165.365 (Charlie and the Gang)

(Wednesday, 14 April 2010) Don’t tell my older brother or sister that their old Charlie Brown figurines somehow ended up in a box of my toys…

164.365 (Team 7)

(Tuesday, 13 April 2010) Tonka toys were among my favorites when I was a kid. I recently discovered that Paul Giambarba (of Polaroid design fame) also designed the Tonka logo. He writes about it here.

163.365 (On the Farm)

(Monday, 12 April 2010) Back to photographing some my childhood toys with PX 100 in my SX-70. Dialed to the first bar toward dark on the exposure wheel.

162.365 (The Gardener)

(Sunday, 11 April 2010) Some friends helped build new raised garden beds at camp today. Anne was enthralled with an earth worm discovered in the process.

15//52 (Electric City)

(Saturday, 10 April 2010) The famous “Scranton the Electric City” sign. This was my second attempt. The first attempt came out a little to washed out, so turned the exposure dial one notch toward dark for this one. Probably could have adjusted it down even more.

160.365 (“Grrr,” Says the Analogue Dinosaur)

(Friday, 9 April 2010) This dinosaur was in the box of my old toys I brought home from my parents’ house tonight. I used a lightbox that’s been sitting on a shelf at work to provide some lighting from below.

159.365 (Peeps)

(Thursday, 8 April 2010) Found a good sale on Peeps tonight, so I bought a few packages to use as models for some photos.

158.365 (Door to Eternity)

(Wednesday, 7 April 2010) The door to the Cheney crypt in the Evergreen Cemetery, Owego, New York.

157.365 (Side Tracked)

(Tuesday, 6 April 2010) A grain car on the side track at Lebanon Seaboard Company in Binghamton, New York.

155.365 (Easter)

(Sunday, 4 April 2010) I acquired this Infant of Prague vase a number of years ago. Kind of out of place for Easter, but it’s about the only physical representation of Jesus I own…

14//52 & 154.365 (Chair)

(Saturday, 3 April 2010) Thought this chair would make a good subject for some more practice with the PX 100 Silver Shade First Flush film. Unfortunately I dawdled around too long this afternoon and the lighting conditions grew a little too dim for a handheld shot (realized this after the first exposure of a new pack came out a little blurry…) I’m so glad I invested in a tripod adaptor for my SX-70.

152.365 (Brooklyn Bridge)

(Friday, 2 April 2010) After visiting The Impossible Project, I wandered over to the Brooklyn Bridge. It was crowded, but I still thoroughly enjoyed my first walk on the bridge.

152.365 (Capturing a Rabbit)

(Thursday, 1 April 2010) Here’s my first shot using PX 100 Silver Shade First Flush film by The Impossible Project. Having spent the last week reading about this film, I was a bit nervous to press the shutter release button on my SX-70. Fortunately, my preparations paid off: taping the dark slide to the front of the camera seemed to prevent it from becoming overexposed; then to prevent too much pressure on the film while holding it under my arm, I simply stuck it in a cold clip from one of my packfilm cameras.
