Pinhole Dog Again
My dog poses for a pinhole portrait. Vaguely psychedelic, in my humble opinion. Shot with a Pinhole 100 camera on Fuji FP-100C instant film.

La Romería de Nuestra Señora de las Virtudes
La Romería de Nuestra Señora de las Virtudes occurs in Fuente de Piedra on the second Sunday in May. It starts on Saturday, when an icon of the virgin is taken from the church, placed on an oxcart, and walked past the Laguna to a spot in the countryside. In this case, the countryside spot is a picnic sight near a campground/ caravan park. The following day is spent at the picnic spot, and in the evening the icon is walked back to the church. I shot quite a few photos of the camino to the campground (on color and black and white). The color shots won't be ready for a while, but here is a selection of some of the black and white. All were shot with a Rolleicord Va on TMax 400 film.

My Rolleicord Still Works!
Many years ago, I dropped my Rolleicord on a studio floor. The lenses and viewfinder survived the fall, but the back no longer closes properly. Not long after that happened, I packed the camera away and moved to a different apartment, always meaning to get the thing fixed. Fast forward ten years (ten years!?!), and I've finally dusted off the Rollei and taken it for a walk in the woods. I have to keep the back taped shut but otherwise it still works fine. Hooray! Here are a few shots from the first roll shot on my bent but not broken Rollei.

More Shots From Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2011
All of my WPPD film has been processed and scanned. Most of my 4 x 5 negatives were damaged, due to my exuberant and curious cat deciding to jump on the film changing bag as I was loading my developing tank. In my rush to finish loading the tank in order to free my hands and remove the cat from on top of the bag I pushed the top clip down too far, thus squashing some of the sheets of film together. The resulting damage is visible on the bottom two images. I think the cat will have to stay in a different room next time. All three were shot with a Leonardo 4 x 5 pinhole camera on TMax 100 sheet film. I'll probably submit a photo to the WPPD gallery later today. I'm leaning towards one of the Zero 2000 shots. I'll post a link to the gallery once I decide which photo to send.

WPPD 2011 Update
My Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day plan was a bit too ambitious, as I did not have the energy at the end of the day to process my film. Even my usually overly-energetic dog was wiped out. We spent most of the day hiking around the olive groves outside of our town, where I shot two rolls of 120 on the Zero 2000 and a few sheets of 4 x 5 with the Leonardo. I did process one roll of black and white 120 last night, and I'm hoping to get to the sheet film later today. Here are a few of the shots from the 120 roll. I'll decide which shot to submit to the WPPD gallery after the sheet film is processed.
