Keeping with the playground and trees theme, here’s another (non-Leica…) photo, the reflection of a lost world:

This was my old elementary school playground after a rain storm. Notes from another picture on the same roll say it was about 8:00pm on April 26, 1995 (a Wednesday, if you were wondering). The view today is unrecognizable.

Taken with my un-trusty Zeiss Ikoflex Favorit on Kodak Tri-X 6043 roll film. I remember trying to hold very still for the 1/30 second shutter. In fact I remember almost the entire experience of being there and standing underneath the big playground tree while taking the photo. Crop of a 6.5” square print on Kodak Polymax RC glossy (F surface).

A story about the crop: For some reason the film was dirty and needed washing. I set the faucet temperature in the school darkroom and walked away for a few minutes. When I returned the water was very hot and had damaged several frames. This frame has reticulation in the lower right corner. Very nearly tragic, but I prefer this panoramic, reticulation-avoiding crop anyhow.

This is what satisfied customers look like. Another example of the excellent advice in the Leica Store Frankfurt, Germany

Great Uncle J. on a Sunday evening, spring of 1995, Cedar Fort, Utah. Part of “The Greatest Generation”, he truly embodied the spirit of that title.

Pentax Spotmatic F, Takumar 50mm f1.4 Super Multi Coated, TMax 100, scan of a 5x7 print on Ilford Multigrade IV pearl. I remember this was 1/30 at f1.4, explaining the reflection artifacts in the drapes. 

I hope nobody minds the older images. I have a huge backlog of prints and negatives to work through, with a fair number from ‘94-97.

And a couple from Rome in 2022. You’ll have to please forgive the scratch on the obelisk at St. Peter’s. There was an unfortunate bulk loading mishap which required turning a hotel closet into a makeshift darkroom while I attempted to spool 36 detached frames into the cassette. Ah, the joys of film.

Both are with an M3 and 45mm Chiyoko Rokkor. It’s an interesting little lens (very little, in fact) which occasionally flares with what I call “god rays” from the sky. I actually rather like them. Otherwise it’s quite well behaved and usable at all apertures.
