Hurricane

WordPress isn’t working correctly. Well, that worked. Let us see if we can make a real post now. OK, here goes. Hope this will publish.

Well, I took the day off from work today, because of the hurricane. Never-mind that the hurricane is 5,000 miles away. But, I thought you would like to see how worried my home folk are about the coming storm. 

Did it. I actually took a fist full of negatives and prints to the dumpster. As well as some crap  to our “What Not Shop”. Real progress is being made. 

Today, I am messing with prints from 1990-1991. At that time, I was playing with one of my favorite cameras. The Zeiss Ikoflex 1a. It was a twin lens reflex camera – sort of a poor man’s Rolleiflex – and it had been my father’s. 

I always printed the Ikoflex photos in full frame as was the fashion back in the day. Especially when using 120 film. I still have the camera. And, I believe 120 film is still manufactured. But, I sure don’t have what it takes to develop and print my own photos anymore. 

The Ikoflex is a decoration now. As is it’s buddy an old Yashica.

We lived a couple of miles from this establishment and it was a favorite subject. And, that would be my beloved Alpha Romeo in front.
