I'll continue to shoot (and probably screw up) more of these dry plates, but at least it's cheaper than color 4x5 film 😅

Large swaths of this land were just sold for a large development near the TSMC chip plant in Phoenix.

Every day they take more of our desert spaces away from us, and soon there will be no more.

Despite all the beautiful colors of the island, I cannot help but shoot black and white film.

I’m not shocked that Amazon doesn’t want you posted about illegal fireworks in your neighborhood. Who cares if you live steps away from the desert that they’re using for the non-permitted aerial fireworks?

Finally getting around to scanning film from Kaua’i. These are the first few miles of the Kalalau Trail.

These are from the Pentax 6x7 on Kodak Ektar film.

Carrying the 6x7 & Speed Graphic up this mountain was certainly a choice.

Took the “new” (to me) Canon 7 out on a hike last weekend. Always good to see a camera works that the shop claims was “CLA’d” but didn’t have the receipt 😅

I don’t know how I’m supposed to afford shooting this Provia 4x5 but I guess I’m going to have to figure it out.

Yes - I lugged my G617 half way across the Pacific for these photos.

Yes - it was worth it.

I bought this 2005 expired Provia 100F 120 film for $5 about 6 months ago and finally used it.

Honestly, you’d barely know it was expired.

Why is slide film so expensive?

It’s finally not a million degrees in the desert, so we can start hiking again.

Took these on a hike in North Phoenix this morning on 4x5 and the digital camera.

Can you tell which are which?

I think there’s between 50-100 postcards in this series so let’s see how many I can get.

The difference 86 years makes.

1939 -> 2025 at the (old) Maricopa County Court House.

From the seller: “Only two prototypes were produced”, and the camera was never in production because it would have “required significant changes in its manufacturing technology and additional factory equipment.”

Going through the list of changes the seller sent to see how it compares to other C’s
Anyone familiar enough with these Mamiya C series cameras to know anything about this C3-S? I’ve seen plenty of these cameras but I can’t seem to find anything about the “S” badging on it.

Making some progress on these gold tin types. It’s quite a bit different from the glass dry plates.
