Rural Iowa - Expired Film

A fifty-something year old medium format TLR, found at a thrift shop, had some film in it. There were a few exposures left on the roll, so I photographed this barn, near Madrid, Iowa. The film was a color emulsion that was last produced in the 1970s. Instead of sending it to a lab, I processed it as black and white film. This was about 15 years ago - I'm not sure if the barn is still there. It seemed a fitting subject for an old, forlorn camera.

Hancock and the Venet

For several years, there were a number of sculptures by Bernar Venet. This one, in front of the John Hancock Center, was one that I liked to include in numerous photographs. I love the massive 105mm glass on the front of the old Hasselblad 40mm Distagon C - as it will produce some fantastic 'light-splash' with the sunlight across the face of it.
