Charles, that is a complicated image to execute so well. Well done.

Congratulations on finishing the Transect Andy! I looked at Colorado Seen but don't find it. Have you published it anywhere yet? The photos you posted here are really nice, sublime tones and composition as always.

That would have been quite a trick, since the fancy (C)330 didn't arrive until 1969. ;)

Probably a C or C2 with 105mm lens - nevertheless, the pictures are very well done.

About that age I had a Yashica-D - now a Mamiya 6 + 50/75/150

Which reminds me... what with lockdowns and dealing with some family crises, I have't posted here recently. Finished my 46-picture Colorado Transect project in late June, and this is one of the last pictures I had to find. In a place like this, social distancing was easy......

This is great Charles, a really well done portrait.

And this is terrific John, especially the second one. I really like the classic vintage look.

Back in about 1958, I borrowed a Mamiya 330 with (I think) a 110mm lens. There was a very pretty girl I was entranced with and needed an excuse to photograph her. ie. needed to 'test' the camera 😇. Hand held camera, with only desk lamps and wobbly old stands and a couple of floodlights I nervously managed these two images (edited from two rolls of 12 exp.). Worth a giggle for me today. I wish I knew where she is now. So true for so many of my subjects.

Working on a new magazine issue right now, and a Blurb book - but it may be a while. Gotta do maps and write text and create cover designs and such. And life at the moment has - other - complications.

Sounds great, I really look forward to the results. I understand what you mean, such is life; it tends to get in the way of other things. But I do hope that will go well too.

Your series from Turkey is wonderful, with this one being my favorite. A great documentary and worth being printed and exhibited.

 There seems to be a well-founded rumor (not sure how well-founded) that Plustek is coming out with a new version of its 120 scanner. I've emailed Plustek for confirmation and awaiting response. This would be especially important for MF photographers. I think the current Plustek is the very best 35 scanner short of the Nikon. I do my own scanning right now, but I sure will be watching this closely.....

Indeed, just heard back. A 120 pro is in the works. No date yet.

Andy, you are most likely correct. I would have been about 17/18 at the time, which puts it in the late 50's. It would have been a C22(?) and I think, as you said, a 105mm lens.

I do like your  Private Crossing' pic. I see some humour in it as who would know if you crossed the line out there! 😇

Continuing my retrospective series, for the moment. Here is a selection (5) shot in a restaurant/club in Cappadocia in July, 1989. Film was Kodachrome 64 in a Nikon F801 with a 2.8/24mm lens. Handheld exp at about 1/2sec. Can't believe how desperate I was to get pics in such low light with that film!

Dancer removes some clothing and 'winds' up.
