Sewing projects – summer blouses of 100% cotton are nearly impossible to find these days. Everything has spandex. I hate buying clothes these days because of it – all it does is make me sweaty. I guess it’s time to learn how to make pants, too, because of all that crappy spandex. Or start wearing dresses.
This is another metered image from the Pentax 6×7 on Lomo 100.
A couple of weeks ago, in the midst of all the destruction-construction going on in the house, a moment on eBay, and this little camera caught my attention: a twin lens reflex 35mm camera. It is an Agfa Flexilette, made only for one year (1960-61 I think). It was a bit of a bidding war and I was really happy to get it. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to play with it, but it is loaded up with Lomo 100 and I hope, as the domestic chaos winds down, I can get it out to see how it does photographically. Mechanically, it’s smooth as silk, with large knobs and dials, which make it work very nicely.
Oh, BTW, I took this picture with my new tablet – an iPad 2018 (I had to replace my dying Samsung) on my new floors in my still-empty studio!
Looks like something out of a SciFi flick or something, but it is just a tunnel under a road in Mesa Verde National Park.
How can you not but want to capture vintage neon?
If you know anything about the Olympus XA4 camera, you know that it has a strap which helps measure distances for close-up shot. I used the shortest distance strap, set the distance on the camera, and here we are! Lomo 100 film, Pakon 135 scanner, Olympus XA4, autumn morning . . .
