I went home to North Carolina over the Thanksgiving weekend to spend some time with my family. My uncle had happed upon a Yashica Mat 124 when going through some of my grandfather's stuff. It is in excellent condition, barely used. If I knew my grandfather it is likely he shot maybe a roll or two and tossed it in a closet somewhere. I pulled a roll of film out that was half exposed, probably shot in 1975. I was worried that the light meter would be off so I over-developed the film a little, which accounts for the greyness.

I didn't get to shoot this week but I found another little project to devote some time to. I found some glass slides and I messed around with positive and negatives, mostly photoshop magic.

Fall Comes to New England

New Stuff... Long Overdue

More Summer Photos...

I still have more to develope and scan, so stay tuned.

Some Summer Photos...

I have a wealth of film that I shot this summer and today I made my first crack at it.  After a frustrating day of wrestling with the scanner, this is all I have to show.  After all I am satisfied with a few from this small sample.  Hopefully I will have more soon.

Here is a really quick scan of one of my more recent images. I have tons of film to scan and I plan to post a lot of it soon. At the moment I have one foot out the door so I have no real time for a legitimate post.

A photo adventure with Frank Armstrong!  Check his blog (pitchertaker) for a better version of the middle photo.

These are some film scans from a shoot at a local carnival, this past weekend.  They all need to be rescanned and my color correction is kinda shoddy, but I'm satisfied with the stuff I got.  I still have more to develop/scan.

Another Worcester excursion but less to show for it. I have been shooting digital a lot lately because I can't afford film at the moment. I have so many portraits I want to make once I get my hands on some 4x5 film. Hopefully it wont be too long.

Here are the last ofmy good images from the show. The B&W, fish eye image of AWK could use more contrast but I probably wont get around to fixing it for a while. I only posted it because my friend Julie is one of the faces in the background and I wanted her to see it.

Last night, Math the Band and Andrew W.K. played in the Grind at Clark University. I covered the event for ROCU's website and these are only a few of what I got. I still have tons more unedited and I wish I had thought ahead enough to put the Math the Band photos before the AWK photos but no one is perfect. I had a blast at this show. Both Math and AWK were great and the whole show had an incredible energy. I was sitting on the stage for most of these and at the end of the show I was trampled by the crowd trying to get past me. But my camera and I are fine and I have walked away with some cool images and only a few bruises to show for it. If for any reason, you want to use these (or any others on my blog), I must insist that you contact me for consent: jmckinley@clarku.edu. Thanks.
