Luna Luna Luna

A New Project

I decided to clean, and restore one of my old TLR cameras' and the Argus was the perfect choice.

After the initial tear down, I came to the conclusion that I will need to pick up a sonic tank to clean the springs, and mechanical bits. After I do that, I will polish, regrease/oil the movements, and then shift focus (get it?) to the aesthetics of the camera. Once everything is cleaned/lubricated/repainted/etc. I will be finding film and shooting with it.

Taken from a few nights/days of shooting around Peoria. Thanks in large part to Kevin England, I have started to get back into shooting pretty much everyday. In hopes of keeping this blog current with regular updates, I will be getting out to shoot a lot more night photos, and with a new lens, the moon.

After Work

Today, after work, I decided to take a few pictures that I have been wanting to get, since starting my new job. As you can see, I wanted a bit of black and white. I think it works with the subjects?

Odds & Ends

I was going through my blog, and saw that I had not posted a bunch of photos that I planned on posting. Better late, than never:

Janesville Machine Co.

A small outing Saturday, down to the old "Janesville Machine Co." building. I am just waiting for Peoria to get (even more stupid) and tear these buildings down to make way for some sort of riverfront "improvement."

No longer a champ

A long overdue visit to the former "Champion Manufacturing" site netted me a few nice shots, but sadly, there were more that could have been, if only the sun did not have to go down. At least I got out to shoot something.

Shadows

Well, thanks to a very hazy night, I could not capture the so called "super-moon." Instead, I just took more old barn photos...

These Bite

I tried to get some macro shots of spiders with my reverse lens set-up, but thanks to wind... I could only get these:

Not a spider, but some sort of insect egg casings.

Old

The barn that is next to work has finally caved in. That was my cue to run over there and take a few pictures. If it wasn't for the wasps, I would have stayed longer and shot more... Alas, I am allergic, so the hell with that.
