Hello everyone, Many of you know me as a Holga (and classic old camera) guy from photo.net with notorious "no-rule" reputation. Many of my good friends are here so I'd like to continue to share my photographic adventure with you. This sequence is some snapshots on the second night we moved to our new apartment. The cable was not ready yet but I managed to get signal for the Oscar show. You can see how my wife enjoyed Jon Stewart. :lol: http://sliu.blogspot.com/2006_03_10_sliu_archive.htmlTechnical details:Hasselblad 500CM, Planar 80/2.8, Ilford XP2 400. f/2.8, 1/15 handheld, no support. Processed at the Korean 1 Hour lab near my new apartment. Full of greasy finger prints and dusty edges (mine could be the only 120 film went through that machine). Scanned in Epson 4990 at 16 bit BW negative and adjusted in Photoshop 6.0. |

Welcome, Sam. Cut loose! CE, I have been watching your nice little BBS growing for a while and finally decide to join in because I miss my old friends  I also feel that sometimes I need to add words to my picture stories without disrupting the visual consistency of my blog. The BBS is a perfect place to share the story behind the story. |

Very nice series, and clever of you to anticipate the reaction.
Also enjoyed your recent subway shots. Will try to spend more time catching up with your blog.

More technical details:
If you look carefully at the lower part of the second image (actually the first frame in the film), you will see the residue of the tape. Because I only have 220 back. Shooting 120 film in 220 back gives wider and wider frame gaps as you move to the end of the roll. So to get 12 frame, I have to start the film as early as possible. I think this time I started too early. For serious work, I would sacrifice the first and the last frame.

Nice to see you have a 'Blad to shoot with and a nice subject at home (both present and near future by the look of it). Hope your prewar Rollei is still going strong! From the looks of your blog, you are a 100% square shooter (danke Herren Franke und Heidecke) |

On following Chinese web site I have some snapshots taken with 621 on a visit to a friend two weeks ago: http://forum.xitek.com/showthread.php?threadid=290928 |

Glad to see you here, Sam. Those pictures of your wife are priceless, I could almost hear her laughing.
