Flower Garden II

Here's a few more pictures from vacation. 

Flower Garden

It was a beautiful summer day; birds chirping, bees buzzing, camera shudder snapping.   

This summer while on vacation I found myself with a day to spare in Ohio.

Not entirely sure what to do with myself I decided to wonder out into, Phoebe's, my mother-in-law, garden. 

The next couple of post I'll show you what I got.

My Grandfather's Camera

To say that I am excited about this post would be an understatement. I have been wanting to do this for sometime, and today I finally got my first roll of 120mm film back from the developer.

This camera belonged to my Grandfather Don Weber. It's an Agfa Billy Record, and to my knowledge this is the camera he carried with him during World War II. - He was a good photographer and took some really interesting pictures while in Europe. I'll have to scan some of the pictures he took with it and post them sometime.

Call me old school but I enjoy old cameras and trying out old formats, however, this time it was a little different. This was a really special roll for me to shoot as I discovered a connection with my Grandfather; clicking rigged dials, looking through the rudimentary view finder, estimating the focal length.  It was fun to see what it was like for him to take pictures 60 years ago.

Still Life

Needing some inspiration for a project that I'm working on for a friend.
I needed to step away tonight and do something completely different.
