the rose family. they make it so stinking easy. look at this lot. that’s four consecutive frames on the same roll. that isn’t supposed to happen. and there are plenty more. this is just a sampling because i’m really into sharing pictures from the old rollie these days. if you are nice, i’ll show more in a while.

i’ve been shooting families for the holidays for three or four years now. this year i decided to run it a bit differently. instead of scheduling every session separately, i picked a few of my favorite locations around town and set up a time slots on each day. then i got the word out and hoped people would start requesting shoot times.

they signed up alright. last weekend i shot up four different families. one on saturday and then three back to back to back on sunday. i think it went pretty well.

i took the opportunity to throw some film in the old Rolleiflex and see what happens. there were plenty of good frames with the canon full auto machine, but i thought i’d share a few from the Rollei’ tonight. maybe its just me, but there’s something extra fun about them.

i’m currently right in the middle of families weekend number 2. i’ll share some of those when they get birthed.

so i’ve got this wife. and i’ve got this old 4×5 sheet film camera. but i don’t have a scanner that can handle the huge film. friend has a scanner that can almost handle the full frame. this is a slice down the middle of a backyard shot of the wife with the old camera scanned with the friend’s scanner.

special deals for christmas cards this season. check out the details here. not many weekends left before the cards will need to be made.
