It's been a while since I've been out to do some shooting (ahem, photographs), and even longer since I've been out to do some shooting with the much loved Yashica D. Tammy and Ashley loaned me this gem of a medium format camera early in our friendship, and dodged every attempt I made to give it back to them all the way up until they moved back to Texas... where they dodged me one last time! My goal for this super sweet and generous long term loan? Uh... USE IT. {love you guys btw}.
I dusted it off a week or two ago and took a long walk around the hill to soak up some dc sunshine - it felt so good to be out and shooting film again. Not to mention the fact that I finally have the iphone 4s and therefore have access to a built-in light meter app (thank you, thank you, thank you technology). Let's just say that in the pre iphone 4 days when I was lugging around the canon slr to act as light meter, it was a little less freeing and a little more cumbersome and annoying. I'm excited to get back out and play around with it a bit more, now that I've learned to push the film a little and am seeing how accurate my light meter is for this particular camera. Half the fun in photography is developing the relationship with your equipment :) I'm ready to dig in. Here are just a few shots from day one, medium format mosey, 2012.
...and judebear. obviously.
