Instant Liv
Thursday, November 16th, 2017
Here are a few quick edits of some photos I did with Liv Sage using some of my stash of Fuji 3000 speed instant peel-apart film. They were shot with my old Speed Graphic camera. These days people seem to think the flaws in this material are interesting, so I decided to leave them in for […]
Ayn In An Instant
Monday, October 16th, 2017
I did a shoot last week to work more seriously with my new “Frankencamera” that shoots Fuji Mini film, but has a proper, sharp lens that can be focused manually and that give me total manual control of the exposure. Another thing I wanted to explore more is the new black and white […]
Some Shows
Saturday, July 1st, 2017
Wow…sorry that it has been just shy of a full month since my last post. I’ve been busy. Actually, I’ve been traveling. I just returned from Peru. No time and little internet access while I was on the road. I’ll have some of those photos to post here soon. But, meanwhile, I want to tell […]
The Environmental Portrait
Friday, August 19th, 2016
Two of my photographs have been selected by the juror for the next show, “The Environmental Portrait,” at The Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction, Vermont. It’s always a pleasure to have my work in one of the great shows that this gallery does. You can view the entire show at the link above. Or, better […]
Some Instants Before
Tuesday, April 5th, 2016
Before Areia and I went to Matthiessen State Park to shoot we took a bit of time and did some instant photos using my Speed Graphic and some of the last of Fuji’s 3000 speed black and white film. I’m going to really miss that film. It has a tonal quality that is unique. These […]
Gallery Show in Vermont
Thursday, February 4th, 2016
I was just notified that one of my photos has been selected by juror Peter Turnley for the upcoming show “Culture” at the Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction, VT. This is an old favorite of mine taken way back in 1969 when I was working at the Newark (Ohio) Advocate as a photographer and spending […]

Meanwhile you can see something new from me just about every day over on Ello: https://ello.co/davel51 Come over and check it out. It’s a great […]
Looking at Old Stuff
Sunday, December 7th, 2014
In case you are interested, I’m on Ello and I’ve been posting a lot of my old stuff on there. It will be my social media site for my photo work. Recently I’ve been posting my “docunude” series that I shot about 10 years ago. It’s environmental nude portraits of most of the models I […]

A few more photos of Athena, this time taken with a “real” camera, my D7000 and my 50mm f/1.4 lens. I like that lens for portraits. These were shot stopped down one stop to f/2. It’s nice and sharp there, with a shallow depth of focus. The originals of these, of course, are in color, […]
Instant Athena
Wednesday, November 26th, 2014
I’ve long enjoyed the 3000 speed instant film…both the Polaroid stuff and the Fuji copy. I was working on a project using that film when Fuji announced it was discontinuing it. That was a sad day. I have a stash of it and I’m continuing to work with it until it is gone forever. The […]
