Signs

I'm still slowly scanning film from our trip to Bordeaux.  I've almost completed all of the color, but I still have about ten rolls of black and white to process and scan.  I might need to take more vacation days in order to find the time to process my vacation film!

These were all shot on the roads near Petit Palais, France.  All were shot with a Zero 2000 pinhole camera on Kodak Ektar 100 film.

Oxcart

Here is my entry for the Old School Photo Lab's (oldschoolphotolab.com) Old School Photo Contest.  Contest details can be found here.

Why an oxcart?  Because before the horseless carriage there was the horse, before the pickup truck there was the oxcart.  What could be more old school than that?

Shot with a Rolleicord Va on Kodak Ektar 100 film at the Romería de Nuestra Señora de las Virtudes in Fuente de Piedra, Malaga, Spain, May, 2011.

Sunflowers

Here in Fuente de Piedra, the sunflowers are already brown and drying in the heat, but I've finally gotten around to scanning these shots from a couple of months ago.   All were shot with a Zero 2000 medium format pinhole camera on Kodak Ektar 100 film.

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.

Moulins de Calon

I'm slowly scanning film from our recent trip to Bordeaux.  Here are a couple from the first roll.  The Moulins de Calon are located near Montagne, and were originally built in the 16th century.   Two are fully restored.  Shot with a Zero 2000 medium format pinhole camera on Kodak Ektar 100 film.

Polaroid Week 2011, Day Four

Sunflowers are the subject, again.  This time, I used a sheet of my dwindling supply of Polaroid Type 55 film.  Twenty second exposure, shot with a Leonardo 4x5 pinhole camera.
