Film from Doug and Judy’s:
On this day last year: Ganesh meets Irene. This is the anniversary of prep for a major storm headed to the Northeast.
So here’s a street scene and Yankee Stadium, taken with my Leica M9 and a 12mm Voigtländer lens. As a non-fisheye this wide it’s amazing that it even produces an image. It produces serious color shifts with digital cameras, shifts that I correct for by “developing” the images in C1 with an llc correction. No veiwfinder is necessary – I just assume that it takes in everything in the general direction of the front of the camera. Focusing is redundant because of the long depth of field. Results can be weird and unpleasant because of wide angle geometric distortion – I tend to get a lot of junk with it but also an occasional gem.
I got film back today so I’ll be including a few film images each day until I run out of them. Generally taken with my Leica M4, Ilford Delta 100 film, and a dual range Summicron lens.
On this day one year ago: a Nash Metropolitan.
On this day last year: Portland Oregon illustrating two Portland themes: moss and an arts and crafts house.
On this day last year: Park Avenue at night. Note the scratch running most of the length of the photo – something that I commented on extensively last year.
On this day last year: Time Warner
Another, converted to grayscale:
On this day last year: a shot of the El Dorado across the frozen Central Park Reservoir.
The next in a series of 24 self-portraits taken on February 13, 1999 with an Arca Swiss 8×10 view camera.
