Finally started the Arizona mining town project. Using the Leica M9 and the Zeiss Ikon, began to photograph some really run down structures in these two towns.
I have been thinking about this project for many years and have finally gotten started. Many of these towns are heavily dilapidated. I need to go for the grainy, old look. With many mining towns in AZ in would imagine this project will take several years. First I need to understand  the character of he town then adequately photographing it.
Used Delta 3200 @ ISO 1600 to get that old look in the photos.

Well, had the Zeiss Ikon out again and was shooting Ilford XP Plus. Pushed it to 1600 and waiting for development. Worked on a project that is on the web site “pedal power” not sure if that title is going to stick or not. Stayed at one location on 4th Ave to shoot the bicycles and heir unique riders. The Zeiss fires slower than a digital camera, I think. Not certain how well I captured the riders. One guy saw the film camera and said “man I haven’t seen a film camera in a long time” 🙂

Going back to film,,,with trepidation

2/10/2013: Well I took the Zeiss Ikon out for the first day, loaded with Ilford XPlus film. It was a pleasure. Photographed on 4th Ave during a “trunk show”. Interesting could have stayed all day. Got a roll shot waiting for development.
Composed selectively and shot thoughtfully, it was a great feeling. No chimping allowed!
