I had to double-check my notes on this one - f/2.9 with a 75mm lens on a scale-focus medium format camera shouldn't be this sharp. Sure, the corners are a bit weird, but still... not too shabby.
Also, I've wanted to photograph this abandoned tunnel for a long time. Finally found myself with the right conditions and with the right footwear to do a bit of casual trespassing. Well worth the wait.
Late last year, I ran a small project with a nonprofit in San Francisco. We gave out instant film cameras (color and black and white) to 5 people who were either unhoused or who lived nearby in one of the 'SROs'. We did a tiny, tiny exhibition.
I'm still working to figure out how to make this a more regular thing, and how to show their work, because they have such amazing stories to tell.
Roll eps16 (cont.): Parsons College, Fairfield, Iowa (June 1966)
In two years of living at Parsons, this was the first time I had ever seen a man and a woman together on campus. He is of course a senior, and the girl is just visiting for graduation.
This wasn't because there were no women students, you understand. But unless you were an upperclassman and had a car, there was no way you'd ever get to interact with them.
