Hold the Line !

"Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so.

Hold the line!

Stay with me!

If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you’re already dead!"

Over a Month -- yikes

Added on by John Sturr.

It's been too long - I'll be working on that for the future.  I will say that I get delayed from posting as I copyright all images now.  So there is a 3-4 month delay after the photo is taken before I have a group to register etc.  And after the image is registered, then I can post.  Ugh --- I know... but that's the process.  Ok -- onward.

This image was taken with the newly repaired Rollei 6008i on Ilford Delta 400.  Home processed and scanned - and the scan is excellent.  The negative processed very flat and as always the flatter the better during the scan.  

I really like this image and may print it 24"x24".

No crop.

SLC - with the P330

Here's a grab shot with the pocketed Nikon P330 - in black and white mode.  It's a great photo when the light and situation matches the consumer gear really well.  I love this photo and the what camera captured.  As with all of my images - no crop.

Back from the MAC at PYC

Added on by John Sturr.

At the end of July the Pentwater Yacht Club allows boats returning from Mackinaw to dock overnight - all stacked up.  I shot this the day after the "Back from the Mac" PYC party of the night before.

Shot on the Rollei 6008i - I'm loving the rendering this camera is providing.   Self developed and scanned.

M's sister's English Bulldog - while we were in Northern Idaho on a camping trip.  She's about 60lbs. and is a beast - but a friendly, gentle, nice beast.  We have here sister, Lola - and she's just the same in her actions !

Shot with the Nikon 1 V1 and the 30-110mm. - I know -- digital... how weird ?!?

M with her Mother and Sister - while exploring in Central Idaho.  I'm a big fan of Idaho - great things have happened to me in that State.

It's been a while ...

Added on by John Sturr.

Yes -- it has -- between getting the Rollei 6008i worked on, and keeping in mind and getting the needed copyright registration for any new images, too much time has past.  Well -- I'll make it up.

This is a digital image - shot from the Buss stop and of the Harmon's grocery store facade.  It's really abstract - and I love it.

Shot in April on the Rollei 6008i before I sent it in for repair.  It arrives home on Wednesday;  I can't wait -- but I digress.  These two dogs are sisters -- Lola and Penelope.  We have the Lola and she's a barrel of fun, and Penelope is with my sister in-law.

Developed and scanned in-house.

The non-interesting becomes interesting.

This is from my Rollei 6008i - a mid 1990's medium format 120 film camera.  I love it and this image shows what it rendered.  I recognized the great window light and the scene of the recently washed dishes.  I know right -- but, for me at least, the captured image I cannot stop looking at. The grays, blacks, and whites have perfect tones - and the film does it all justice.

Home developed and scanned on a Nikon LS-8000.
