A vintage Ektachrome shot somewhere in upstate NY at a yard sale. It's that time of the year.

Old house

 

An old abandoned house somewhere in upstate New York. Shot on Ektachrome with a Nikon FTn and a 35mm F 2.8 Nikkor lens.

 

        A scene from  the Finger Lakes area in upstate NY. The camera was the Nikon FTn with the Nikkor 35nn F 2,8. The film was Ektachrome X that faded a little, but the image shot way back in 1973 is still powerful in my humble opinion.

Vintage medium format black and white

 

This is really one of my first images. I had just bought a Yashicamat 124 that introduced to the wonders of medium format. The film was Ansco 500 that I developed in Hyfonol- I love the atmosphere in this shot.

Archival scan

When I was shooting with film, I really liked the 120 format. Looking at those large slides was fascinating. This is an image dating from the fall of 1973. I remember the shot and it was on a Saturday. Then we used to go on many trips by car. We were care free because we had no children yet. But I loved having my children even though many on things we did had to be cancelled or postponed. 

The joys of medium format

This is one of my very first medium format shots. It was shot on Ansco 120 B&W film with a speed of 500 that in those days was very fast and was developed in Ansco Hyfonol developer. In those days I was experimenting with all sorts of film and developer combinations. It was one aspect of film photography that I enjoyed and miss. The camera was the original Yashicamat 124
