hi all,
after taking the suburb train for around... 5 stations I arrived in a nice city nearby, called Paris. Not the Paris you're thinking of : it is the genuine Paris, the one in the middle of France (according to CNN's riots map last November. Had they seen a map of France before??).
They were taken with my Kiev 3a and a J8 (1957), shooting on TriX 400 pushed up to 640, but some of them were taken with my 59 Rolleiflex (the squarish ones).
I processed them with Rodinal (well Fomadon R09) and printed them on nice glossy Kentmere paper, and here's the result.
Unfortunetely, my numrizer is just appaling and makes huge stripes on the photos :bang: :bang:
So please be tolerant to those stripes, after all there are 13 of them on the American Flag...

here they are : photophoto.bloxode.com

There are some other photos, as I use my blog as a gallery.
The first ones are the newest, the others are sometimes very personal and not that interesting... it's a blog after all!!

I can.
The Métro series is excellent, Stéphane, but "le Complot" is the one I like best: something about the mood and the suggested story. And the stripes weren't half as huge as you made them out to be! :)
 
great photo's.. makes me want to go to france even more than I do already. Those stripes were a little distracting, but of course, relax one's eyes and they blur a little, its fine :)
 
Stephane

very nice, thanks for sharing.

I hope Congress doesn't enact laws that require all photos carry those red/white/blue stripes from now on ;)
 
I have had stripes too on a fujicolor film which was outdated, they looked purple and green. But your pictures are great anyway :)
 
It is the first time I've seen a Kiev compared to the disastrous Tupolev Concorde copy...
Did you know that NASA has a second-hand one for sale?
Very nice series of photo's btw.

What is a numrizer?

numerizer sorry. It may not be a real English word, is it?
And I had heard about that 2nd hand Nasa Tupolev, but I didn't know they wanted to sell it. Have they finished their experiment? Boeing was planning to build a RELIABLE super-sonic out of it...
I don't think it's the right place for Tupolevian stories by the way... let's just say it crashed because a French Mirage flow under the Tupolev during it demonstration flight in 72 in order to... take photos , the russian pilot tried to avoid the collision, it created a no-gravity situation that disconnected the hydro-electric controlers, and the plane crashed.
Here was the Former Soviet Unability session:p
 
I found the advertisement somewhere between other second-hand jet liners about a year ago. There was no price-tag (nor a shopping-cart:D)
 
really! I didn't even think you could buy second hand jet liners on the Internet... but famous shop Harrod's in London sells new and used private jets!

Oops... it seems it's slightly out of subject...


after searchings on Google, it turned out that the Tu144 was eventually sold for 10 millions $ on.. EBAY!!! but finaly was removed for legal issues.///

A numerizer is a thingy that turns stuff into numbers. Spontaneously imaginitive I thought, that's what makes languages grow.
 
It's certainely true. I saw in a 1980s photography manual a photo actually numerized : it was turned into a serie of figures, that could look like, if you stood far enough from the image, a photograph.
Is the thing you numerize with is a... scanner? oh yes : flat bed scanner. it's called a futon scanner otherwise :D (flat bed=> futon got it?)
