365 Day Thread for 2021


Recommended Posts

Not wishing to see the 21st go to zero, here is one from my "rediscovered" cache. Taken 1981at one of San Jose, Calif's many auto establishments. 153592287_2k21-Faber-010ces13bm.thumb.jpg.070917c457c6f57627c280b12416ccc3.jpg Used a K1000 & 50mm lens. Some unknow color negative film and a v800, with lots of PP work, for the scan. Yes, that is a well known species of urban bird, and it's also well known calling cards, upon the hat.

For the 24th (previously posted). This one from a Kodak Instamatic 124 with Verichrome Pan. I remember having to snap the cartridge open to retrieve the film for developing.

My sister (around 1972) sitting on my parents' 1969 Impala and her friend sitting on a Torino. I remember the Impala's power brakes were touchy compared the Buick I drove in Driver's Ed. I would put my left foot under the brake to make it more difficult to press until I got used to it.

That 1969 Impala is Chevrolet at their best. (and in your case, a family matter then). Beautiful car, beautiful photo of Southern living. In that era, my parents had a 1970 Pontiac Catalina wagon (a very special order car, had a 455 Super Duty, triple 4 barrel carb, 400 turbo automatic, AC and looked outwardly like a boring family wagon). It was quite fast, enough to keep up with any muscle car. Mike, I enjoy your photos and commentary on Southern life so much, and your family's experiences.

No takers for the 2nd, I see. Here's one from around 1977 or 1978 to fill in.

Bored (waiting for Botany Lab to start) Konica Auto S2 (most likely Tri-X)

During my undergraduate days I took a camera with me every day. Mostly the Konica Auto S2, but in spring of 1978 I bought a Minolta SRT 201 with 50mm f 1.7 MC Rokkor. Sometimes I carried a Bell & Howell/Canon Dial 35 as well.
