I was going to call this set “Dancing in 645 Time”, but I thought that sounded really pretentious, so, I went with something equally as creative; “2018 Submissions”.\u00a0 I was going to use the word “Dancing” because these four images are all cha-chas.\u00a0 I am a musician, and I know there’s no such time signature as 645, but I was going to use it as part of the title as all these images were shot in 645 format.<\/p>\n

\"My<\/p>\n

“My Thriving Ceramic Hobby” – I used to enjoy creating ceramic sculpture, and when we moved into this house (years ago) I set up a pottery shed in the backyard.\u00a0Unfortunately, the equipment has lain dormant for a while now.\u00a0 I am hoping to eventually resume my ceramic hobby and build some ceramic stereo pinhole cameras.\u00a0 You’re looking at two Skutt kilns under plastic behind the pottery shed.\u00a0 This is a cha-cha\u00a0captured with a noisy Fujifilm GA645W.<\/p>\n

\"Horned<\/p>\n

“Horned Sentinels On A Hot Tin Roof” – this is self-explanatory and should be a familiar scene for\u00a0almost all film shooters.\u00a0 This is a cha-cha shot with a Fujica GS645W, on Kodak Aerochrome film, using a Y1 Yellow filter.\u00a0 A GA645W couldn’t be used to shoot infrared film as it has film sensors that\u00a0would likely fog this sensitive film.\u00a0 This was captured in St. Lucia, during the December holiday season.\u00a0 See all the snow?\u00a0 \u00a0No, I didn’t think so.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

“What Stays In Vegas Decays In Vegas” – in February my wife and I drove from Las Vegas, Nevada to Los Angeles, California to visit family.\u00a0 While in Vegas we visited the Neon Boneyard Museum.\u00a0 My wife and I booked a guided tour of the Museum, and I booked myself a “Photo Walk” for the following afternoon.\u00a0 During the guided\u00a0tours you have to keep up with the tour group, you can’t lag behind taking photos, and you can only bring one camera.\u00a0 No tripods, no extra lenses, and no selfie sticks.\u00a0 On the Photo Walks, you are allowed to bring all of your gear, and you get to roam around at your leisure for about an hour and a half.\u00a0 The Photo Walks happen twice a month and are usually limited to about six photographers.\u00a0 If you ever book a guided tour, make sure to request Russ as your guide.\u00a0 He’s been a Vegas resident since 1962, and he’s frequented most of the establishments that once displayed the signs that now reside in the Boneyard.\u00a0 He knows the history of Vegas, and the backstory for all of the signs in the Museum!\u00a0 \u00a0This cha-cha was shot with a GS645W.\u00a0 I tried to meter for balance between the highlights and shadows, but I still wound up with some blown-out highlights.\u00a0 No matter, you can see what the blown-out signs on the right look like in the final slide of this set.<\/p>\n

\"Vacancy<\/p>\n

“Vacancy Row” – I was going to call this image “Cinnamon” as that’s what I think of everytime that I read the motel name on the most upright of the two motel signs pictured, but you all woulda thunk I wuz\u00a0illiterate.\u00a0 Shot with the same equipment on the same afternoon as “What Stays…”, I also had a 1930 Rolleidoscop, a CLAed 2.8 Stereo Realist, and a Panasonic 3D-1 in my camera bag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
