& this 1940 Ford Sedan took out a highly commended at the North Shore Salon of Photography 2010. Overall our photo club had 4 members who received awards & to qualify for a highly commended it means thats this image was in the top 2% of entries. No mean feat; not quite as good as my Gold last year, but it was always going to be hard to top that!

Beautiful 40 Coupe, captured crookedly by my grungy pinhole.
Bit of a lean on.
You wouldn't believe the amount of chemical (fondly referred to as "goop" by Polaroid lovers) they pack into each sheet of film. This is the shit that hardens up and blocks the rollers.

While experimenting with the Pinholaroid, the first shot I tried failed because the rollers were gummed up from the last shooting session with it (about Jan 2010), so I pulled it apart at lunch over a Jack Daniels, and got it running again.
So here they are: emulsion blemishes, scars, raindrops and all. Adds to the shithouse effect I believe.

Hi.
Have produced a photo book on Traditional Rods.
It's not very long, only 20 pages; each page is 28 cm by 21 cm. It looks mint.Have a look at a 5 page sample on Issuu (or right here actually!)




Costs $30 NZ.
Contact me here if you want one.

Cheers

My 5 year old Jamie leaps out of his rapidly deflating paddling pool, with joy at being cool. God, it's been a hot dry summer north of Auckland.
Shot with a manual Vivitar 105mm wide open at f2.4, 1/2000th of a second.
Stopped them water droplets nicely.
Entered this into the NZ Herald summer photo competition, where it did get published in a Saturday edition, but sadly progressed no further

Mamaroid

saw this Mamiya RZ67 Polaroid back for sale very cheaply on local auction site; have attached a hacksawed off cardboard barrel from a glenfiddich bottle for a "lens" protrusion; sealed all of it with black silicon goop, and popped the cap from the container back on the front. Fitted perfectly. Then just a hole through the centre to stick in my patented Barrel 51 aluminium can aperture, epoxy in a tripod mount, and away we go. A sort of 6x6 size pinholaroid, the Mamaroid.

Still having fun with my Pinhole Camera; here's a photo from the Kumeu Carshow of Rocket Speed Equipments Truck with a Model A body on the deck

How's this for a radical poster! Created by Brad Klausen for the Pearl Jam concert 29/11/09 in Christchurch.
Kiwiana. Looks like a Kakapo or Hawk against the Maori flag.

submitted this foto to the HAMB for their annual calendar...Django who was doing the selections asked for a high rez version to be mailed to him, so I guess it's in the 2010 HAMB calendar.
wooo hoooo!
