Parking Lot Is Closed Or not, since the sign is at the back. But there was nobody there, so it didn’t seem open. Kodak Retina IIIS, Lucky Color 200, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

Portapotties This is probably the biggest sign that there’s work going on with these buildings on the edge of the Coast Guard base at Fort Hancock. This is one of the few shots on the one roll I’ve put through the Kodak Medalist with the faulty […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

Double Door This looks like a stable to me. Not sure what use horses would have been on Sandy Hook, but whatever. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16, @ilfordphoto.com PanF+, 510-Pyro development. #believeinfilm #FridayFavourites

Boardwalk I love that this says what it says just as you’re leaving it. Pentax 17, Film Ferrania P33, divided D-76. #believeinfilm #HalfFrameClub

The High Life Seaside Heights living up to its reputation as a classy family resort town. Note that they couldn’t even finish it. Leica R4, Kodak 2484, divided D-76. #believeinfilm

Motel Don’t remember exactly which motel this is, but it doesn’t matter; they all look like this. I shot this mainly because of the lines (and also because of the couple in the upper left). Kodak Retina IIIS, Lucky Color 200, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

Boardwalk A few of the stands on the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland, including an Old Time Photos stand. Pentax 17, Film Ferrania P33, divided D-76. #believeinfilm #HalfFrameParty

Old Time Photos For fun, I took my best camera and lens combination, the Leica R4 with Summicron 50/f2, and loaded with the worst film, Kodak 2484. If you search for that film online, you’ll find lots of comments about how it has the worst grain […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

Kohr’s On the boardwalk in Seaside Heights. Kodak Retina IIIS, Lucky Color 200, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

OG OC The most elaborately festooned stands on the boardwalk in Ocean City. Pentax 17, Film Ferrania P33, divided D-76. #believeinfilm #HalfFrameParty

Sea Garden Motel A motel in Seaside Heights. The signs in Seaside aren’t as interesting as the signs in Wildwood, but this one is pretty good. Kodak Retina IIIS, Lucky Color 200, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

Charter Boats There are several boats in Atlantic Highlands that you can buy a ticket on and spend part of the day fishing. Most of them were in port at this time. ONDU 6x12 Multiformat (2015), CineStill 400D, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm #WPPD

Roof Shot yesterday out on Sandy Hook with my Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 on @ilfordphoto.com PanF+ and developed in 510-Pyro. #believeinfilm #FolderWeek #FridayFavourites

L Train Brass Band One nice thing about New Orleans is you can be walking down the street and hear some interesting music coming from who knows where. We walked out of a record store in Marigny and followed our ears to this, the L Train Brass Band […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

Riggers Bar I shot this mainly because the bar was pink, and you don’t see pink bars very often. Then again, I’m colorblind, so maybe I have the color wrong. Leica R4, Kodacolor 100, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

Harbor Another pinhole shot of Belford Harbor. ONDU 6x12 Multiformat (2015), CineStill 400D, ECN-2 development. Shot on Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. #believeinfilm #WPPD

Sandlass House I posted a shot of this a few weeks ago. Here’s another. It’s the last remaining bit of the amusement park/resort that used to exist at the southern end of Sandy Hook. Pentax Spotmatic F, Eastman 5222, Divided D-76. #believeinfilm

The End Is Near Sure feels that way. Leica R4, Kodacolor 100, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

Create I like to think of this as an imperative rather than as the name of some random business in Seaside Heights. Kodak Retina IIIS, Lucky Color 200, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

Legs One of the things I enjoyed most about New Orleans was how completely weird it is. Leica R4, Kodacolor 100, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

Babe’s Corner Store Still making up my mind what I think about color through the Retina IIIS, but I like this shot. Lucky Color 200, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

Photobooth Selfies Laura and I spent the afternoon yesterday celebrating our wedding anniversary by finding photobooths around lower Manhattan. We only got to make two strips because one place no longer had the machine, one had a long line, and a […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

Decay More entropy from the edge of the Coast Guard base on Sandy Hook. Kodak Retina IIIS, Eastman 5222, divided D-76. I’m going to have to see what this lens does in Rodinal, which accentuates sharpness. #believeinfilm

Shack Another shot from the Retina IIIS that kind of took my breath away with the sharpness. This is on the fringe of the Coast Guard base out on Sandy Hook, the working remnants of Fort Hancock. Shot on Eastman 5222 and developed in divided D-76. #believeinfilm

Broad Street Diner Excellent diner, best in the area. Wish they were still open for dinner, but the pandemic changed that and they never reopened for dinner. Leica R4, @ilfordphoto.com FP4+, divided D-76 development. #believeinfilm #FridayFavourites

Now Serving Hot Fresh Local Art. Seen in New Orleans. Leica R4, Kodacolor 100, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

Tree I was really taken with how the lens on my newly-acquired Kodak Retina IIIS renders, particularly in black and white. (I need to shoot a little more color to make up my mind on how it handles color.) Shot on Eastman 5222 and developed in divided D-76. #believeinfilm

No Kings No War No ICE Most seaside resort towns seem to be conservative to reactionary, particulary the businesses and the goods that they carry. I see a lot of Trump 2028 t-shirts on the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD, for example. Rehoboth Beach is […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

Post I love this mailbox that I saw in the French Quarter in New Orleans. The scene depicted looks almost medieval, and yet could happen today. Leica R4, Kodacolor 100, ECN-2 development. #believeinfilm

Fix Your Hearts Or Die Communities are made up of all kinds. Some potential community members want their community members to all be just like them. Community doesn’t work that way, and trying to ensure that your community fits your prejudices […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

Couples In a previous Polaroid Week, I did one shot where I took scissors to a couple of Polaroids and cut them to slide them together to form a single image. This project started with the idea that if I did that with square and circular framed […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

Singles Another initial volley in this season’s ‘Roid Week project.

Singles I think I’ll hold off explaining this until I’m a little further in to this series. Happy ‘Roid Week, everyone!

Old Time Photos Closing out my contributions to the #FP4Party with a photo I take over and over wherever I find it, the Old Time Photos stand in damned near every resort town. I always wish they were making tintypes, or at least shooting film. I […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]

Dolles They used to be at the corner on the boardwalk in a prime location. And then they weren’t. This is a few steps from their old location. Nice to see them back. Leica R4, @ilfordphoto.com FP4+, divided D-76. #believeinfilm #FP4Party #FridayFavourites

Starkey’s Over 100 ice cream flavors. Not the place that offers booger flavored ice cream; that’s around the corner. Leica R4, @ilfordphoto.com FP4+, divided D-76. #believeinfilm #FP4Party #FridayFavourites

Mailbox Polaroid Week starts tomorrow. I still have to finish my project, but it should be pretty straightforward. This is a photo I shot to find out what kind of film I had loaded in one of my cameras. It has nothing to do with my project. Mint […] [Original post on pixelfed.thereisnocat.com]
