Hi all,

Each year I host a neighborhood get-together for wine (parents) and pictures (kids), and later make prints for the parents. I take pictures in February and deliver the prints during the holidays, so by the time they receive them the kids have changed quite a bit. This is my fifth year and the kids are growing like weeds.

Each year I use a different camera but this year was a Plaubel Makina 670, printed on Ilford Warmtone RC.

Have a great weekend!

That sounds like fun, Jeff! I bet the kids love the pictures too.

Very nice shots, Kai, and thanks. The kids do like seeing themselves in black and white, and this year I made a video showing the latent image appearing on the paper so they can understand it a bit better. I hope the project lasts a good long time.

That’s great Jeff, I do the same at our holiday party with Polaroids, no children though, just a bunch of drunk adults. 

These were shot with my mothers old Kodak Brownie Reflex 127 camera on Ilford HP5+, developed in beer.

Kudos, Jeff, from me as well. Great idea. I do something similar-ish, yearbook-style pictures of family members every couple of years. Goal is to have a moment-in-time collection for my grandchildren and their future children, to help them identify faces when they go through the archive, downstream.

A couple of shots from the newly-resurrected Konica C35. The repair tech installed a 1.5V battery, I guess for meter testing. I shot the first half of the roll with that battery, to see if he had adjusted the voltage circuit, but the camera seemed to under-expose by at least a stop. For the second half, I used a 1.35V zinc-air battery and everything seems fine. It's fun to have the camera working after so many years.

Great shots everyone. Especially Bryans Shipwreck Point and Zebra are fabulous.

I'm a little late this weekend. I took all of the following photos with my Olympus OM-1 on Fomapan 400 (developed in Caffenol-C-H (RS)). The first two shots I took in Darmstadt, the second one near home with a red filter. I actually love the grittiness that I get with that really dark red filter.
