Reunited

Posted byPaul W. DorrPosted inUncategorized

Awake at 0200 this morning. My mind full of plans, and ideas. Made some coffee when I realized I was not getting back to sleep . A day off work anyway, and I can always grab a nap later.

Poured some more gelatin silver plates. Six 5x7s that will be shot in the Kodak view camera, and two 4×5 plates that I will test out in my Seneca Box camera. Whilst rooting around for film holders I came across half a dozen that I had loaded some time ago. Decided it was a good excuse to bundle up and get outside. I decided on taking my trusty Speedgraphic. A camera that I once carried during a winters long hiking expedition in Patagonia.

I need not go far today though. Just on the other side of the pier is LV87, more commonly known as Lightship Ambrose. I truly am surrounded by wonderful subjects. Hat, and jacket on. Camera ,and tripod in hand. Off I went.

A New York based photographer who still shoots film. Born, and raised in New England, and living the last thirty years in midcoast Maine, I took a job as Shipkeeper aboard the Wavertree at South Street Seaport Museum in the Winter of 2016/17. On my off days I find myself exploring the City with a camera at hand. At the moment I am shooting with a Mamiya RB67, but recently acquired an 8x10 Kodak Master View, with the hopes of doing some wet plate portrait work.
