les voitures….

The car pictures have gone by the wayside as I got sucked into black and white film. I hesitate to change focus here, but have been posting stuff on my “real blog” in the meantime.

1981 BMW 633CS. 
I forgot this one in the drafts folder.  I will go take more car pictures I promise!   

In the meantime I went out to the cemeteries on all saints day (brought flowers to my aunt) with a medium format camera (yashica-mat 124) and I have been taking pictures of the river and developing film. 

Also tearing my hair out and stubbing my fingers trying to fix a Nikkormat.  Gonna send it in for repairs.  These things are worse than old laptops - they have tiny flathead screws.

pardon the quiet

I’m low on car pictures at the moment. Been busy testing cameras for light leaks and stuff like that. And working.

Square format panzerette.  
Old medium format camera testing at the fly in Audubon Park.  Actual print I got back was a stop over, but that’s ok.  I’ll either get better at guessing the light or buy a light meter.

Porsche 914 2.0.  Allegedly the larger engine variant.  Yellow cars take great black and white pictures.

How I am spending my weekend: cleaning cameras.  Re-sealing at least one of them.  The yashica-mat is already loaded with 120.  My better half found these at his mother’s house while looking for the second AE-1.
