More and more film fun with something other than a Leica M

Scott - The guitar won't be back for at least a couple of weeks. I thought it just needed frets, but it also had a loose internal brace, the bridge needs re-glueing and the nut has to be re-cut and shifted the slightest amount toward the base side. It's not really that pretty of a guitar. I'm pretty sure it was one of the lowest priced models - all mahogany with no frills. But, boy, it's one sweet sounding box. My girlfriend is the musician in the family, playing professionally in at least three separate bands here in L.A. including Lisa Haley and the Zydekats. Me, I just dink around and have fun but I do enjoy a nice sounding instrument.

It's always funny to me that when I go back to shoots from years ago I find frames that were far better than the ones we originally used. A trip to Westwood Music Sunday afternoon to have my old Martin 00-17 (1948) worked on reminded me that I had photographed Lyle on the roof of their old location on Little Santa Monica Blvd. for the cover of Acoustic Guitar Magazine - sometime in the late '90's, I think.

This is shot with T-Max100 in direct sun with a red 25A filter, developed in T-Max Developer and scanned on a Howtek 8000.
Rolling Stone Cover Shot Material!!! Phenomenal!

One from the weekend walk-about in the Wynwood Arts District. More to follow later.

Fuji Klasse W with HP5+/Rodinal. Negative "scanned" with Canon 5DMkII/100mm macro.
Claire: Very creative angle and composition. Crisp B & W. What kind of setup are you using to "scan" the negative with the dslr?

Leica II, Leitz Elmar

OlliL: Nice work with the Leica II! :thumbup:

Nikon F5,50 1.4G,Kodak BW400CN:cool:
Steve: Truly a son of Boston. Unusual tattoo work. More signage then art? 1. Strong B & W contrast highlights the interesting "indian" coat and his downward look; 2. excellent tight crop, composition, grain and tone; 3. great composition, the leopard couch is a nice counterpoint to him. :thumbup:

Cheers, Matt

Some Holga...
And a Hassy. I am not sure where my recent fascination/obsession with bridges and tunnels comes from, but bear with me because I can't stop....:cry:
Scott: Nice work! I really enjoy your bridge and tunnel shots. This one's impressive. BTW, you've really got a nice thing going with the different cameras. :thumbup:

These go back a little. Cheers, Matt.

1. My buddy Danny; Nikkormat; Kodak Tri-X Pan; 1974; I probably couldn't tell if it was in focus , or, not; it works for me, because that's the way he was at the time


2. A.J., another friend; Nikkormat; mid-1970's;


3. Jill; Nikkormat; early-1970's; i took a lot of underexposed photos!

More old stuff....found and scanned a few faded slides from when I first got a used 'blad. I remember jumping for rock to rock shooting it like an Instamatic. B&W conversion.

Scott: Thanks! I'm pretty sure he came into focus in the 80's. :D

Steve: Thank you! Any more "old school" and I'd be.... :D

Scott, that first one just blew me away.

Such great colours! How much PP was applied?


Another one from the Leica II, with the Super-Wide Heliar 15mm

The darkening on the left is caused by my (gloved) finger, touching the (turning) shutter speed dial... :eek:

Thanks! Very minimal PP done on that one, just the normal touching up for dust, and a little bit of contrast.

I love your 15mm shot, whenever I used one I could never hold the camera straight and you see the curvature of the earth...
