Soldier Humvee, New York City, 2001
This was taken days after 9/11, a few blocks from the Trade Center. The printing of this is kind of a watershed moment for me. It's the first 35mm negative I've printed in almost 20 years. So I guess this means I'm officially shooting with the 35mm now. I didn't know if I'd be able to make prints with my current enlarger because it's setup for medium format. But I can.
I've been steadily moving to this point. I started looking at my old street photos and that really got me excited. So here I am. I've got the Pentax K1000 with a 50mm lens to use for now. I'd like to get a view finder camera. Maybe a Canonet for starters. I want something smaller and without that obnoxious 'thwap' of the mirror slap that you get when pressing the shutter with a single lens reflex. I guess stealthier would be the proper term. I'll still be shooting with the Holga.
