Street Photos – a new approach

Street /

I don’t profess to be a Street Photographer by any stretch of my imagination. I have no time and the sterile suburban community that I live in doesn’t afford decent street scenes. However……I am in NYC and Boston from time to time and I do love the scenes you get on the street. In a past life, I tried my hand at street photography with film cameras, usually wide angle….VERY wide like a 24mm, 21mm, or even a 15mm lens on a Leica. I liked the images, but never did a lot of it. I see some people I know […]

SAEES

Abstract, Micro Four-Thirds /

So I take photos and never know if I’ll like them or not. This shot of the back of an old bus or truck I took at my NJ Auto Graveyard photo shoot in November 2022. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the wider photo which would tell me what the whole text is, but the top line is something mysterious, but the bottom says SAEES, as far as I can tell. I guess it’s some abbreviation, but I may never know. Probably came from somewhere in Southern NJ. I love the colors, making this a lovely pseudo-abstract. Lots of layers

Square Pinhole at the NJ Shore

Film, Pinhole /

New Year’s Day 2024. I took a trip to the shore for a group shoot with the Essex Photo Club on NY Day, as is the club custom.

The town has been through trials and tribulations and is slowly getting revitalized. The boardwalk was obviously redone, so it’s very new. We got there around 9:00, which is pretty early for New Year’s Day standards, so it was very quiet. I was using my new Reality So

Noblex at the Auto Graveyard

Film, Film - Kodak & Other, Panorama /

I’ve had this Noblex for a few years now. A 135U model that went to the Noblex spa at Noblex Canada in Vancouver to get its drive roller replaced. I also have a Horizon 202 and a borrowed Widelux F7, but the Noblex is really the gem of the swing-lens panoramic cameras that have been made in my opinion. These cameras made in Germany in the 1990s were designed to be a modern iteration of the Widelux. They are electronically-controlled and the drum spins a 360 degree circle vs. the ~140 degree arc that the Widelux and Horizon/Horizont use. These
