Le monde en monochrome

I bought a Seagull 203 (a Chinese camera) as a temporary replacement for my Certo Six. On the first day I tested it with what was at hand - an expired HP5+ and my umbrellas that come to my rescue any time when there is nothing else to shoot ;) The next week I switched to plants in my garden ;) This impressive giant hosta was named ‘Empress Wu’ in honor of the only lady emperor of China. ----- Seagull 203 + HP5+

with my best regards to Kurt! ----- photo taken forty five years ago at Jastrzębia Góra, the Baltic seaside ----- Certo Six ----- The negative is dusty, dirty and with lots of blots and splotches, but what do you expect after forty five years? ;)

another oldie... taken in 1968 or 1969 one of my early shots, in poor condition but I like it because ot the white horse and the cart with genuine wooden wheels ----- WZFO Start Euktar lens (triplet anastigmat)

This photo was taken 44 years ago on a very rainy, misty day. From that day once or twice a year I go there and try to shoot the ruins of the great medieval Castle of Czersk (constructed in the late 14th century). Every time... before I get there the weather changes suddenly so I come back with nothing acceptable. Bad luck for more than 40 years? One wonders... ----- WZFO Start
