Post-war Photography Day

I snapped a quick photo of my girlfriend/boss (nicolegesmondi.com) on an outing to Jamestown with our antique cameras. Here she is photographing a lighthouse with my 1950's AGFA Clack, while I capture her image using her 1960's Diana camera. Who doesn't love light leaks!?!

I took this photo, about a minute after I took The Young Man and the Sea with Nicole's Holga.

You can purchase selected photos of mine at mylatehope.imagekind.com.

Created using my girlfriend's Diana camera with expired Fuji T64 slide film cross processed with C-41. Photo scanned with an HP Scanjet 4890. No digital manipulation used!

    Love seeing other peoples meta! My GF and I spend most of our spare time behind the lens. Isn't it crazy? Thousands of pictures together and only a few of each other! And almost all of them w/ a camera in our face!
    Love the shots. Keep posting!

    the light leak seems to make a funnel shape leading to the clack. thats interesting.
    you should go find a click, then have her shoot with the clack.. now THAT would be cute. ha. joking.
