My goofball kid and a sledding platform at her school that saw some creative reuse during the summer.

Nice Jack!

I like the storyboard feel to the images.

what equipment did you use?

[Jack Johnson]

Thanks, Alan!

Pentax Spotmatic SPII, Auto Mamiya/Sekor 55mm f/1.8 (shot probably 1/500s @ f/4), Kentmere 100 at box speed in Reinhold's Caffenol-C-M recipe, 12 minutes @ 20°C.

The lens was a freebie on another body I bought, it's really beat to hell, but shots like the second keep me coming back to it. Something about the way it degrades, something not quite modern and not quite classic about both the sharpness and the bokeh.

I spent a good chunk of the summer shooting with a Great Wall DF-2 and got addicted to live depth of field in the viewfinder, so I sought out the Spotmatic to see if I would like that flow in a 35mm camera and I'm so glad I did.
