I'm inspired by a Dutch photographer how consequently photographed his family in all sorts of situations. After 34 years he made a book of it. It reminded me of how fast time flies and how fast childhood disappears. I decide to make more pictures of my family. I strictly use the M6 with the 50 summilux and fast B/W film to make sure that decisions on technical stuff don't slow down the picture making. Here is my youngest daughter doing her hair in the morning in front of a mirror. http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/41.html Some flowers made indoor to make up for the lousy weather http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/42.html Some more http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/43.html I'm trying to get a 80 summilux but they are still a bit too expensive for me. Then I remembered I have a heliar 85/1.5. The old mamiya I used with it was broke. On advice of Stephen Gandy I bought a Chinon CE3 which gives AE with these prehistoric P-thread lens. This is a hard lens to get in focus right. But this picture is. Full aperture. It is the teacher of my youngest daughter who uses his phone to photograph me. http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/44.html Index at:http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/paw.html Comments are welcome and appreciated.
