If you've ever wondered what the #fujifilm #tx1 / #hasselblad #xpan is like to own and shoot, I've finished rewriting a long-term (nine years!) review of the camera.

A shopper selects from an enormous pile of radishes at a farmers' market in Union Square.

(this image is titled "Radishes I", but there never ended up being a "Radishes II")

A shopper holds a plastic bag out to the side as they look at an enormous pile of radishes stacked on top of a table at a farmer's market. There are three colors of radishes, stacked into bands of each type that run into one another. A stall worker is visible in the background, as well as a truck used to transport produce.

Honestly, for a first try on a crappy laserjet, this little #zine proof of concept didn't turn out half bad!

Certainly it was fun to work on, taught me how to use the basics of #inkscape, and should be a fun outlet for smaller #filmphotography projects.

Support columns in Times Square Station produce a filmstrip-like effect.

#fujifilmtx1 #35mm #filmphotography #analogphotography #film #nyc #streetphotography #believeinfilm #panorama
Support columns in a subway station divide a series of small scenes of people standing around a station vending kiosk, benches, and the platform in general in a way that evokes a strip of exposed film.

A floatplane takes off of the waters of Alaska on a foggy, misty day. One of very few more "landscapey" photos I've taken that I like.

Diptych of two photos taken many years ago on a trip. This is Ektar 100, if you were curious!

Three orange helicopters approach the camera over a stark black-and-white glacier, broken up by several orange traffic cones. The lead helicopter's blades are blurred but visible as the aircraft prepares to land.

A dutched photo of a storefront, where numerous fruits and vegetables are on display outdoors. A person walks towards the camera, apparently as the store lists behind them; it is a perspective trick as the street is slanted upwards.

And that's about it for the #filmphotography misfits! By and large, I find most of my other 1:1 and 3:2 work unremarkable, and by this "time" in what I'm posting I'd just sold my Nikon Coolscan 8000.

So, without any pipeline for medium format, I committed fully to the panoramic lifestyle.

Two children sit next to their guardians on a bench.

One of just a handful of photos I took with the eccentric, but very cool Leica R8. Also probably one of my favorite shots, period.

#leica #leicar8 #leicar #35mm #filmphotography #analogphotography #film #nyc #streetphotography #believeinfilm
Two children sit at the center of a bench, facing in opposite directions. They are looking at two adults, sitting at the far ends of the bench, both of whom are looking at the children. The guardian on the left is wearing mostly black and a black hat, while the one on the right is wearing a white shirt and white hat.

Two people look in at a theater ticket window and snap a quick photo.

Unlike the others, this was shot with the Mamiya 6 ILC rangefinder (not the folder). Amazing camera.

A couple stands in front of a theater ticket window beneath string lights and signs. One is raising a phone in both hands to take a picture. A blurry person walks towards them in the foreground while two others are set to pass by in the background.
