Ricoh 35

I was gifted by the very talented tattoo artist and photographer Bob Cooper with a Ricoh auto 35 and took it for an adventure the other day. Most of these photos are taken outside of my studio or at Montabello, where I do Print making classes.

All taken with Fuji 400. Simple as.

Underwater lover

On the day of the winter solstice, I went swimming at Sea Point pools with an Canon A1. Here are some of moments of that very cold day.

Rollei 35

Somehow I managed to find in my possession a mint condition Rollei 35. Earlier this year at B&H I asked them about the history and the very first camera I saw in their mini museum is the Rollei 35.

The Rollei 35 is a 35mm miniature viewfinder camera built by Rollei. The original Rollei 35, when introduced at Photokina in 1966, was the smallest existing 135 film camera. Still today, the Rollei 35 series remain the second smallest 35 mm camera after the Minox 35. In 30 years, about 2 million Rollei 35 series cameras were manufactured.

Here are a few Ilford black and white images I took with it in the States, and at home, in Sea Point.

Analog America

A month in America included sewing in Central Park in New York, Walking to between the National Guard in Baltimore and dancing with a 6 month baby to TI with 20 thousand other people in New Orleans (Jazz fest). I caught a few moments of my month on film.

This is where I insert a thank you to Tyler for making it possible.
