The Edge of the World

 

Just in case you've wondered about where the edge of the World is...

 

 

Holga wide pinhole

 Another day, another pinhole photo...

Although, I made this one yesterday just because I found a small film-holder that was loaded with some ancient Efke that I needed to know if it still worked or was fogged...

And guess what, it works...mostly.

The cool thing about digging through old boxes of stuff is finding some left behinds.  

I sometimes think about just sticking to one format and one camera and one film emulsion, but it NEVER works that way. I'm too fickle and love too many cameras.

Finding this particular film holder with old EFKE in it has prompted me to go on another search for a prized little box I have that hasn't been used in a few years.  Stay tuned for that...plus I want to build another camera after seeing one a friend had built for this same small format size....

Have a great Monday!

Pancho Villa was here....

 

What the heck? Another post? Is the world going to end...well not just yet I hope.

Same camera as before, the Holga wide pinhole which I love all over again.

Campsite at Columbus, New Mexico...yeah, where Pancho Villa raided the town... it's an interesting story with a lot of intrigue and mystique actually.

Pancho Villa State Park sits a scant three miles north of the border with Mexico and is quite sparse as state parks go. 

I loved it here! Not crowded, wide open spaces. Lot's of camper spots, scrubby trees with attitude and enough sky to fill a few rolls of film.

The State Park has a nice museum, and the historical museum adjacent to the SP has an old train caboose and lots of information about the town, the railroad and old "stuff". The museum is free and the state park has a minimal entrance fee which it well worth the cost.  It's about a five hour drive south of Albuquerque, with T or C , then Hatch and then Deming along the way for some added stops and good food.

 Wow! 

It's been a minute as they say...

I'm still kicking and ticking and counting in my head for pinhole stuff.

This one made in a park in Blanco Texas after a deluge of rain. I'd forgotten what a good rainstorm felt like since we rarely have them in New Mexico.

Rain is really wet when it comes downs in buckets. It's also warm and not ice cold like here at home...but it was cold on this early January day.

Holga Wide pinhole at the 6 x 12 format on 120 film if you must know the deets.

This is going to be my camera du jour for the year for pinhole, so by some rare chance I post on a regular basis again, that's the scoobie doo on that.

Stay well everyone.

I may be back....
