Gonna start blogging my rolls
Made few portraits of my brother during his visit to the PNW last Christmas. I’m a bit out of practice and out of focus, but who cares? Any excuse to look through the ground glass and fire off a few frames on the Rolleiflex photographing your folk is fine by me.
Shoot for self.
Going really meta here for National Camera Day with a photograph of my trusty Leica M6 made with my faithful but all too ignored Rolleiflex 3.5F on Ilford HP5. To be honest, I’m struggling to find a place for film in my life. Right now film doesn’t suit my lifestyle. Not to say that I’d walk away from analog completely, I could never do that. Film is how I fell in love with the medium of photography. Film requires work on my part, and it’s work that frankly I’m finding I don’t have the time to put in. We’ll see, film always has a way of coming back.
Long live film.
A few sacred frames from the Rolleiflex. I say sacred not because of the subject matter but because of the time. Rarely these days do I go out just for the sake of making images. When I exposed these frames that was one of those days. I took the Rollleiflex over the Leica that day because I wanted to slow down and take my sweet ass time. Note to self, make time for the sole purpose of shooting this summer. Oh and these were shot on old faithful Kodak Tri-X 400, forgive the puns I’m a dad now and they just come so easy.
