It’s been a slow week for photography and blogging. \u00a0Last weekend we went to photograph and film the annual Ganesha Chathurti immersion of Ganesh idols in the sea. \u00a0I got some great video, but unfortunately can’t locate the video card I recorded it on. \u00a0So the only new post for this week is the weekly “found film” post.<\/p>\n

This weeks’ film is a roll of size 620 Kodak Verichrome Pan film, which usually turns out pretty good pictures, even when it’s old. \u00a0I don’t believe this week’s roll is particularly old, as this appears to be a mid-1980s minivan:<\/p>\n

I don’t imagine there were many people running around in the mid-1980s taking pictures with black-and-white medium format film (certainly more than there are nowadays, but still not many). This person wasn’t particularly skilled at the use of their camera. We have a few photos taken out of the car window while moving, mostly of a pretty barren landscape. They appear to have been driving around the American West.<\/p>\n

\"Cowboys\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Cabin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally we have a whole string of pictures that run together, because the user failed to advance the film completely. But it makes for an interesting negative, I guess:<\/p>\n

\"RV\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m working on another collection of negatives I’ve come across – this time from Maine. It’s about 20 rolls of film taken over the span of a few years, and I’m trying to get them in some sort of reasonable sequence that makes sense. Look for them in the coming weeks, but here is a teaser. The photos are from the late 1940s and early 1950s, but she’s holding a vest pocket kodak from the 1920s (or older).<\/p>\n
