Route 66 Old Days

Last Saturday found me on a road trip with my brother down Route 66. We had a great time. This photo was made in Stroud, Oklahoma. I like the perspective.

The Dog's Name is Lucky

Lucky, originally uploaded by Jeff Shaw Tulsa Oklahoma.

Lucky is our dog. He's been with us for a little over a year. He's one of those dogs that has to be under somebody all the time.

He's pretty smart, too. At least he knows when he's in trouble. This is Lucky relaxing, and perhaps trying to figure out what a camera is.

This is Kodak Gold, expired film. It was made in my Nikkormat FT camera.

Summer Time

A Boy.


A Pool.



A Camera.



I wish Summer would never end.

I shot these on Kodak Gold 100 expired in 1994.

Expired Film In An Old Camera

.

Film is my medium of choice. Photographs made with film have tooth, and depth. Film photographs capture a gradation of tones and color that other photography mediums cannot approach. This casual and relaxed portrait has a journalistic element. It feels kind of "blue" if you ask me.

This particular photo was made in my Nikkormat FT with 200 ISO Kodak Gold Film, expired in 2002.
