An ornamental steel wire dress form transformed by my wife into a living outside ornament. The lower half is stuffed with dirt and the frame is with flowers to bloom throughout the Summer.
It's really quite nice when it all comes together.
Rolleiflex 6008 - with Fuji film - developed with Arista Liquid Color home kit.

Rollei 6008 - Fuji Film with Arista Kit home development.
This was taken the Summer of 2015. But I can't remember if this was from the Rollei 6008 or the Yashicamat124G.
Self developed and scanned - all in house.
120mm Fuji Film - Yellow Stone National Park
Shot last Summer in a remote area with the Holga 120 Panorama. I feel sorta fortunate to have one now - as production has ceased. None are made anymore.
Last August a friend let me borrow his Leica M6 - it was wonderful.
Taken at the Starbucks on State Street; it is one of my favorites. It was a grab shot while waiting in line for service.
I was so hoping she wouldn’t look up - and she didn’t.
It matches the frame of medium format film perfectly.
No crop - Kodak Portra 400.
Yashicamat124G - MF Film
One of my favorites from this last summer - shot on some expired Fuji RPH400, in the Rollei 6008i
Yellowstone NP
Yellowstone National Park - Old Faithful Inn.
A wonderful place and magical where the facility has been updated to todays standards but visually kept to look original. Shot on Ilfords Delta 400 with a Rolliflex 6008i. Ilford's Delta is a wonderful film stock which has a resolution much crisper than their HP5.
Shot on a Rollei 6008i, mid Summer of 2015 with Ilford Delta 400 - early morning to capture the dramatic angle of the sun. Home developed and home scanned with a Nikon LS-8000.
There is a lot going on in this scene - and I'm happy with it's outcome.

This is one of the entrances of this Art Museum in Michigan. Shot with the Rollei 6008 in late Aug.

It’s been a tough Month since surgery. But things are getting better !
A month ago, the beginning of September, I went under the knife, AGAIN, to investigate / remove the re-growth of a Meningioma . Ugh.
As luck would have it - it wasn’t a Meningioma - but a regrowth of cells causing irritation to the optic nerve bundles. But - I’m still going thru the same recovery process - which is a bit of a pain.
Nikon P330
This was an unpredictable roll -- some frames just didn't turn out well. The advantage of the hybrid / digital workflow offers powerful corrective actions in post. I have no idea how that was completed to satisfaction back in the day.
