tri-x 400

An old photo that caught my eye this morning. I may have posted it some years ago but I am sure the link is dead. Canon F1 with Canon 17/4 and Tri-X film. Huntington Beach Pier at Night by brian moore, on Flickr

Santa Ynez, California. Olympus OM2n. Tri-X. Rodinal developer.

I posted this one a few years ago under the title "Fruit Thief". But as with many (or maybe most) of the images I posted some years ago, the link to the photo was broken as I updated my website hosting parameters. An avocado is a fruit, isn't it? (Perhaps one of our botanists can confirm.)...

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...

Newport Beach, California. Some years ago. Holga 120N (light leaker!) with Tri-X. Rodinal developer.

The Olympus XA series of cameras (specifically the ones I have used--which is to say XA, XA2 and XA3) can have a very touchy shutter release. I think this image may be the result of me accidentally tripping the hair-trigger shutter of my XA3. I otherwise have no explanation for it. XA3 with...

Olympus OM2n with Tri-X.

When I lived and worked in Southern California I spent a lot of time sitting at traffic lights. One day, stopped at a red and first away when green came, I decided to photograph people as they crossed in front me. Usually I used an Olympus XA (or XA2 or XA3) which I almost always had with me...

Some years ago I purchased an old Voigtlander Bessa folding camera. It shoots 120 film and produces 6x9 negatives. It was in very nice condition given its age. (Serial number suggests 1938.) Even its bellows were supple and light-tight. I've shot a few rolls with it. I made this image on one...

At the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim versus Toronto Blue Jays game on June 30, 2018. In baseball parlance a "changeup" is a pitch intended to fool the batter into thinking a fastball is on the way, when in fact the pitch thrown is much slower. The ruse is based on the pitcher's motion which is...
