    civilization and snow

    with a Yashica Samurai X3.0, which looks like a cheap camcorder but is actually an expensive half-frame film SLR. It’s also auto-everything, including auto-focus – which as far as I can tell mostly means it automatically focuses on the wrong thing. So that’s one thing I used to do manually off my plate now. Progress!…

    Through a wooden 9×12 from the late 19th century, with a 240 mm Goerz Lens of similar vintage. Kind of funny how good this lens is, considering it’s more than 130 years old now. This is wide-open too, at Goerz 4.6 (or f6.8 for people born after the invention of the radio). On Ilford Delta…
