Palm Tree, LACMA





This one used a rather easy technique.  I have a couple of very old, out of date, envelopes of Ilford multi-grade resin coated paper.  I made a very quick exposure, using the same negative on all four prints, and then painted the developer on the print.  The negative was exposed with a Holga camera.  This palm tree is outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Broad Building.  Photographed 2014.

The Santa Monica Pier


This one was shot with a Holga, a cheap, Chinese made plastic camera with a plastic lens.  Even though it's thought of as a toy camera, it takes a medium format 120 film.  The film advance doesn't rely on a calibrated advance, but one of those old fashioned ruby windows on the camera back that shows frame numbers on the film's paper backing.  This print is actually two frames that mashed together when the film wasn't advanced quite enough to get a clean frame edge.  Printed on Ilford fiber base multi-grade paper.  Location, the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, California.
