private estate, it's now a state park and a very beautiful one. It's greenhouses are magnificent and the grounds are very well kept. A really nice place to go and relax. Unfortunately, like everything els, it's closed at the present time

Vintage street shot

Something the shot works and it all comes together in that so called decisive moment. Quebec Ville in June of 1973 where these workers are admiring the young lady passing by.

I wish I were there

This year our spring trip to Italy was not to be and it appears that the summer trip will be put on hold. This image is from a few springs ago and depicts this wonderful castle below the hamlet of Erice atop Mount San Giuliano on the north western tit of Sicily. The castle, named Castello di Venere, Castle of Venus, has been renovated and is accessible to visitors. Just wonderful.

Wonderful medium format B&W





Tese images dating from the mid seventies were shot with a Yashicamat 124-G using Tri-X Pan Pro. When I first bought my first 129 camera I immediately became enamored of the format. There was something impossible to get on 135 film. Naturally with digital this is just anachronistic fancy.

Sorry for the delay




Internet problems; because the virus, repairs took some time.
I want to start the week with soothing images. It's important to have pleasant thoughts during these difficult times. Please take care of yourselves.
