Old Skool

A few weeks back I had the chance to shoot the demolition of the 111 year old Terrace Avenue school building here in New Castle, PA. The demolition was an emergency demo due to the fact that one of the walls had collapsed earlier, and thus the city had no choice but to bring the [...]
blackbird, fly

Wow, first post in a while. Truth be told, I’ve been busy taking pics for various projects and just haven’t had the time to sit down and write lately. Some of these I’ll share here shortly, but for now, it’s time for a bit of fun. What you see above is my latest acquisition, a [...]
A Walk In The Park

Playing catch-up on my backlog of unedited photos. These are from a day out at Mill Creek State Park in Youngstown, Ohio about a month back. The florals and the above photo (my favorite) are from the Fellows Riverside Gardens there. Well worth a trip if you’re in the region some day. And to wrap [...]
Shack Up

Just a quick post of some recent pics from the Canon Canonet QL17-GIII. Seen this shack millions of times since we moved here and always thought it’d make a great subject for shooting.
Petri-fied

More Petri pics for you tonight! Got the second batch of shots back from the lab and they’re fairly interesting. This time I tried color and, yup indeed, it has that “certain” look to it that I was aiming for when I originally picked up the camera. The only thing I’m noticing is that the [...]
Parkin’

Was out at the local park the other day killing some time after a big meal when I took these shots. Sun was just starting to set and the light was great, so I couldn’t resist.
And the results are in . . . .

Got back my first roll of film shot with the Petri 7S yesterday. Overall, quite impressed. Straight out of camera most of the outdoor exposures were a bit hot, but nothing that a little adjustment in Lightroom wouldn’t fix. To be honest, it may not even be the camera’s fault as I didn’t get prints, [...]
Walkin’

Went to take a walk after dinner yesterday to burn off some fat (it was a good dinner) and took these photos in the process. I particularly like the last one; it just came out exactly like I had envisioned.
Hisashiburi

Went with the family out to Mill Creek Sate Park in Youngstown, OH yesterday to kill some time and get some fresh air. Beautiful day, but the light wasn’t so good for pics. Just the same though, took some snaps w/ the E-420 as the scenery was still quite pretty. Anyway, here’s some of my [...]
Spare Time

Spent some time off with the family this week. Never got much of a chance to take time off over the recent holidays, and feeling stressed, decided to take a break this week and just kick back. Didn’t get a chance to do much shooting as the weather mostly sucked, but we did take a [...]
Backcatalog

Just spent a little time playing catch-up on my backcatalog of recent photos. Had some from the first or second time we went to Mill Creek Park a month or so back, and out of those, these three caught my eye: This first one is a downstream shot from Lanterman Falls, taken from the deck [...]
G-caf

Was emptying out the G-10 tonight after a few weeks use and came across these two fine reminders of early morning comfort.
