  1. My very first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 104...had the old flash cube that mounted on top and used the old 126 film cartridge (not sure if they're available anymore outside of Ebay). I still have the camera, albeit with a broken battery door that seemed to be a common fault. The very first camera that I actually paid for was a Canon AE-1...still have that, too (along with a host of other Canon film bodies).
  2. I shoot with an RZ67 Pro II, Mamiya M645 1000s, as well as a Shen Hao 6x17 camera. With my Gitzo GT2540 legs, I've been using a Markins Q-ball (20, I think) which seems "fine" for the 645 (I built an L-bracket for it to avoid using the drop slot) and just "adequate" for the 67. The only thing I don't like about the Markins is the fact that you REALLY need to crank down on the panning knob to keep the head from turning. But, it seems to be a good size for the legset and for most Gitzo 2-series legs. For the 3-series legs, I'd go with a Really Right Stuff BH-55, which I also use...very robust, very secure. You don't want to put a scrawny head on a large set of legs, nor do you want to put an oversized head on a smaller set of legs.

    Sidewalk cafe' in Paris
  4. Pasture adjoining my homestead. Great location for shooting moonrises from my patio...unfortunately, this is scheduled for development in a few years.
  5. Scan of an early morning image taken back in early 80's. Shot on Kodachrome with an old AE-1, scanned on Epson V800.
  6. John Fogerty, founder of former Creedence Clearwater Revival, and son. Only had an iPhone, so had to make do.
  7. Roadside attractions, from the mundane to the quirky. Please include location. Built in 1927 with cafe and tourist cabins. In 1935, owner decided to cover station with petrified wood and added rock facing to the cafe and tourist cabins. One cabin was rented by Bonnie and Clyde several weeks before their date with destiny. Located in Decatur, TX.

    Mamiya RZ67 and Kodak Portra 160:
  10. Going through some old slides. Bridge in fog, taken in late 1970's with Canon AE-1 and 50mm/1.4 SSC, Kodachrome 64. Scanned with Epson V800/Silverfast 8, processed in Luminar 3 and PS-CC.
  11. Post 'em if you got 'em. Conditions were just right in my neck of the woods in Texas...clear skies, very light to no cloud cover, and the sun still up above the western horizon. Shot at the rear of my hay pasture where luckily the land behind me cannot be developed. The yellowness of the moon took me by surprise. Shot with Sony A7R2 with Canon EF 70-200/4L.
