Saint-Émilion

I picked up a 35 mm full frame scanner adaptor this week.  Scanning 35 mm film with the sprocket holes is now much less of a pain in the neck.  Here's a few shots from last summer that I've finally gotten around to scanning.  All were shot with a blackbird, fly plastic camera on 35 mm Fuji film.

Comments are always welcome.  Thanks for visiting!

Cows

We encountered this trio of beautiful, curious cows on our recent trip to France.  They live in a small field near Petit Palais, and were kind enough to pose for a few portraits.  All were shot with a blackbird, fly plastic camera on Fuji Superia film.

Rocks

We're heading north for vacation starting tomorrow.  I'm hoping we might be able to swing by Bakio beach  - one the best spots for sea glass scrounging I've encountered.  Both of these photos were shot there last summer, on 35 mm film using a blackbird, fly plastic camera.

Almond Blossoms

I finally got around to scanning some photos from early March.  The almond trees here bloomed while it was still cold (in February).  As of today, all of the almond flowers are gone and the trees are green.  Shot on 35 mm film, using a blackbird, fly camera.

Bilbao

My pile of unscanned negatives is growing.  Also, my black and white chemistry arrived last week (which means new 4 x 5 shots are coming soonish).  Unfortunately, my taxes will not do themselves and my crappy day-job will also not do itself.  Grumble.  Anyhow, here's a bbf shot from the archives.  Shot in Bilbao (on a typically overcast day) in the old industrial zone near the river, on 35 mm film using a blackbird, fly plastic camera.  Now, back to work.

Busy day today.  Here's one from last year.  Shot on 35 mm film with a blackbird, fly plastic camera.  Sheep on a hillside outside of Galdacano, Spain.

Cat Peers from a Window

Fuzzy Cat, 2010

Here's another one from last spring.  It's out of focus. but I like the added fuzziness of the cat.  Shot on film, using a blackbird, fly plastic camera.

Another lo- fi landscape from the stack of recently scanned new (old) negatives.  A view from the beach in Biarritz, France.  Shot on film with a blackbird, fly camera.

About four months ago, I set aside some recently processed negatives that needed to flatten for a while.  Yesterday, I remembered I still had not scanned them.   Hooray for new (old) photos!  Here's one from last summer, shot on a blackbird, fly plastic camera.
