Zeiss Ikon 520/15 and HP5. An 87 year-old viewfinder folder might not be the ideal camera for tracking a toddler grandson on the move, but it worked out.

Some portrait work this week; second one shot through a glass Christmas ball ornament!

Nice start Peter, I especially like that first one. 

I think this is Kale, it’s still growing in the community garden across the street from my house.  Whoever tends to that plot probably just left it and forgot about it, not much gardening going on in December.  Photographed with a Kodak Bantam Special using Tri-X developed in Rodinal 1:50.

I was out at dawn yesterday which is around 9 AM now. The forecast said fog, but I was cheated! In stead I found a floating dry dock called the Flanders. It was too big for my lens so I had to cut it up. It's my first attempt with the Bergger Pancro 400, I quite like it. But even with 400 ISO I had to use 1/30 sec. so there's a bit of motion blur. Minus 1 C didn't help either.

I kinda like the ornament shot. It has a surrealistic feel to it that I kinda like.

Thanks Francois! I'm working on a series of portraits shot through prisms/glass; getting some fun results so far.
