Old Friends

I don't often get time alone with 6 people in our family but last night everyone was out doing something...except me! A good time to scratch my photography itch. I love everything to do with photography - its history, its technology, its ability to preserve and transform the world around us. These are a few shots I took tonight of a few members of my "other" family I've collected over the years. The Yaschica Twin Reflex I've actually used...the last time I ran some film through it was in 2002. It was the poor man's version of the famous Mamiya C330. The Brownie Box was my grandmothers...I have some negatives from it of her as a young woman. The first two are traditionally exposed photos and then the third is an HDR version of my favourite.
