Squash

52Frames - Week 37 - Black And White

Farmer's Market

Highland Park/Ravinia, IL

Went out on a gray, drizzly day to catch some B/W photos.  Of the 30+ photos I shot, this one stood out as most unique.  Is there such a variety called "sperm squash"?

Flashback!

Buffalo Grove, IL

Last time at Buffalo Grove Days was about 20+ years ago when my son's band played a set.  This time we're here with his kids!

EC: Use A Mirror

Breaking from the norm, I did not go with an IRL shot this week.  Rather, I used macro mode on the D-Lux 8, a small mirror & two flashlights on my desk.  Had thought about using my scanning stand to hold the camera but decided that handheld would provide for a more interesting photo.

Port Clinton Art Fair - Film

Highland Park, IL

I had not shot color film for awhile, nor the Leica CL film camera.  A visit to the Port Clinton Art Fair  provided a good opportunity to do so.  Since neither the camera or lens is weather-proof, I had to duck under cover when the rain set in.  This is a small collection of photos from the day.  I'm not terribly happy with some slow shutter speed (out of) focus but am very happy with the film scans & colors.
