Morning Drain
This is a counterpoint to yesterday’s post taken on the largest camera that I use. Today’s shot is the same subject taken on the smallest camera that I use. Both shots are taken with expired film.
I do have an even larger camera – 4″x5″ field camera but it needs some work which I have not got around to. I also have a camera that has smaller negatives, a half-frame Pen, but it is bigger and much heavier than the Olympus mjuii.
The rest of this roll is at 52Rolls in a post called Haida Gwaii Canoe and on this blog at Victoria Waterfront.
Not So Sublime
Here is most of today’s roll of film from my 52 Rolls project – 46 is not that far off of 52! The other image from this roll of film is at http://wp.me/p1R4lY-7eY.
Today is my 46th roll this year, and my second from the Fujica GW690. This was another test just to get a feel for the camera and to ensure that it all seems to be working fine. The camera does work fine, but the 15 years expired XP2 film is rubbish as can be seen in most of the images.
My first roll with this camera was posted as To The Sublime – this roll of film is not so sublime. The registration marks on the paper have left their imprint on the negatives – I expect it is where the paper and negatives were in contact with some kind of chemical interaction between the printing ink and the negative. Perhaps this is something that only happens with colour processed films? The further into the roll, the less pronounced the effect such that the portraits at the end of the…

6×9 Storm Drain
This photo is taken with the Fuji GW690 which makes 6x9cm negatives. It’s from the second roll I have shot with the camera. If you look carefully at the sky you can see that the registration marks from the paper backing of the film have bled through onto the film, probably because it expired in 2000 and likely was poorly stored as well. This is much more obvious in some other images on the roll, especially near the beginning of the roll. The rest of the roll can be seen at Not So Sublime as part of my 52 rolls project.
Gum Boot
Cryptochiton stelleri, otherwise know as the gumboot chiton due it being the size of the sole of a large boot – over a foot long.
And one wears gumboots on the beach, so that’s probably why it wasn’t called the hiking boot chiton, or the brogue chiton.
Or even the croc chiton, which would be kind of appropriate.
Except a pair of gumboot chitons worn in the mall would have more cachet than a pair of crocs.
