On both of these days, I’ve intentionally shot with subject in full sun, breaking with past attempts to control contrast with cloudy skies. I like the way my subject looked in full sun, so why not.

Been out photographing with my Intrepid 4x5 twice in the last 3 days but keep forgetting to take phone shots to share here. 😖

I really wish that a Minolta Maxxum sage could tell me why all 4 of these lenses mount and work on the 7000 but only 3 on the XTsi. Can you guess which is the rogue lens? #minolta #maxxum

And . . . I am here to share and learn.

So to clarify, after semi hanging out here for awhile, it’s time to join the conversation and contribute what I can. I make my photography with film cameras (mostly vintage), develop the film myself, and make prints in the darkroom. This pleases me and helps me to stay (mostly) sane.

Hello Bluesky world, I’m finally jumping in (or taking off in the great . . .).
