While spring is settling in most of the countries, my recent work related trip to Greenland proved otherwise for this impressive country... On Portra 400 with the Olympus XA.

Very impressive! Thanks for sharing!

Xenia, Henry,

I am sorry and at a loss of words to hear what horribilities you encountered. I sicerely hope that this experience may not be repeated for you or any of us.

All the best,

Christoph

 

Thank you, Christoph!

 

Because of trolls I had to close several of my social accounts lately.

But here, in Henry's film thread, I have experienced so much warmth and forethought, that I feel touched and honoured to be and stay a member of this community!

 

All the best,

Xenia

I reply late to Xenia , because I was looking for pictures, that I finally found.

 

This is one aspect of the burglary in my house ,on a Sunday afternoon in August

(where the city is deserted because of the holidays , a good time for burglaries)

where I was absent only 4 hours.

They climbed by the garden behind which has a wall of 9 meters without scale ,

they left  through the window at the front of the house.

They did not steal my cameras but above all they looked for jewels and money

hidden in books. The 4 chimneys of the house have also been opened ,because

they thought we hid inside (a habit of us).

I am wholeheartedly with Xenia and I hope she will buy soon a new Hassy to make

beautiful film pictures as you show us with the money of insurance .

Very unpleasant impression of being burgled and I understand Xenia

Good luck

 

Best

Henry

It is with great joy that I note, even here, in this photo of a personal trevesty, you did include information on camera, lens, and film. :)

Christoph thanks,

There is a French proverb that says :

"Life is not a long quiet river"

It is sometimes very hard but it must be overcome !

Best regards

Dear Henry,

 

How awful that must have been for you to find your house in such a state!

 

After a burglary our homes feels 'unclean' even when the thief doesn't make a mess like that in your case.

Going through deskdrawers, briefcases, jackets etc is enough to feel discomfort and anger that everything has been touched and soiled.

 

During a break-in long ago several people actually lived in my apartment in Stockholm while I was abroad. They left bottles and syringes and had painted the walls with ketchup and urin. When I came home in the middle of the night, all the floors were covered with our cloth cut into pieces mixed with food leftovers and feces. It was really bad, but what I couldn't take was, that they had read my diaries and hundreds of letters. After a good cry I threw everything away and started cleaning and painting the walls. When my children came home a week later the apartment looked almost as before...

 

So yes, I understand perfectly well how awful the experience must have been for you (and everybody else who have had it).

And it takes weeks and month to get over with. I have not been keeping a diary since that time thirty years ago.

 

But enough of unpleasantries!

Let us think about all the great photos we are going to take and share.

 

Thank you, Henry, for this thread and the wonderful people you have brought together here!

And thank you for caring :)

 

Best, Xenia

 

Thank you Xenia it's a great message

They are just the plastic canisters that some kinds of film come in - worth saving for putting exposed rolls in as they are light tight. I don't think one can buy bulk 120 film, as rolling it onto spools would require backing paper and attaching the film to the paper in just the right place - all in the dark!

 

I've been using medium format for about ten years now, 6x6, 6x6, 6x45, 6x9 - all good fun!

Earlier I posted a photo and wrote of my habit of spending time in graveyards.

 

Just outside of Madison, Indiana, is one of the Indiana women's prisons. On a hillside, facing the prison is a small graveyard that was used to interr inmates. Exact dates the yard was used are not known to me, most of the cast iron grave markers bear no identification other than a number, and a set of initials...no names or date of death. However, there are some graves marked with stone markers (presumably placed there by family following the burial) that do give name, date of birth, and date of death. From these markers I was able to determine that the latest known burials were in the early 1930's; and range from the 1920's. This would have been the age of John Dillinger (a Hoosier, himself,) Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, the prohibition era, and the great depression. The cast-iron crosses suggest the era: they are rough, simple, and durable, the sort of thing that should last through millenia...and probably will. While the graveyard has, apparently, recieved no internees in the past 80 years, the state does still maintain the yard. The galvanized Identification tags, approxiately 2"x4", are affixed in the middle of the crosses with sold rivets that are of the same durability as the crosses, themselves. It would take considerable effort- and possibly rage- to successfully deface the markers. There is plenty of evidence that such effort and rage was triggered by the actions of these mothers, daughters.....grandmothers, that lay her, at rest. The photos were taken with an ancient Voigtlander Brilliant (Focus) TLR that includes an uncoated 75mm 3.5 Skopar lens. Film was Fuji Across 100 film. Film was developed, as usual, in a 1/50 Rodinal dilution.
