Hi all…

Two favorites – Fujica GW690 Professional 6×9 and my Fujifilm FinePix S9900W. Yes, that Fujica is that big!

Uses 120 or 220 roll film and takes an impressive 6x9cm image!

The FinePix has an impressive 50x zoom lens!

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day! – Chris

outside my studio window

This beautiful bald cypress tree stands just outside one of my studio’s windows. The fence separates a natural wetland from the remainder of my property. I planted this tree when it was about 4 feet tall in 1992. Thirty years later it stands at about 40 feet.

The sign in the background identifies the area as an NWS Certified Backyard Habitat.

forgotten garden bench

Actually not forgotten just covered up by maidenhair ferns. I built this bench about 25 years ago when the gardens were still ‘new’.

This is what’s on the other side of the black metal fence. A natural bog and at times small creeklet.

Thanks for stopping by! Do you have a spot to sit and relax in your garden? – Chris

Yashica LM – a different view

April 1, 2022April 1, 2022Chris and Carol Leave a comment

My Yashica LM as seen on my Burke & James Press 4 x 5 camera’s focusing screen.

The Yashica LM has a “built-in” exposure meter that’s attached to the camera’s left side. It’s a selenium cell meter so no batteries are required but after 60 years most have stopped working. This one still works! For more about all Yashica TLRs, visit my good friend Paul Sokk’s site at http://www.yashicatlr.com/66ModelsPage4.html#yashicalm
