55 And still kicking. Using this account for my photography mostly. Trying to complete another year of 52 Frames. Interested in: photography, dinosaurs, auto repair, vintage-just-about-everything, gaming, TTRPGs, science, music, and just about anything.

No Wrong Lenses

In photography, there aren't any wrong lenses. Period.
There are better ways to phrase this week's challenge other than implying that there is a "right" lens for each situation. It’s your art.

The Red Queen
"...When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head..." -Jefferson Airplane "White Rabbit"

Tesseract
Softly inspired by the bookshelf in Interstellar. Here's one of my bookshelves that helps transport me to other worlds.

The Mill on the Blackstone

Slater Mill in Pawtucket, RI has been a part of my entire life.
I thought this was an interesting angle of the mill at the falls.

It's the Finest Things...
It's not just wine, it's Prosecco. It's not just a cigar, it's Arturo Fuente. It's not just a camera, It's a Leica.

I know... Pretentious. But it's all in fun.

“ Dream, Daffodil, Dream... ”
The shine for so short a time, but are such beautiful little joys in the world.

Of course I underexposed the photo this week!

Legs

Scutigera coleoptrata is one of my all-time favorite inverts. They're beautiful and helpful and scare the dickens out of most people. But they're here to help, honest!

The Great Wizard Yashica

I've been on a film kick lately and one of my pick-ups was this Yashica Super-TL
It's a fantastic camera and just feels right in the hand.

Jonesy!
First 120 roll developed. I got two images. Gotta keep at it and find a better method to scan the images, but for a half-assed first crack with a 5D classic and a nifty 50, it can only get better from here.

Hope Lies Ahead

Find a path through the darkness and the light will show you the way.
At least, that's the hope.

In all my years of shooting film, I never bothered to develop my own. It was just too easy to send it off and get prints in an hour. A lifetime later, I find myself shooting film again, and finally taking a hand in turning those shots into something physical.

1979

It’s the greatest egg in cinematic history. Full stop.
You all know the reference.

Hot Diggity!

Just wrapped up my first roll of 120 film. Can’t wait to see if there are any light leaks in the Rolleicord III.
First time shooting medium format for me. Wheeeeee!

Ghosts

We all have them in our past. This is one of mine. Apex was a department store in my hometown. It was a part of my childhood, and my adolescence. It's closed now, and the building is deteriorating at an advancing rate.

Here’s my first flash. Me. Week 1 of the 52Frames challenge is always a self portrait. I’ll begin my Flashes journey here.
Took me a long time to come to Counting Crows. After seeing them live in 2016 I was sold.
Here there latest…

More photos from the GRIII walk
Some photos this week. Took the GRIII for a walk.

I love the b&w
“Looking for a Hookup”
Gina stared at the sign and the standpipe smiling while her inner 14 year old laughed and laughed…

The standpipe and sign just needed a victim to complete the scene. Luckily i had one!
