Shot at St. John’s Lithuanian Cemetery in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, a suburb of Toronto. This is a double exposure taken on an overcast, rainy day. The weather certainly added a certain visual “mood” to the shot.
Death By Ice Cream
Who doesn’t like ice cream, and who doesn’t like funeral cars? This shot has both! Shot with a TL-120-55 on RDP III.
Kensington
I had just obtained a number of old Kodak Series V filters, so I decided to do some experimenting. I took my Rolleidoscop loaded with Fuji NPH400 to Kensington Market in Toronto and spent the day using the various filters. This was shot with a pair of Y1 filters. I had the NPH400 cross-processed in E6 chemistry by Toronto Image Works (who sadly just discontinued their E6 processing for good).
Riveted
My friend Rick was shooting a bridge near Cherry Street in Toronto and invited me down. Apparently a road crew was about to refurbish the bridge, so we thought we better capture the peeling paint while we had a chance. Shot with TL-120 modified with Sam Smith’s 55mm conversion Mamiya lenses on Fuji film.
Final Rusting Place
Approximately once a year dr5 offers “Dev2” service, which is basically sepia processing. The only Fuji film that can be processed in dr5 is Neopan 400, and at that only in Dev2. When dr5 announced the limited availability of Dev2 last year, I grabbed the only roll of Neopan 400 I had, and drove out to the airport. Behind a strip mall row, beside a dilapidated parts factory, resided a trio of desecrated automobile shells. This was part of that day’s one roll shoot. Shot with a TL-120 modified with Sam Smith’s 55mm conversion, on the aforementioned film using a handheld meter.
Submission 2014
Thanks for allowing me to share my images. I’ve enjoyed your beautiful work
- San Francisco 2013 Fuji gf670w Ektachrome e 100g 20 foot separation
- NYC 2013 Fuji gf670w Ektachrome e 100g 30 foot separation
- National Railroad Museum Rusted old Dodge. EFKE 25 processed by DR5 TL120
- National Railroad Museum Steam Engine EFKE 25 processed by DR5 TL120
I was inspired by David Lee’s great hyperstereos to try shooting some of my own. My first attempt was from the Mark hotel in San Francisco, My second from a rooftop bar in NYC.
The others are EFKE 25 DR5 transparencies shot at the National Railroad Museum in Wisconsin. We just had a 3rd boy and moved to Long Island. I also started a new job, so we’ve been busy. I wouldve liked to attend the NSA this year, but maybe some time soon. If any of you are in NYC drop me a line, perhaps we can meet for some mf3d or other photography
Thank you,

Shadows On the Teche
Located in New Iberia’s Main Street District, set among towering live oak trees draped with Spanish moss on the banks of Bayou Teche, The Shadows, built in 1834 for sugar planter David Weeks, paints a vivid picture of life for the four generations that made this property their home. The Shadows is a Classic Revival-style home with a Louisiana Colonial floor plan and a garden that is as breathtaking as the history preserved here. Continue reading
Grrrrrrrrrr!
Former car parts and spoons take the shapes of mysterious creatures including prehistoric reptiles, bugs, and even aliens at Scrap Daddy’s Art Yard. Art forms are scattered throughout this museum of sorts, among overgrown grass and metal scraps. Welder and gallery owner, Mark Bradford has an eclectic eye for art that has moved him to put his own distinctive mark on the many metal sculptures displayed in the outdoor gallery. Sights for innovative eyes include the 20-foot praying mantis (that I can’t get out of my mind), a flying saucer, and an automobile-sized scorpion. Bradford welcomes free visits to his yard daily.
Michele de George
Image taken with the TL 120 in a local cemetery. The Glenwood Cemetery is located at 2525 Washington Avenue in Houston, Texas. It was the first cemetery in Houston to be professionally designed and opened in 1871. The cemetery is situated between Washington Avenue on the North side and Memorial Drive on the South side, the latter overlooking Buffalo Bayou. Designed in the tradition of other romantic rural cemetery parks of the 19th century, Glenwood’s beautiful landscape and towering trees provide the visitor a place of quiet respite just one mile west of downtown Houston.
Bethel Baptist Church
The new Bethel Baptist Church Park was developed while memorializing the history and significance of this land to the Fourth Ward. Fourth Ward was the site of the original Freedmen’s Town neighborhood established by freed slaves after the Civil War. Bethel Missionary Baptist, founded in the late 1800’s by the Rev. Jack Yates, has had three sanctuaries on the same site, the earliest built in the 1890’s. The most recent church building, built in 1923, was gutted by fire in 2005, but the walls are still standing. The city bought the property in 2009 to preserve the church facade and to provide park space. The Bethel Park Project restored three walls and converted the rest of the property into a park. It is a really cool place to sit and meditate.
Hluboka Fairytale Palace
This Czech palace looks like a wedding cake, both from far away and close up. What’s great is that it has been in constant use as the setting for Czech children’s movies and TV shows about historic times (Princes and Princesses and such).
Tabor Square
This is a TL120 image taken on Provia 100f film. I believe it was shot at f16 and 125th. I just had to get a shot of this fabulous statue on the top of the fountain in the square of Tabor, Czech Republic. We stopped in this historic town for some lunch, and as usual, I was delayed in ordering.
Charles Bridge, Prague
If you go to Prague, you will inevitably find the fine stone bridge built by King Charles I. It is one of the oldest stone bridges in Europe and is a very popular attraction in the heart of the medieval town. This image was shot with my TL120 camera on Provia 100f film. Maybe on the next round I will have a similar, only hyper shot from my Lubitel hyper rig. I still have to take the film in for processing.
Avebury Hyper
This image is a medium format redo of one of my earliest stereo images, and one of my favourite places on Earth. I backpacked through England in my youth looking for stone circles to photograph. I borrowed my friend’s Revere and shot about 5 rolls of Kodachrome slides, my first experience with stereo (outside of Viewmaster). I still have my first ever hyper stereo (cha cha) slide, in Realist format (two actually). This was my proud return. I found the same spot and set up my twin Lubitel rig. Almost all shots on my Lubitels are 125th and f16. I set the shutters by recording the sound they make using Audacity, and I don’t dare try to change the speed settings. In the field, this rig is a bear to set up, so I also usually save time by leaving the apertures at f16 and wait for bright sunlight. This way I can leave the focus at the hyper focal, so I can concentrate on the composition. it’s a hyper rig, so most objects are near infinity anyhow. I trigger the rig with two cable releases. One in each hand.
The stone circle at Avebury was described by the archaeologist, Aubrey, as being like a great cathedral, compared with Stone Henge, which is more like a village church. This image shows only a small part of the circle. A large part of the town of Avebury is actually inside the circle. The stone my wife Kamila is posing in front of is called the “Barber stone” since one of the medieval residents who tried to destroy the “Pagan” circle was crushed by this stone when it was toppled, and he was found with a pair of scissors.
Looking Through the Ice
This is a different kind of ice shot. This is a glacier segment which has calved, floated out into the lake, and been trapped in the lake ice when winter arrived. We skated out to the trapped bergs, before shedding our skates to investigate. It was at least 15′ from the surface of the lake to the tunnel roof.
Based on the size of the tunnel, and the shape of the scallops on the walls, I suspect this began as a vertical shaft (moulin) draining water from the surface of the glacier to the interior. The wind and sun continue to work on the ice even in the winter.
