Behind the photos: The Bronica ETRS.

-
The Bronica ETRS is a medium format Single Lens Reflex (SLR). Unlike most medium format cameras, which produce 6cm by 6cm images, it produces 6cm by 4.5cm images on 120 format film. As I've done much of my work on 35mm, I chose a rectangular format as opposed to the square format, because I prefer the compositional choice that using a rectangular format gives. Unlike most 35mm SLR's, Medium format SLR's frequently have not only interchangable lenses, but interchangable viewfinders and backs as well.
Here we see my Bronica disassembled into its individual components from left to right and top to bottom: The 75mm lens, which is the normal lens for this format. The body of the camera, which contains the battery and mirror. The back, which contains the film. The viewfinder, in this case, a simple prism finder (non metered, there is a metered finder as well, which has apeture priority auto exposure). Finally, the optional grip. The grip has a 35mm style film winder, as opposed to the crank type finder that the base camera comes with, along with a flash hot shoe. The advantage to having an interchangable back means that you can have multiple backs for different film types (color, black and white, and even a Polaroid back), or different film speeds. The viewfinder can be exchanged for the more traditional waist level finder frequently found on medium format Twin Lens Reflexes or the previously mentioned AE finder.
The other two lenses, a 50mm moderate wide angle, equivalent to a 31mm on 35mm, and 150mm short telephoto, equivalent to 93mm on 35mm. Thanks for looking, and as always, feel free to comment!

Franklin and the Green River Gorge mining operations.

While the town of Franklin was abandoned in the early 1920's, several mines at Franklin operated into the 1960's, including two mines down the hill and across the river. (a third mine across the river was operated until the town was abandoned) Because the town was situated above the Green River Gorge, there is a considerable climb down to the river from the access to the town site, and an incline was used to access the mine operations across the river. Recently, my friend Peter and I went down the northern most of the three paths down to the river (first path from the trailhead), which was the access to the last mine in the area, which was closed as an explosives test during the 1960's, as I had heard about an abandoned mine cart in the river that's most visible in the summer when the water is at its lowest. I brought my digital IR equipment (D70 + R72 IR only filter), the D200, set to black and white, and the Lomo Fisheye down with me. The abandoned mine cart

Newcastle IR project Part 2

The town of Newcastle was orginally located near the current Newcastle Nursery, east of the present town, where the original mine was located. The town later moved up the Coal Creek canyon to what is now the Red Town Trailhead of Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park. The area had been previously known as Coal Creek, but became Newcastle when the Post Office moved from the old town site. Red Town was a neighborhood where the houses were all painted red. Other neighborhoods were were known as Rainbow Town and Finn Town. Some of the houses came from Franklin, when that town was abandoned. The town disappeared when the major mining operations shut down in the 1920's and 30's. This dam provided water for the town site from a small creek known as Red Town Creek. Wooden planks that formed part of the dam can still be seen at the base of the water. This foundation supported an electrical dynamo that provided electricity for the town and the mines. It is located in the back yard of a

My apologies for a lack of posts, and the B-29 bomber Fifi.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the lack of posts, I've been pretty uninspired, my Darkroom is out of order, and I've been more focused on building an IT career. One of my off and on interests has been military history and military aviation. A few years ago, the Commemorative Air Force's B-29 bomber Fifi, one of only two flight worthy B-29's, visited the Seattle area, for the first time since the 1980's. Fifi was built at Boeing's Renton Factory, which now produces 737 airliners. My dad and I were able to visit her while she was at Boeing Field and the Museum of Flight.   The B-29 was innovative as one of the first pressurized bombers, for increased comfort for the crew, and to enable her to function as a very high altitude bomber aircraft. The pilots, navigator, and flight engineer all share the nose of the aircraft with the bombardier, unlike in previous bombers such as the B-17 and B-24. The navigator's position, situated behind the
