adding to the mix...

Spent Saturday afternoon working on tearing down several pallets to use the wood on a wall in my eventual studio space & darkroom. All I can say is that tearing apart something that is built to stay together is not the easiest job. Didn't take long before I had to add some coffee and film to the mix...

tri-x test roll...

Here are a few of my favorites from last night and today. The first six photos were all shot in low light with shutter speeds of 1/15th or 1/30th. Not bad for my first roll of film through my Leica M6. This is also the first roll of film that I have developed since I was in high school. I would have to say that this camera is a dream to shoot with. I don't think that I have done it justice with these photos, but I plan on shooting the M6 regular enough to get to the point where I truly know the camera. The only way for the camera to become second nature is to shoot it often. That being said, I am already half way through my first roll of Portra 400. I plan on having it ready to send out to a lab by mid next week...
