35mm
« on: November 06, 2009, 06:04:11 AM »
Still love it---one of my favorites is a point'n'shoot Yashica T-4 with a Zeiss 35mm  (the kind with the 'periscope') that caused havoc in the household by wandering off (e.g., discreetly inhabiting the bicycle gear basket) for several months. It was a day of celebration when the prodigal reappeared... Another old favorite: a Nikon FE2.

Saw prints from Richard Gordon's sly, witty 'American Surveillance' 35mm project at Robert Koch (SF) this past January (shot on a Leica). And now Robert Bergman is opening his much-anticipated  portrait show at  Yossi Milo---all 35mm work. Nice. Would love to see it in the flesh.

Niiiice.

Is it weird thought that I thought I saw John Lennon in the top right reflection?
Just at a glance.

Now that you pointed it out, I see it too.

Lovely. I'm a huge fan of the T4 although I've never owned one. A lot of my favourite snappers use them for p'n's duties. I recently opted for the Ricoh GR1s (thanks, Skorj), but was tempted by a T4 too. t4's are great for taking photos at small, sweaty gigs.
 :D

John Lennon? Nah, I see Michael Jackson (much as it pains me).

that is an amazing picture.  Really nice. The only 35mm shot I ever really was happy with was of fish too:

Nice. Something about koi that is calming, and you've captured that feeling nicely here.

Leon, this one reminds me of that fantastic shot of the white hound running toward the camera (that you posted in 'Dogs')...
Did you ever print this?

Yes on the swap, leon. But are you a patient man? The 35mm koi makes a nice print---but it's (regrettably)  a pain in the neck, too, for this stickler, and I have my work cut out  for the next month or so to get prints finished for a January show. But after that...? (I print it on Bergger, a warm tone fiber.)

Those smoky ones, moominsean: like Wayne Levin among the sea creatures...

An analog photo blog that may be of interest to this group---and I think is almost exclusively 35mm---is 'Your Waitress' http://www.yourwaitress.com. Valerie Cochran shoots copiously, unself-consciously, and with genuine (and endearing) curiosity. Her portrait of NYC street photographer Louis Mendes is terrific. He gave her one shot; here it is:   http://www.yourwaitress.com/photoblog/2009/5/22/finding-louis.html

He's a cool looking dude! I wished I looked like that in a portrait!
