this is officially my first film blog post. on my recent trip to germany i took pop’s film camera, and loved it. the experience of taking a photo and having to wait 3 weeks to see it is… frustrating… unnerving… and (finally) so rewarding. the camera is an argus 21 (version 1) markfinder (no rangefinder here) manufactured between 1947-1952. Pop bought it brand new from the store, and it was passed to me a couple of years ago. i immediately had it repaired, but until this trip it mostly acted as decoration. I was shooting on Fujifilm neopan 100 acros film, and had it developed at E6 labs in atlanta. i was astonished with the results from the 64 year old camera, and will be using pop’s camera on a much more regular basis.

here are a few of my favorites.

^view from the hotel room. frankfurt is germany’s only city that allows skyscrapers.^

the next few photos were taken in the shopping district which is Germany’s “5th avenue” in “MAINhatten” (nicknamed for the Main River)

^this dude started chasing me trying to get money for taking his photo with his mini horse. his sign translates roughly to: Circus Kramani, thanks for the feed donation for 30 circus animals.^

^this photo will be hanging on my wall soon.^

^there are thousands of locks on this bridge with couples’ names engraved or written on them. the only other time i have seen something like this is at the great wall of china.^

^this is probably my favorite photo that I have taken so far on this trip; it’s a wall hanger also.^

^the frankfurter is kind of a big deal in frankfurt. i don’t know how many meals i had that were sausage, potatoes, sauerkraut, and beer. within 1 day of coming home I was already craving german food.^

^i checked out the museum of modern art, and got to see some of andy warhol’s work. not what i was expecting in frankfurt.^

^this was the first attempt at taking the photo below, long exposure, no tripod, camera moves, and photog just started waving it around in frustration^

^i headed back to the mall to do some people watching… i wanted you to have a feel for the people^

^this dude has crutches strapped to his backpack… impressive^

^if you cannot afford housing the gov’t will pick up the tab, so there are no homeless… just wannabes^

^the red bowl is his food bowl, the yellow is for charity. i never got the impression this dog had it rough.^

^another mini horse on display…^

^this bmw was parallel parked between 2 other cars, and was swiftly lifted onto the back of the truck.^

^i made some friends at this “art supply store”. you can check out some of klark kent’s (on the left) work at www.klarkkent.de.^

^here is one of klark’s pieces in downtown frankfurt… it spells kent^

^this was an ancient fortress that is now one of the best damn restaurants in frankfurt^

^germany has tons of street art, that is about as bad as crime gets. ironically this is the side of an old prison.^

^this smart car just gave the middle finger to the jag and bmw that didn’t leave enough room for another car^

^lufthansa airlines had a big party during their strike, and we got to see a free concert. we were not worried, we flew delta.^

^frankfurt is a large banking center in germany, so of course “occupy bankfurt” was there^

^these guys were all set. tepee, check. fireplace, check. coat rack, check. today’s newspaper, check. recliner, check. mini trampoline, check. job, nah.^

^it’s time to leave frankfurt and head to aachen^

^the art is impressive, and so are all of the holes in the wall.^

^it is hard to tell from this small image, but this is a combination of 54 individual images. each of 18 pano shots were first HDR (3 shots 2 ev apart) then stitched together^

^a rainy night in aachen. this is their town hall^

^i experimented quite a bit this trip with my “pop’s” film camera, i will post some when I get the film back^

^we took a day trip through 3 countries. we made a stop in malmedy. you WWII buffs may be familiar with this area.^

^the three photos above were not taken with the film camera. this is an infrared lens on my main camera^

^windfarm in netherlands^

^downtown burssels, belgium^

^the Autobahn was even cooler than i expected. i promise this is the fastest we went…ish (176 kph = 109 mph)^

^it’s crazy to think that 67 years to the day my grandfather was standing in this same place watching all hell break loose, and thanks to him I can sit here and enjoy a beer. i just wish he was sitting across the table with a beer of his own.^

^taken from the tower of the Bridge at Remagen (former)^

^Rhine river^

^i’m a big fan of chuck close’s paintings. this was on the side of a museum in frankfurt^

after being cooped up inside all day yesterday by the thunderstorms; i had to get out when the skies parted. i have seen countless photos from this bridge over freedom parkway, but have never shot there myself. as i suspected I was not the only photog on the bridge. i was really hoping for some cool looking clouds (since it had stormed all day), but the sky was absolutely clear. it was not exactly what i expecting, but i’m really happy with the results.

(above image: this is the view 180 degrees due east)

(above image: shot infrared filter + 3 2-stop HDR -> black+white) – this was taken before the streetlights were on

(shot infrared filter + 3 2-stop HDR)
