Year: 2006

Hapy New (Jewish) Year. I wouk a 13.15 hour shift during the holidays.
I have something like 10-12 unscanned films in the fridge and in the developed negs drawer.

stop the opression graffiti on a comercial saying “come with us”

“let Marzel deal with Hammas” right wing nationalist slogan on a garbage can

“Call for the Messiah’s blessing for your children” Habadnik’s go to hell

Those pics are 3-4 months old or so.
All were taken with the zorki 4+ jupiter 8. Some with yellow soviet 2/3 stop filter.

Cat on Shawarma(fast food)stand – I call it “The other white meat”

“Where’s the money?”(a vandalised political “where’s the shame” sticker)

We won the war on Sharon(on the wall of a religious scouts organization)

Money And Patriotism

Nahman Meuman(Habad) Wall

I got some freebies from akptc on RFF.It includes an old camera bag(looks like an old polaroid case),some Sylvania Bulbs,some flashbars and a BROWNIE STARFLEX still with a 127 kodacolor II in it! The film shall go to Gene

who is the undisputed master of found film.
The camera is small(see wine cork for size reference) and has two appertures and one speed. Someday I will try to respool some 35mm film with 120 backing to try it.
I also got a screwomunt Zenitar to play with and I did.
Since I am moving in with Anna I dont think there will be to much posts until I get settled in,get a new internet account etc. I also decided to stop scanning BW film – I will wet print it and scan the prints.This is good enough for web publishing and much cheaper. Yesterday I visited Jerusalem to go to the national museum and visited the church of the Holy Sepulchure and the Monastery of the Cross

which is the last resting place of Shota Rustaveli

I shot a couple of rolls but they will be published much,much later.

I finished reading:

Anais Nin’s Henry and June.I liked it.I wouldnt mind reading Inscest(the sequel).
Shamrock Tea and liked it as well,nice athmosphere.

Watched:

I re – watched Cronenbergs “The Fly” it’s pretty good as far as quirky horror movies from the eighties go.
Herzog’s short Helcules.It is pointless, but it is his first short so it’s intresting if you want to see how he started.
The Ruttles-all you need is cash – Funny – a must for every Beatles fan.

To Do:
To read short story by Truman Capote and “In Cold Blood”.
Watch La Dolce Vita.

I need some negative holders for my enlarger. Anyone has meopta opemus III 35mm and 6×6 ones? Also true about a 8×10 easel and multicontrast filters.

he took it with a nikon f301(n2020)and a nikon series e 50/1.8 on kodak c-41 BW 400 film

Anna, my love, an 3-4 month old picture I had the mood to work on today.
Zorki 4,Jupiter 8 1/25 or 1/50 at f2 on delta 100 6 years expired in tetenal ultrafin 1+20 for 12 minutes(for high contrast). And they say normal lenses on rangefinders without paralax correction at minimum distance make bad portrait tools.
I got a very nice deal on a project J-12 with finder from Massimiliano Mortillaro on rff and I will close the deal any day now.

I got an enlarger+stuff(80 wetzlar lens, tanks, baths, lights, grainfocuser,timer etc.) from a friend today.It does up to 6×6.

It’s a meopta Opemus III(i think). It needs a little cleaning, a red filter,a multicontrast filter pack+drawer,50 lens and an easel(I got a small one,I need a 20×30 or 24×36 one). I am excited.I hope I’ll be able to do worthy prints within 6 months or so(taking into account my learning curve when learning film developing.).

I got Shay Yochay into m42 lenses(on his canon 20d). He got several and doesnt have time to try them all. I loaned a cosinon 35/2.8 he got and put it via adapter on the pentax k1000,loaded it with tmax 400. Will try with and without red filter(depends on time of day). He also ordered a zenitar I want to try.
