A couple of 3000b/Land 190 from me here, guestimating the light, shot number two is nighttime. pack 5+ years out of date.
Also learned that the 3000b don“t like to be used in high humidity, the surface of the pictures became "bubbly" and the negative pretty much ruined.

Wonderful start!
Some 4x5 CMS 20 developed in Adotec II. I think the developer has gone bad (lots of floating particles) and it gave a bit of an uneven effect.

A pair from my Konica III on Kodak Portra 160. Taken a few months back, but I sort of forgot about them, and since I haven't been shooting much these last few months, I'm dragging them out.

My first instant photo since I was a little kid. A friend at work set a Polaroid 100 on my desk with a fresh pack of FP3000b and said, "Take a shot." So I did. The next day he set a Nikon S2 on my desk and said, "Shoot a roll." So I am. I like friends like this!! :)

In before midnight!
These look like they're old pictures taken from the winter, but believe or not, they were taken on Tuesday morning. It had snowed overnight and by morning, we had snow trees and some amazing morning light. I was tromping about in my robe outside with my Fuji Instax Wide. The only reason I wasn't late for work was because Passover and Spring Break meant very light rush hour traffic. And there were luckily no cops running speed that morning, either :)

You could probably park three Smarts in the same spot :)

If everyone still drove those in the city we would run out of space a lot faster!

It was a total impulse-trip. After an early-afternoon recording session, I was having a beer with Peter (hookstrapped) and we were talking about how much we wanted to just get out of the city and he mentioned the Hudson Valley and I said YES! and took the next train up :D
Peter & I may do a trip together and if so I'll definitely let you know. Where exactly do you live?

I'm in one of the more inaccessible bits of Putnam County, but I know how to get out. My recommendation is to head a little further up the Hudson Line to Cold Spring, Beacon, or Peekskill (in order of preference, not geography). Good places to eat and drink in all of them, lots of opportunities for the sorts of things that city folk seem to crave (at least judging by the number of them I see on the weekend :P ) as well as photography. I'm out of town this weekend, and things are a little hectic until the semester ends with grading and whatnot, but once my grades are in (mid-May) I've got lots of flexibility. Depending on when, I might even be able to drag limr out from under her rock.

I am sliding some pics in late, but its Easter Monday, which sort of makes it a long weekend (even tho I worked today) ::)
I have not posted for a few weeks, so I am hoping better late than not at all. Some spring shots with my M645 Macro...

If I had to categorize any of them as full of hippies it would be Beacon, though there are a few in Cold Spring as well.
Cold Spring is the most revitalized of them. After decades as a factory town, then as a sleepy backwater, it has been rediscovered. It manages to support a pretty good array of restaurants and antique stores, as well as a few other businesses, relying heavily on people day-tripping up, either just to the town or to hike the trails in Hudson Highlands state park.
Beacon is sort of Williamsburg north. DIA set up shop there a while back with a huge facility, and there are lots of places serving local foods and shops with "artisanal" in the name luring in the hipsters. Lately every shop seems to have a Pete Seeger poster in the window. Both ends of the main drag are like this, with about six blocks of lingering semi-urban blight in the middle.
Peekskill is trying to revitalize itself after decades dealing with the effects of misguided urban renewal efforts - it's making some progress, and there are some interesting things to see and do, but also some areas that are a bit heavier on the post-industrial malaise than others.
I've shot both color and B&W in both places. This time of year the choice is yours; in the winter, everything's gray anyway, so you might as well shoot B&W.
-
I had a gig somewhere upstate a few years ago, I wish I could remember the name of the town, but it was apparently an old casino town but the casinos had closed long ago. What was left behind was some of the most abject poverty I've seen in the US. All sorts of abandoned buildings, people living in broken down/falling apart houses, cars that hadn't seen mechanics in decades, and our "luxurious accommodations" were trailer park-style motel rooms whose beds I was honestly scared of sleeping in. (The gig itself was a wedding in the next town over, which was fabulously wealthy.) Anyways, Peekskill sounds a little like that, so at the risk of shooting what Peter calls "misery porn", I might like to check it out sometime.
-
Peekskill isn't that bad. It's nothing compared to what I saw driving over to Bethel (the actual site of the Woodstock festival, BTW) a few weeks ago. Lots of upstate NY is not in good shape at all.

I know that the same can be said of the Catskills... Nothing has been renewed there for a long time.

That's where my wedding was ... the Catskills. Still don't remember the name of the town.
-
The Catskills used to be the place where the New York Jews would go on summer vacation. All the greatest comics of the time used to go do comedy runs there. Then, airfare became relatively cheap and the usual customers started taking their vacation in the south.
I saw that on PBS... there used to be fantastic hotels with great architecture that could easily hold it up to other greats like the Eden Rock and the Bellagio in Miami. But now they're either falling to pieces, abandoned or simply bulldozed. Pretty sad.
-
NY voters approved a referendum last year to allow casino gambling. It was pushed hard by developers who are planning to take many of those derelict Catskill properties and redevelop them into modern casino destinations (similar to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods in CT). Whether or not this 1) comes to pass, and 2) has spillover effects into the local communities, remains to be seen.
As someone who grew up in this area, I can still (decades after they closed) remember the commercials for Mount Airy Lodge and the Nevele....

That's another bizarre thing about the town that I didn't mention ... it was filled with vacationing Hassidic Jews. There was the "townie" part, which was filled with the broken down cars and falling apart houses that I mentioned, and then there was this park/recreation area that was segregated for (by?) the Hassidic Jews. The rec area was also a snapshot from the 70's ... the little plastic kiddie rides, slides, and swingsets hadn't been replaced since 1978 (all of them sunbleached to the point you couldn't tell what color they were originally), the bungalows were right out of a Woodstock documentary, and perhaps the most bizarre part of all, there was a tall chainlink fence around the whole area, so I was just looking in from the outside. That entire trip (we spent an extra day there just because the wedding party paid for it ... I guess the roach motel was pretty cheap) was like a trip to outer space.
