Summer and Screwmounts


Recommended Posts

<p>I've finally gotten around to developing my film backlog. Here are a few from my GAF L-17 with an Oreston 1.7 mounted. FP4 @ 50 in Rodinal 1:50. blinding sun without a cloud in the sky. As tempertures pushed toward 110F a garage in the back alley spontaneously combusted.<br>

<p>Nice shots Matthew, I definitely like No.2 . Shame it lost its news value months ago, you might have made some money from selling these photos to the local newspaper. Heh.<br>

I also find myself always takeing pictures of people with their backs turned to me as well, but mine rarely turn out like your No.3</p>

<p>You probably need to be a little careful, photograping a fire. I've heard that arson investigators watch the crowd, looking for people who seem a little MORE fascinated by the fire than normal.</p>

<p>So, your comment about the firefighter wondering about "the creepy guy with the camera", may have been more true than you know.</p>

My interest was hardly more than normal. I was in a crowd of 30-50 people, half of whom were shooting video on cell phones. Fascination is also not quite the right word. This is a poor neighborhood of 130 year old row-houses that go up like a box of matches. A stray spark from a seemingly innocuous garage fire like could have easily have terrible consequences.</p>
