Open Shutter. Full Speed Ahead!

Pentax ME Super Takumar 50mm f1.7 Kodak VR 100 - Set the camera on Bulb, hold it out the window of a moving care and open the shutter for several seconds, this is what you get. This is the frame before my Electric Glass image in the previous post. I was just finding my way in photography in a mid 80's, and thinking back I wish I had focused more. Photography took a back seat to music in those days, little did I know the it would be photography that would end up paying my bills.

Electric Glass Co. Phoebus, Virginia

Pentax ME Super Super Takumar 50mm f1.7 Kodak VR 100 - Pulling from the archive on a cold snowy day. This is one of my favorite images, simple with a retro feel. Shot in Phoebus, Va. in 1982 on a nighttime teenage photo safari, the Electric Glass Co. was a lamp and lighting store. A Phoebus landmark for many years, the sign is gone the building is now an art gallery.

From The Archives - Old Boat Grandview 1982

Pentax ME Super 50mm F1.7 Kodak Tri-X D76 Microdol X Stock - Another old favorite. Late fall in the Grandview section of Hampton Virginia in late 1982. My first 35mm SLR was a Pentax ME Super. I learned to shoot on my Father;s Kondak Retina IIIs before getting the ME Super.
