WWII Weekend in Reading, Pennsylvania: Minolta SrT-202 + Kodak Gold 200 and Portra 400
For my 16th time being there, it never gets old. From meeting veterans, watching reenactments, and seeing warbirds take to the skies, it’s always the highlight of my summer. I just wish I had taken more film last year, but then again, June isn’t too far away now.
WWII Weekend in Reading, Pennsylvania: Minolta SrT-202 + Kodak Tri-X 400
With the focus being on creating “believable” images, it was tough to get a moment where no regular visitors were in the frame. There were lots of images throughout the day highlighting the event as a whole and showing the broad picture, but I tried to capture images that would put the viewer back in time.
Analog Photo Classes in Bethlehem PA: Minolta SRT-202 + Tri-X 400
The SRT-202 is arguably one of Minolta’s legendary cameras, fully mechanical and built like a tank it was probably the best camera for a college student like myself to learn on my own. One of the first subjects to land a place on Tri-X was Bethlehem Steel’s former world Headquarters, Martin Tower. A nice gray and misty day added to the challenge of photographing the 23-story blue and white structure from behind the chain-link fences.
Infrared Universe: Minolta Riva Zoom 75w + Lomochrome Purple
To shoot this series, I used a point and shoot camera I found at the local second hand shop: Minolta Riva Zoom 75w. I like trying out these kind of cameras, they’re easy to use and you can usually find them for under 3 euros. The film that was used is Lomochrome Purple from Lomography.
