Salem Fine Art Photographer . . . Published!

Stacie Turner, of Stacie Turner Photography, has started a toy camera magazine (currently unnamed). 

It is available both online, as a digital download, and in print. 

I am so happy to have an image in the first publication!

Here is a screen shot of my image  (on the right) and then a list of featured artists down below.

You can get more information about the magazine, and download a copy, HERE.

Salem Model Photographer | Sunshine.

It was a pleasure working with the beautiful Miss Porshe. 

We worked together on styling this session and I love how it turned out.

Oh, are you wondering why it looks so beautiful and sunny while there are blizzards around the country? That is because this is from early fall and I'm just now getting around to blogging it. I'm kind of a slacker when it comes to blogging, in case you haven't noticed. 

This session was a combination of digital and film, including 

multiple film cameras and formats. 

Just a few "artsy" shots, taken with one of my vintage cameras...

This month, I shot with a Sabre 620, which is available in a 

variety of colors, including mint green, red, blue, beige, black, 

brown marble, and possibly others. I only own the beige and the 

black models, but would love to collect more!

Brand/Model: Sabre 620 

film type/size: 620 (medium format)

Years of production: 1956-1972 (by Shaw-Harrison)

Film used for this blog post: Kodak t-max 400

Here is what the camera looks like. The circle in the center is where the lens is located and the square at the top is the view finder. As you can see, they don't exactly line up. 

This can make for interesting compositions. Or not.

This is the camera, apart, ready for film to be loaded. 

As you can see, it's a VERY basic plastic box camera. Because it's 

so simple in design, negative scratches are a common occurrence, as 

the film can scrape on things when winding.

Here are a few photos that I took with the camera. 

If you're interested in shooting with a Sabre, I recommend having a lot of light or using 800-3200 speed film. I am not positive, but I believe the shutter speed is around 1/50 second and the aperture is around f/5.6. I had a hard time finding the answer to this when I researched the camera. 

Here is a fun little light leak, which makes this image interesting. My friends, who were with me at a haunted cemetery when I took this, insist it's a ghost. If so, I think we should name him Kodak.
