Mia jumping in our backyard

Here’s another shot from my files. This is Mia jumping in our backyard in Arizona. She was a pretty kinetic kid. I used to take pictures of the kids when I was trying out new film or a lighting setup or lens.
They were usually at the tail end [...]
I have been spending a bit of time with Flickr recently and have been impressed with some of the photography I have viewed.

I had some Ilford XP-2 processed and scanned at Walgreens. They messed up the scans on the CD (at least the negs were cut right) so all of the pics look like they are from a half-frame camera. I kinda liked it. In this photo, Misake and Aaron Fioritto.
I picked up an old Canonet Q17 G111 rangefinder on ebay and shot my first roll of film through it this weekend. Years ago I owned a series of Leicas. I started out with a beat up M3 and 50mm lens then came across a super clean M2 so I bought that. I sold the [...]

I found this in a tray of Ektachrome slides. That’s me in the hat. The picture was taken in 1961 in Naha, Okinawa where my parents were stationed.
By the way, that’s me with the cigar in the post below. Car seats, seat [...]
