Fire in the Sky

Rush rush to the park, buzz building, people streaming in the same direction, cans in carrier bags & kids on shoulders, hurry on up c'mon don't miss it, wet grass & leaves underfoot, to stand & watch the fire in the sky, Heroes blasting, the guns shot above our heads, excited like a kid, like a catherine wheel ready to burst.

Summer with Kodak Six-20 Brownie Junior

More photos made with the battered old Kodak Six-20 Brownie Junior from the family treasure chest. Polka dots and numbers are the backing paper markings on the 120 film, as is that charcoal texture, which I quite like. Almost like seeing the frame numbers when looking at a contact sheet.

Mountain Camp

More road-tripping: waking up under cool forest shade, searching for elusive moufflon, driving through valleys, past fields & orchards to the sun-setting sea...

Walk Through the Woods

Bare Cherry Tree (as seen by Kodak Brownie Junior)

Early this year i discovered an old Kodak Six-20 Brownie Junior Super Model (to give it its full name) at my house in Cyprus. Considering they stopped making these little beauties in 1940, I figured it must have been my grandfather's. Below are some of my first photos from the camera, just testing out focusing distance and how light-proof it is. As you can see, some serious light leaks, but I still love this camera. I've started on some portraits, I think they'll work nicely.
