A square color photograph of a stylized terra cotta sun, hanging on our backyard fence, shot from underneath. A big circle, it's around 16" inches in diameter.

A grid of four square color photographs, the same Yellow Cosmos flower, slightly different views. The background in each photo is the rest of the plant, a dark blue and green contrast to the bright yellow flower.

Muni 578s (an electric streetcar, but the body style is like a cable car) in front of the Ferry Building
A Blackpool Boat in SF
A nice old bus. In real life it's dark orange.
Another old bus. Built by Mack, I think. There is a Pepsi ad shaped like a bottle cap on the front (the bus is from before my time, but I remember the Pepsi ads)
Scanned some of my #SFMuni Heritage Weekend negatives.
When I do this, I'm often a little disappointed at first because blown up to the size of a maximized window, the deficiencies of simple old cameras stand out. But shrunken down, they seem pretty nice.
A phone […]

6x6cm negative of SF Muni "Dinky" 578s in front of the Ferry Building. (It's a trolley, but it's so old-fashioned it looks like a cable car).

Muni negs!
I got so impatient to see these I took a picture of some dramatic clouds today just to finish the roll.

white-pained wooden fruit stand, under an oak tree, by the side of the road
same thing, different angle, so you can see inside a bit and and all of the produce they have for sale
Gowan's Oak Tree fruit stand, Philo, CA.
They have a cider tasting place a half mile up the road.
On their orchard they have a very old apple tree, a variety from Siberia, which they claim came to California with the Russian colony at Ft Ross.

a big vertical boiler with a conical smokestack on top, and a bunch of gears and winches in front
the same machine from a different angle, so you can see the giant log "skids" it is built on. (when they needed to move these things, sometimes they´d attach a cable to a tree and it'd just pull itself along)
This steam donkey engine is at a rest stop on the road from Willits to Fort Bragg.
Took one picture (the square one) with a Duaflex, finished a roll, and switched to a Brownie.

a bunch of very tall sunflowers, taken from below. the sky is light towards the bottom and dark towards the top
Sunflowers in Niles CA, on the way to the
#NilesEssenaySilentFilmMuseum ( @Essanay ). Taken with a #KodakDuaflex, with a graded clear-to-yellowish filter (that's why the sky gets darker and darker going up).
big roll of yellow transparent plastic
looking through an assembled filter
installed on the camera
So, cut out a tiny circle from this giant sheet of yellow plastic, reassembled the filter, and I'm good to go.
I'm heading out of town next week, driving some kids to a camp. Of all my old cameras, the #KodakDuaflex is the best one I've got for taking pictures […]

a lens filter, very funky
how to disassemble. the metal housing is in two pieces that screw together. you just need to get leverage to unscrew them.
cleaning everything with some hydrogen peroxide
the yellow filter itself, warped and blotchy
I got this yellow "sky filter" for my #KodakDuaflex. It was cheap, for obvious reasons. These things screw apart, so I was able to disassemble it and clean up most of it. It's actually a sandwich of two glass disks and a sheet of yellow plastic between them. The […]

Randy's Donuts, with the giant donut on the roof

From a recent trip to LA. Taken with a Kodak Duaflex (with a roll of #120film sanded and clipped down to 620 size).

A colorful clear sticker on the wing window of a hot rod featuring a devilish brunette with horns and a tail, in a red body suit wearing heels, sitting on a die that shows five red skulls, surrounded by luck-centric icons, holding a martini glass in her right hand. In the background are other window stickers and part of the car's interior.

a (former?) local print shop
an abandoned house on the south end of town
barn at the end of a dead-end row
Cunha's General Store. nice mural
Spent and afternoon in #HalfMoonBay taking pictures with a #KodakDuaflex.
When I took the picture of the barn, there were a few people around. I finally got to try the "sneaky sideways TLR trick".
VTA light rail train in a leafy SJ street
a downtown SJ hotel, with a somewhat famous picture of a diver, an advertisement for the fact that decades ago it had a pool.
Since I have my film processed by Foto Express in downtown #SanJose, I end up taking a lot of pictures around there.
These were shot on a #KodakDuaflex

Photo taken through the viewfinder of a Kodak Duaflex pseudo-TLR camera. It shows our handsome orange and white cat, Henri, sitting on a table and looking at me.
After an initial clean, the viewfinder is much better.

Front view of a small Duaflex pseudo TLR camera. I am holding it so the light from the window shines through the viewfinder, so the viewing lens brightly shows the view throughtje window.

It's so smol! Original Kodak Duaflex pseudo-TLR camera - needs a good clean.

Their was originally a pier here and this is where immigrants came ashore. I used a "cloud filter" which has a gradient from clear to yellow from bottom to top, which makes the sky look dramatic.
I think the two characters at the bottom left say Golden Gate.
Used the "portrait attachment" which changes the focal distance to approx 3".
Water tanks for a small power plant on Angel Island.

If you want to shoot a vintage camera while out and about with family and not abuse their patience, a #Duaflex on a neck strap is a good choice.

The crutches are upside down with the pads touching the concrete at the base of the wall and the feet caps interrupting the graffiti.
