why i'm here...

[back alley]

gear and photography.

maybe i'm just a simple kind of guy...

joe

oh yeah, and for you guys too!

 

[edodo]

love the portrait, is it avaible light?

 

[back alley]

of the man in the hat?

it was an outdoor movie set, about 2 or so in the morning and the actors were on a break.

I agree with Edodo... that's a really great shot, Joe. It looks very "noir" and suggestive. Don't say it's an actor: it's a gumshoe on a mission... 🙂

 

[back alley]

that was with a minolta 90/4 lens.
can't remember the film but likely something 400 and ilford.

I'm here to read the witty comments.😉

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

I thought you were here for the dental plan 🙂

Wait, I forgot Canada has a real dental plan. Hmm. OK, gear's fine, Joe 😉

 

[clarence]

Honestly, I'm here for the same reasons.

I'm here for the same reasons and more.

And I also have a picture with a man with hat!

I wish we had a dental plan. I have to pay for my kids dental visits

Gear talk, shooting techniques, shared lunacy, what more could a guy ask for?
(don't answer that)

Todd... you're killing me here.. what is the story on the Kiev? Custom paint and finishing or original? I'm experiencing equipment envy, it makes my Kiev 4AM look like I should get it a buff up

 

[Todd.Hanz]

I bought it from another member here, used it twice and it just sits on a shelf looking pretty 🙂, I should sell it to someone who'll use it. It was a repaint but before i got it. It looks really smooth.

No kidding. I've had to put off buying a 4x5 just because my dentist says I need $8k worth of work.

My wife says it shows what is wrong with me that I moan about not getting the camera, not an $8k bill or weeks of pain 🙂

Driving home from the RFF meet last weekend...

My Wife: "Oh my God, there are actually people out there like you (with cameras and photography)!"

I guess that sums up why I am here.

Yeah, I make my wife look at the site once and a while just to prove that I'm not alone 😀

Ciao Joerg

joerg, it's the older model of the m grip from photoequip. i had to drill out and polish a large hole in the bottom so i can hit the film release button, not too hard.
looks good and with a wrist strap makes for a comfortable kit.
