Salem Portrait Photographer . . . A GIRL AND HER BIKE.

Christina is not only adorable, but she's quite talented when it comes to working on and restoring old bikes. I think her appreciation for these old bikes rivals mine for old cameras, so I kinda get it!

Salem Fine Art Photographer | Me time.

I recently took a weekend trip to Astoria, Oregon. 

By myself.

Yes, BY. MY. SELF. 

And it was glorious! 

We used to live there, but the only purpose for this 

trip was for me to get some quality "me time" and relax. 

I took a few shots shortly before sunset.

 I stumbled across this amazing antique store. 

I don't know if it just did not exist when I lived in Astoria, or if it is new. If it was there, I don't know how I missed it! 

I bet I sat and watched the sea lions for an hour, if not longer. 

They are SO funny! 

I also brought along my Yashica (as seen here) with me for some practice.

Retro Rewind: Yashica Mat-124g | Salem Film Photographer

Welcome to Retro Rewind!

What is Retro Rewind, you ask?

Retro Rewind is a blog series, put on by a select group 

of photographers. Each month we will post about our experiments with 

antique, vintage, and retro cameras and/or old film. The interpretation 

of the project is very liberal and each member of the group will 

likely have very different results. 

Each member will include a link to another member's blog at the end of their post. By clicking on each link, you will eventually make a complete circle!

I, personally, have a relatively large collection of old cameras (25-30). Some are only a couple of decades old, while 

others are closer to a century old. 

I'm starting the project out with a camera that is currently in my camera bag and used on sessions. I'm still learning how to use it and have a ways to go, but I have to say that so far I love this camera! 

Brand: Yashica

Model: Mat-124 G

Film type: 120 (medium format)

Years of Production: (produced from 1970-1986)

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

Here is a photo of the camera, taken with my DSLR.

   I added a some filters to the b&w film image on this one (in photoshop).

This one has some texture added to it. 

Here is what the camera looks like when it is in use. 

It is a twin-lens reflect and the view finder is on top of the camera, so you look down into it. These were all taken with my iPhone.
