I’ve a small collection of older cameras. This is a portrait of one of my favorite people, taken with a Voigtlander RF, a folder from the 1930s. It has a Heliar uncoated lens, 105mm, which is appropriate for the 6×9 camera size. The film is Portra 400, 120.

I have done some post processing here, cleaning up a streak running through the film, as well as erasing bits and pieces of odd detritus. I also pushed the color a bit, as the original image was rather pale – perhaps a bit overexposed.

Pooka

It has been a hard week. Seven days ago, our golden retriever, Pooka, had to be put to sleep. He was six years old, and had lymphoma. The decision to put him asleep was not hard, but the fact is, I miss him a lot.

Here are some puppy pictures.

Here he is, a few days before his last.
