Photography Class 1974. I used Kodak Plus X 125 film and my Edixa Mat Relex camera.
Two Women in San Jose 1980. I probably used my Edixa Mat Reflex camera.
Steve using the Ultra 14 in a corner, 1980. A kinetic sculpture I made. I had a show at San Jose State with photographs of people and the device.
Aboard the Klamath, a docked and renovated ferry in San Francisco, November 2024. Shot with a Kardon camera and a Fed collapsible lens—F 11, 1/100—no filter—Ilford FP4. I find the range of tones and composition satisfying. I found the coated Fed lens at Seawood Photo in San Rafael.
An alley in Berkeley, 2024. I walked with a Zarya 2 with a Leitz Summitar F2/50mm lens using Ilford FP4 film and shot at F11 at 1/125. The formality of the vertical, diagonal, and lateral elements interests me—the tightness of the fence construction, and the play of light.
Oakland Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade, Year of the Snake, February 22, 2025. Ilford FP4, Praktica FX, Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Primoplan 1.9/58, shot F8 1/200.
I asked AI to create an image. I shot this on Ilford FP4 film with an Olympus OM 10, a Zuiko 1.8/50mm lens, and at f1.8—1/4 of a second.
