Save as Draft

I am addicted to cameras and particularly vintage cameras! I bought this Kodak Brownie Reflex for $10 at the Pasadena Elk's Lodge photo swap meet. I thought I may use it to shoot through the viewing lens with my digital camera but first decided to to shoot film. I was able to get the 127 film form BnH in NY, and when I got it I realized I had no clue as to what I should be doing! After blowing the first roll just trying to load it, I was able to settle down and begin to take some photos with good expectations. I develop my own b/w film and was very eager to get some of the rolls developed and then it occurred to me that 127 film may or may not fit in my roll film holder!!!! Fortunately, my holders can accommadate this film size which is bigger than 35mm film and smaller than 120 medium format film. I loved the results! The images are so nice! I will post more images as I get a chance to. 

my new blog...

Ok, I am in my mid 40s and find myself in the middle of a world which is engulfed in technology and I realize I have not done a very good job keeping up with it. This blog is my attempt to keep pace with such a fast moving technical world. I am a creative person and have chosen photography as my medium. I will be posting images mostly taken with old film cameras since it is what I find to be more interesting. I love digital and use it everyday, but will try to just post film unless I have something really good or need to illustrate an old camera.
