Pour une fois, de la pub.
Un photographe qui m'a réellement impressionné par son travail, son courage et sa simplicité. Hans Zeeldieb fait du portrait de rue avec sa boîte magique, et ses images sont puissantes. J'espère le rencontrer un jour.
On m'a déjà offert son œuvre, "2 Mississippi", ci-dessous.

@nytpu In theory, it should be possible to make single-shot 135 / 120 setups tho there usually isn't a good, turnkey option to just shove in a single image...

But a System that basically could do that (being like single film frames in like a dia frame) should be possible...

Maybe some open-back #MediumFormat cameras like a #PentaconSix can be loaded with just a single & short strip of 120?

  • Granted that's not compareable to #LargeFormatFilm but it would allow you to Level up before investing into expensive stuff and get a handle on it?

Also LFF has the disadvantage of being seen as "#ObsoleteTech" and thus there's very low quantity, but very high quality photographic sheets that thus have the associated premium to it...

One thing I'd love to see is a #LargeFormatCamera that can use the comparably cheaper and more mass produced #Xray #FilmSheets instead, as they are made with like a user-friendly caddy system and designed to provide afforable and fast to develop images without much manual labour...

  • And since these don't have digital sensor fields that get worn out by radiation they are extremely widespread with doctors, dentists and veterinarians...

I mean, fundamentally they still work the same way the original "Curies" as 1st gen X-ray setups worked, just more accurate, safer and efficient...

We were all newcomers once, some with little more than dreams of a new life, and many of us depended upon the goodness of those who arrived before. We like to forget and imagine how self made we are.

A stature in memory of the refugees of the Irish Famine arriving in Toronto, a thin and gaunt child holds their hands together near the base of their neck, nervous to see a new land. Someone has added a red flower to the statue and it appears the child is clutching it. The old film used has added a blue tone to the image and the flower is brilliant red.

Summer games. The film, a 4x5 Ektachrome slide, expired nearly 30 years before I exposed it last summer. Badly stored and abused, much like a cherished memory, it tells more of how I saw the lake and play than how it appeared to the eye.

A colour slide of secluded lake in high summer. Save for a couple puffy clouds, the sky is clear and someone is playing out it the water. The woods across appear serene and lily pads float nearby. However, the colours on the old film have shifted from where they should be and the palette is surreal and saturated.

Mount Shasta, California (2017)

Paper negative from Graflex Speed Graphic 4x5 large format camera. I think this was a one-minute exposure. I took several paper negs during this trip, and processed them when I got back home.

This was taken during the first leg of a three-day road trip from San Francisco to Portland, Oregon.

Swipe for a cell phone pic of the setup.

A black and white image. In the foreground, the ground gently slopes up, populated with scrub brush amidst dirt and gravel. A young evergreen tree is to the left. Past a stand of evergreen trees, a mountain is in the background, partially covered by snow, with a puffy white cloud sitting above it.A color photo. The back of an old 4x5 black large format camera occupies the bottom half of the photo. Beyond is the scene from the first image, showing the ground, the evergreen to the left and the snow-covered mountain in the distance. The sky is blue.
