This is the criminal courts building in Los Angeles. (Proper name: the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Courts Building.) This is where the OJ Simpson and Phil Spector murder trials were held. (Olympus OM-2N and Kodak Ultramax 400 film.)

It pours, man, it pours. Olympus OM2n with Arista Ultra 400 film.

"people who consciously put themselves on display and expect to be noticed" The above is a quote from @Peter Roberts recent post, The Spiv, and it reminded me of this photo I snapped at Santa Anita Park in Southern California some years ago. Normally I attempt to be uber-stealth when I shoot...

A continuation of the somewhat solarized look I've been playing with recently. It's at the Huntington Beach Airshow, 2018. Olympus OM2n and Ilford HP5.

I've been pushing sliders around to experiment some more with that solarized look that featured in my previous post (Vertical Climb). Here's another from the same day and the same roll of film. Olympus OM2n, Olympus 35-70, red #29 filter and Ilford HP5.

Came across this image yesterday and, although I considered it a throw-away when I first processed it, yesterday I liked it. It's from the Huntington Beach Airshow in 2018. I shot 3 rolls with my OM2n, Olympus 35-70 zoom with red filter (#29) and HP5. Processed in Rodinal. Something went...

Céret, France. I realize its a conceit, but I like to think the serendipitous ascent of the dove as I snapped this photo renders something a little bit surreal, perhaps in homage to the great surrealist. Olympus OM2n with Tri-X.

Des Moines Art Museum. Des Moines, Iowa. OM2n with Tri-X.

Carcassone, France. Olympus OM2n with Kodak Tri-X.

A charming French gentleman greets us with an elegant salutation as we walked along a Paris street on an early morning in 2017. Olympus OM2n with Tri-X at ISO 1600. (Why ISO 1600 in daylight? The evening previous I had been taking some photos of the cathedral at Montmartre and I didn't want to...

...after all it's quite obvious what's going on. 😳 Suffice to say it's a modern dance at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, 2017. Olympus OM2n with Arista EDU 400 film.

Olympus OM2n with Tri-X.

Looking upward I managed to get this interesting (I think) view of the atrium in the hotel. Olympus OM2n. Can't remember offhand what film.

I may have posted this one before. If I have don't bother looking if you don't want to. ;) The central library was opened in 2004. I think I shot this image about three years ago. Olympus OM2n with Kodak Gold 200 film.

Olympus OM2n with Kodak Tri-X 400 processed in Rodinal.

This is from the "Great Pacific Airshow" over Huntington Beach in 2018. (I think I've posted some images from the airshow before.) In 2016, the inaugural version of the show, I had shot many digital images from the beach. In 2017 I had shot many digital images from the top floor balcony of a...

Olympus OM2n with Arista EDU 400 film processed in Rodinal. This was before I had my OM2n overhauled. I didn't know at the time that the shutter was acting up. At speeds up around a 500th the shutter curtain lagged, causing that dark area on the right of the frame. It's not too bad in this...

Norfolk, Virginia. Olympus OM2n and Kodak Tri-X 400 processed in Rodinal.
