Ricketts Glen On Kodak E100VS
The Falls Trail hike made for a much different feel over the summer compared to this week, with more colors in the leaves and more water over the falls. The Kodak E100VS slide film matched the day perfectly.

Yes, Spring Flowers
Yesterday’s forecast was dead wrong. Fortunately my flowers didn’t hear it.

Magnolias, 2011
I like magnolias because they’re unafraid to be the first ones out, and they’re more of a rugged beauty than the delicate ones who follow.

Sixteen Negative Shots
Similar to my last walk around Longwood Gardens with my medium format camera, this time with negative color film instead of positive. These are all 16 shots from the roll.

The County Seat
West Chester, the county seat of Chester County, has some great neo-classical architecture to go along with its quirky small town charm.

More Chemicals
I had to finish a roll to try the new chemicals last week, these are the results. Taken with my Pentax 645n and 120/4 Macro on…
-
In Lancaster
I took Ben to meet my dad in Lancaster for a classical guitar recital. I think I expected something a little more challenging, but hey – this is Lancaster after all.
-

In Reverse
I got some great new chemicals yesterday, that allow me to develop normal black & white film as positives instead of negatives. It was a good bit of work since the chemicals came in powder form, but it was worth it. It is a really neat look.

Around West Chester
Shots from walking a couple loops around town while the weather’s been nice, including a shot of my hairdresser Jay, whose son Aiden is a continuing miracle.

Who Endure
We were lucky yesterday to have several of the author/veterans of Jeanne Rapp’s new book, “They Conquer Who Endure”, present to sign our copies and tell their stories first hand.

Around West Chester
Bits and pieces from in and around West Chester…

Sixteen Shots
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.
-

Snowy West Chester
A late-night walk around West Chester during the last storm.

Layover
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.

Longwood Gardens, 2011 Part Two
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.
-
Longwood Gardens, 2011 Part One
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.

More Bear in Heaven
