Yesterday I Photographed the wedding of Monique and Nicholas at the beautiful Basilica in Newark NJ and then we headed to the Lake Valhalla Club in Montville. I added a little something different to this wedding, I took with me a 1940s/1950's large format (4x5) all manual camera (that produces a negative many times larger than a 35mm shot the type a newspaper photographer of the time would use while covering an event back then. As a matter of fact that famous Iwo Jima battle photo of US Soldiers raising the American Flag was taken with this type of camera) combined with a modern day Instax Wide back (which I had to do some adapting to shoot handheld) and took a few shots with it. You can see a short clip below of the making of one of the shots. The couple really enjoyed the experience and the photos.

30 Years ago in 1993 while still learning photography I snuck a camera into the Garden State Arts center (now PNC Arts Center) under my denim jacket. My objective was to take photos of the BB King show. I had pretty good seats, I think I was in the first 10 Rows right in the center. I probably shot about 20 photos that night and this one is for sure my favorite. The camera I used was my trusty and favorite Canon AE-1 that I took over from my Dad at the time and read the manual 100 times. That Camera, which my dad bought around 1981, everything about it brings back memories from then and my initial interest in photography. Years later I gave the camera to my Sister, years after that she gave it to her Daughter and a few years after that my Niece learning that I had a connection with that camera gave it back to me.

Just did a Video on my 2 roll challenge where I had 2 rolls of film, a total of 24 shots (thats nothing in the digital world!) and about 2 hours to find subjects to photograph in New York City. While one can shoot digital endlessly for free, with film besides it having a different quality, every time you press the shutter it costs you between $1-$2 dollars, so with film you have to choose your shots carefully and make the correct exposure! The video shows all 24 shots and a little intro with info about the project.
