NEW YORK NEW YORK – Its my anniversary!
I started this project exactly eight years ago with images taken on Wall Street and what was then called Chase Manhattan Plaza (now Liberty Plaza). On October 16, 2009 I made the first live entry on this blog: an image of the Dubuffet statue “Four Trees” on the plaza. I’ve re-edited the images from day one and included two of them below.
I decided to celebrate my anniversary by shooting film. I’ve bought a Leica M3 from 1954, the first year of M3 production, as well as a Mamiya 7, a medium forma film camera that I characterize as a great big plastic Leica. The Mamiya is off being serviced; the M3 will follow it in a few days. I’m processing the film myself, and “scanning” it to digital with a setup that includes an LED light panel, a copy stand, some Besslar enlarger negative carriers, a Sony A7rii camera and a macro lens.
I plan on shooting film regularly, on days when I can find the time to fit the two hours of processing and scanning time into my schedule.
Anyway here are images from the former Chase Manhattan Plaza shot with film.
