No Monsters

A Sunday afternoon along the Delaware in Port Richmond with the Fuji GW690III and some more Ilford OrthoPlus.

I guess the “port” is past tense

 

What’s around that corner?

 

This made me think of FABs

 

The great Tacony-Palmyra

Wo ist die Brücke?

I shot some more Ilford OrthoPlus, this time in the Fuji GW690III. This is another camera I probably don’t shoot enough. But this film, I’m liking it. And initial darkroom experiments suggest it looks better as a lith print (images to come).

I took it down to Old City on a bright, cold day. I tried to avoid the usual Race Street Pier shots, and the streets were empty, so a lot of #peoplelessphilly shots.

Here is nobody under the bridge

 

Nobody here either

I think there are people in the builidng

I wouldn’t expect anyone here

Here is nobody in front of the bridge

Now

I thought that I would use the Ilford OrthoPlus in the Diana, but I am enjoying it more in the Rolleiflex.

Recently we had horribly warm January weather, so I took advantage and took a walk around South Philly with the Rollei. Maybe it was the weather or the fact that nobody is out on Sunday, but everything felt post-apocalyptic. The OrthoPlus fit that mood for sure.

I shot 4 rolls. Looking forward to printing these.

I’ve been dying to get a nice picture of S&S Foods for years

 

One of the few close-ups I took

Bricks, fences, and wires

I would raid this tools

This giant billboard dwarfed the daycare center below it

Weeds and tracks and trash

Artfully placed dumpsters

I’m Outside

The weather wasn’t horrible yesterday so I took my Speed Graphic with the DIY lens outside. I wanted to see what the lens would look like wide open at medium distance. And then I shot some close-ups of dead flowers too. Film is my last few sheets of Ilford Ortho Plus.

This tree caught my eye

 

I think the camera shook

I like this effect

Dead flowers
