I should be able to get a glass made locally. Thanks for the paper idea. That matches my current motivation level for this camera.

@timp those are really tremendous! I can only aspire to reach this level of abstraction so far.

Thanks for the kind words… Have to confess, I visited an exhibition by one of New Zealands greatest landscape painters Colin McCahon… and left the exhibition with a mantra: I have got to find ways to get more negative space into my photos! McCahons paintings are so powerful…

@timp These are beautiful
Strongly reminded me of some shots by Harry Callahan (here and here, for example; in case you don’t know his work.

Well, I completely failed on all these promises. Over promised and under delivered. Life gets in the way. I’m going to need to think about whether I can prioritize any photography stuff.

I’m with you - keep looking at the darkroom, the cameras, the film in the freezer…I think the main thing is all my creativity is going into the music. Also, I’m better if I photograph with a theme or project in mind - and I am short on ideas and inspiration to get me started. It will happen though!

From recent road trip to Takaka, NZ

I’d done virtual recces (on google maps & google earth) to this location but both times I actually got there to shoot the weather was not great… but happy with the results!
moody weather = moody photos?

Some photograms from a cameraless photography course I attended. Analogue darkroom stuff is so much fun. Hoping to do more in 2020.

these are beautiful,
and beautifully constrained colour pallette

whenever I shoot something with interesting colour pallette
its kinda fun to upload them to sites that extract colours from them
(eg paint your kitchen/website with the dominant shades from polaroid 1 etc)
