A trip to Texas carrying a Konica Autorex loaded with Kentmere Pan 200. Rodinal stand development. Testing both camera and film. May prefer the Olympus Pen FT, TBH; easier to focus despite a dimmer viewfinder, and this Autorex has inconsistent spacing between the frames. #blackandwhite #halfframe

Well, I can see I have to up my photo-posting game- adding an accompanying poem really enriches the viewing experience!

Thank you!

I love the look you are achieving! May I ask if you are shooting at box speed?

This is an inspired use of the medium! Love it.

I presume they mean wanted for parties and speaking engagements.

'Spiritual Housewares,' a throwback from August 2023, when visiting family in Atlantic, Iowa, USA. Taken on an Olympus Pen FT on 400 speed film, though I don't now recall the lens or film brand. A charming and very photographable city. #photography #halfframe #monochrome

Thank you! Shooting 100 speed film indoors with an unfamiliar camera, I wasn't sure what might come out, but I got lucky there.

I am loving these disquieting, seemingly dimensionally-disjointed building pairs! They speak to me of precarity and dissolution.

I just love these- so spare and formal, yet so energetic!

An instant photo showing a brown wooden bench standing against a rough-cut grey stone wall. On top of the bench at the right side are three yellow and three white ceramic flower pot coasters. On the bench to the left is a white plastic bottle topped with a grey plant pump sprayer. Written in black marker on the white plastic bottle is the phrase "Bitch it's a water bottle." A number of yellow and white leaves have fallen across the ceramic dishes and the bench top.

I love your seafoam glaze! Nicely done.

Looks great!
