Here is a portrait of Juliet who I met 10 minutes before I took this photo of her in China Town, LA. While Having a rest in front of a convenience store which is captured in the second photo. I was approached by Juliet who asked me to take a photo of her because "Tonight is going to be my last night on earth" Juliet stated. I replied saying yes, I would absolutely love to take a photo of you. Shocked by what she had just said to me, I began setting my Nikon F2 with Kodak 200 on the tri-pod. While getting the camera ready I glanced up at her and she smiled at me which clearly attempted to cover the anguish she held within. She was not high, she spoke elegantly and was very polite. She leaned up against a street sign and lit a cigarette waiting patiently. I was trying to decide when to take the photo as the light from the streetlight above was bright and would effect the colors. I ended up taking about 4 images and all except this one were blurry.

After the photos were taken I asked Juliet if I could text or visit her with the results. She replied with "I have no phone or home" she continued by saying "just use the photo to become famous" jokingly. After sharing a smoke with her she told me to a nice night and walked off. I never saw Juliet again. Whether she continues to exist in this plane of existence or has moved on to another, I hope to run into her again somewhere in the world to show how the photo turned out.

Here are the results.

Another angle on one I posted yesterday from the slide film archives M4-P, 35mm Summicron v1 on Fuji Sensia 100

Funny to think this predates the Blackberry much less the iPhone No one looking down!​
 
filedata/fetch?filedataid=113227 A shot from my first roll out of new purchase 1937 Jilona Midget Original Model. The smallest of all, you can literally hide this behind your thumb! When these cameras were developed, the goal was to provide enlarged prints about the size of a 120 contact print. This is the original design by Jiro Nakamura and the optic is unique to this original model. It is a rather large positive meniscus backed by an achromat. It is fixed focus, at 22mm fl thee is a lot of depth of field, even with the fixed aperature of f 6.8. Image from the 14x14mm neg on Agfa APS400S.
