It's been awhile since I've kept track with this blog. 2014 was pretty crazy for me, I've kept busy with work and my love for photography. I can't wait to continue the same, and then some into 2015.

I want to start the year out fresh. I'll be posting rolls of film as I capture them over the course of the year. I'll update with camera and film information as I go. Hopefully this will be a 52 week project, but maybe I can post more often?

The most recent film I worked on was Kelly Weston's BARE. It's her senior thesis, and we all worked a lot and killed it. We spent a weekend away at his vacation house in Harrisburg.


WESTON HOUSE (1st shoot)
Minolta srT303b
Minolta 50mm f1.4 lens
Three Year Old - Lomography ISO 100

Love-love-love. This camera is a brick and handles well in low light with the f1.4 lens. I was super impressed. I'm happy with the colors of the film once I scanned the negatives. The negatives became scratched and damaged after I had them processed at a local Walgreens. I won't be doing that again...

If you find yourself in a thrift store or on ebay, search for the Minolta srT303b and you will not be disappointed.

My favorite photograph from Day 1 of the film shoot. Derek, Kelly, Jon, and Tom talking about lighting setups for the bedroom.


Jon Kobryn adjusting the bounce on the bedroom light. We used several Arri 650 lights.


Kelly and Derek going over camera shot adjustments before we begin to roll.

HARRISBURG
The next shoot dates we traveled and stayed at Kelly's vacation home in Harrisburg. It was a very long and adventure filled weekend.

Praktica LLC
Pentacon 50mm f1.8 lens
Three Year Old - Lomography ISO 100

My Praktica has severed me well. It's a beast and well worth $10 when I found it on a shelf in an antique shop roughly two years ago. I particularly love the Pentacon lens that it came with. Searching for the brand lens me to find my Pentacon Six medium format SLR.















Pentacon Six
Carl Zeiss 80mm f2.8 Biometer lens
Kodak Portra ISO 160 - 120 film
This lovely I found in a thrift store. It was marked with two lenses for $30. I nearly fainted when I saw it. I've since replaced the leather skin, because it was cracked and perhaps resulted in the low price. It works like a 35mm slr, but it's heavier, and takes 120 film. I also have a wide angle lens for it.
