First Roll
Posted on July 26, 2009
I finally developed and scanned my very first roll on the new TLR. I’d never shot with a medium format camera before. This may be a bit too much fun…
Here are the most thrilling results.

Ricohflex Model VI
Posted on July 17, 2009
So even though I am pretty broke these days, I still managed to get my hands on this old school baby earlier this week for a completely ridiculous price (say, the price of a couple drinks at your friendly neighborhood pub). What’s outrageous is not what I paid for it, but the amount of money it will cost to actually use it. Oh well. There are worst things to blow a 20$ bill on these days I guess…

View through the viewfinder… so crisp and clear, it actually makes my knees weak.
Apparently, it’s not a bad camera at all, though it’s still not worth a fortune even 60 years later. Most of the reviews I’ve read are talking about a stiff focus, which is also the case with mine, though not a major problem. This model was made in 1953 and was originally geared towards the general public. So it’s never been a “professional” camera, even though back in those days, mostly privileged families could afford such a sweet little jewel since I believe cameras were a luxury item even for a while after the release of this one.
When I showed up at the store, I asked the guy for prices for other models, of which the cheapest 6×6 was 120$. When I asked about this one, the guy said it was broken and he didn’t have time to fiddle around with it to figure out how to heal it. After I asked him to take it out of the glass case, he realized that the shutter wasn’t broken, but that it needed to be cranked a bit in order to “unlock”… but at that point, it was too late, he had already quoted me the price “as is”. After I paid for it, I almost ran out of the store feeling like a thief, in total and utter disbelief for the unrealistic price I had paid for it. I’m a lucky gal…
For the photo nerds: photos shot with Vivitar Series 1 Macro lens, 70/210mm, 1:3,5 mounted on my Nikon D50.

The Arts at the White Night (Nuit Blanche)
Posted on March 2, 2008
It’s too bad cameras aren’t allowed at the Contemporary Museum because the fine fine arts exhibited at the Nuit Blanche in Montreal simply blew my mind. Here is some of the pictures I took at the Belgo exhibit.
