My Book Barn Friend
Baldwin’s Book Barn is owned by at least three cats. Or at least *they* think so.

Bits and pieces from in and around West Chester…
Do you remember slide shows, in an actual projector? Fuji Provia 400X is a “chrome”, or a color positive image, instead of a negative like most film.
A late-night walk around West Chester during the last storm.
Scenes from Baldwin’s Book Barn and Longwood Gardens.
I decided to take another walk around Longwood Gardens to see how the orchids are doing. As usual, I spent time with the calla lilies and the silver room, too.
These are scans of real film, all the way to the sprocket holes. This is from a quick Sunday visit to Longwood Gardens. Taken with my F100, and both my 200mm f/4 macro and SMC Takumar 100mm f/4 macro.
Taking the Acela this week through New Haven, where I had a 45 minute layover. Shots with my trusty Pentax 645n and both the 120/4 Macro and 45/2.8, on Fuji 800Z.
This is the second roll from my Saturday visit to Longwood Gardens, this one color Kodak Portra 800. Like the previous post, it too shows off the beauty of the large 120 size negatives – and of course the beauty of Longwood Gardens itself.
Yesterday was a great day to go to Longwood Gardens – they’ve opened the expansion to the Conservatory, it is orchid time, and it was a miserable rainy day. This set is from my walk though the Conservatory with Kodak TMY-400 (black and white) and my Pentax 645n.
Two rolls of cheap Fuji 800 speed film, developed in expired (*really* expired!) chemicals. I’m doubtful that the film images will last that long. Shots are from Philadelphia and New York, in December 2010 and January 2011.
The reflective buildings in New York are fascinating. Taken with my Pentax *ist D and various lenses.
Cleaning up some straggling images over the past month or so…
