Medium Format Madrid, Pt. 2

More Yashica Madrid photos! My trip to California turned into a trip to Boston last minute (thats production for you) so no updates from San Fran, but we had incredible shooting weather and it was a great trip. Summer in New England is magical, I wish I could stay and go hiking and camping but i'll be off to Georgia for another job next week.

Medium Format Madrid

I'm really happy to share some pictures that I took last week in Spain, they feel like instant classics. They were shot with a Yashica Mat 124-G on Tmax 400. Also one of my "art of packing" photos was featured over at Japan Camera Hunter, which is probably my favorite film-related website! Head over and take a look and browse their great articles as well. 

 

Jet lags and zig zags

My posting has been somewhat scarce as of late, and to my small audience I apologize. This month has been a blaze of traveling, work, and lots of fun. Me and Steffy went to Spain for a reunion with some of my family and the internet was spotty, so it took me until now to get up some new photos that I developed before I left. I'm happy to report that my concerns about the softness of my Olympus XA2 were eased once I developed a batch with fresh film. As you can see in these photos (one last one from Nicaragua, two from a job in Miami) it's capable of pretty decent sharpness for a tiny $60 camera. 

The Yashica-Mat 124G was my weapon of choice for Spain, a questionable choice to carry around while walking six to eight hours a day. However, I felt that the uniqueness of a trip to Europe deserved the most resolution that I could get, shoulder be damned. I've got less than a 48 hour turnaround before I head off to San Francisco for work (and exploration), hopefully I can fit in time to develop before I'm off again. Life is good in the summer of 2014!
