Dealey Plaza, October 2008

Dealey Plaza, October 2008 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

The former Texas School Book Depository in Dallas, TX. Taken with my Russian made Lubitel 166 medium format camera. I have had this camera for 10 years but I had never ran a roll of film through it until this past October. I am pleased with the results. The film was expired Ilford Delta 100 Pro.

New Studio

It has been a long time since I posted on this blog. I really want to make it a weekly event, but things have been crazy lately. I have moved into a new studio that I share with two other photographers. It’s in Broken Arrow, but there is so much great space in this studio! Below are some of the first shots from the new place.

Broasted Chicken

Saw this sign back in January on the Apache Trail out in Arizona.  It seemed vaguely familiar to me so I thought I would take a picture of it.  After googling it, now I remember where I saw it.  It was on the back of The Refreshments CD “Fizzy Fuzzy Big And Buzzy”, which I have a copy of somewhere in my old stacks of CD’s from the 90’s.

Anyway, I really liked how it turned out.  Some EXIF data: Pentax K10D, 1/250 @ f 11, 100 ISO.

Kelso

I decided a few weeks ago to test a little off camera flash setup I had been thinking about. Still need to work out the kinks, but good ol’ Kelso was a very patient model while I experimented!

Taos

Here is a picture I took in Taos, NM last year. It’s really beautiful there. We were there as the ski season was winding down in 2007 and the temps were in the 60s and 70s while people were still skiing.

Tee-Pee Drive In

This is the Tee-Pee Drive In, in Sapulpa, OK. Which just so happens to be the town where I grew up, right on Route 66. This drive in has been closed for a while, but is for sale. Maybe somebody can restore it to it’s former glory.

The day I was there was not the best day for shooting black and white film. It was a cloudy day where the sky is almost all white. Plus, I was shooting expired film. Ilford Delta 100 Pro in my Bronica SQ-b.

Back To 1984…

1984 was a good year. I was 12 years old. Mary Lou Retton won Gold in the Los Angeles Olympics. Prince released Purple Rain. And Pentax released the Super Program. Some articles on the net indicate it may have been introduced in 1983, but I don’t know as many cool facts about that year, so I am sticking with 84.

Anyway, I recently purchased one of these beauties from ebay, and it quickly became my new baby. The picture below is not my actual camera, I haven’t had time to photograph it yet. However, mine has a Pentax SMC 50mm 1.7 lens that is wonderful for portraits. I used it in the headshots below on my Pentax K10D. The lens alone was worth what I paid for the camera.

I made a bit of a resolution this year that I would get out and shoot more film. I need to stick to that. There is a snow storm coming here in the TUL, so maybe that will get me out to finish off the first roll.
