Old Train Depot

      I decided to take a trip to Northern California on a photo excursion. I used my Brownie Hawkeye camera on this trip. The photos did not come out perfect, but I'm happy with the results. I always enjoyed vintage trains. The experience of traveling cross country in a train is not a common experience as it was years gone past. One thing that drives me to use vintage cameras and equipment is to recapture a lost moment in time. By photographing these trains and bridges it set you back in time when things seemed simple or simpler times.








These pictures came out foggy due to a light leak with the film or camera. I will do some further investigation to find the issue. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. 

Till next time keep smiling

Kodak Six-20 black and white film

After shooting a roll of color film using the Kodak Six-20 I decided to switch it up. These photos are taken at some of the same locations using black and white film.


This is one of my favorite photos. I enjoy everything about it.


The old house gives that haunted feeling in black and white. I wish I could have taken this photo late in the evening to get the saturation of the clouds.

More photos to come. Till next time keep smiling.

Color film using the Kodak Six-20 camera

I decided to take the Kodak Six-20 out for a test run. This was also a new venture for me using the camera with color film. I had 8 shots for this roll of 620 film. A few came out blurry due to incorrect focus. These are the best out of the 8 photos.




I really enjoyed taking these photos. The cloud cover added character to these images. I also used black and white film at the same location. I will post those images on a later date. Until next time keep smiling.
