Nothing says "serious photography" like wearing a dress that looks like it escaped from a bridal shop while attempting to focus a camera that probably weighs more than your first car. This is clearly the moment when "behind the lens" took on a whole new aesthetic meaning. The sheer white dress billowing dramatically while she peers through what appears to be a Hasselblad or similar medium format camera is giving us "fashion photographer's fever dream" energy. Bonus points for the tripod, because nothing complements flowing fabric like industrial-grade camera support equipment.

My New Baby

She's from the 1940s. These don't even require batteries.

Built a waist level view finder for one if my medium format cameras using an old iPhone and a mirror. Testing it against the ground glass back I have puts it in the "good enough" category.

Catching that Cinestill 800T glow with Hasselblad 500CM

I took out the Hasselblad loaded with a roll of Cinestill 800T to catch the light that bleeds beyond the edges as it does on a rainy night. There are a couple of old-time diners around town and I figured they’d make good subjects, cliches be damned. I like the results. I didn’t expect to be able to shoot into one of the diners, but I really like the mood of the lighting in the empty dining room.

Current restoration project: an Ihagee medium format folding camera. I'm not sure of the model. I've been inhaling a lot of rubbing alcohol & orange oil fumes today... Now I just need to check the bellows for light leaks, remove corrosion, and give it a fresh coat of paint.
