HearseCon 2019:
Sort of a Middle-Aged Goth Experience………..
Instagram censored and blurred out the second image with the pick axe. Tooo Disturbing?

Inspired By Chris Gampat @Phoblographer: My “New” Fuji GW690 III
A while ago Chris Gampat had a very insightful article on the Phoblographer regarding the “5 of Our Favorite Film Rangefinder Cameras (One for Everyone)” Guess what? I bought one…….This was my first test roll through the Fuji GW690 III. Boxed like new and delivered from Japan in a timely manner.
Now for my Very Dramatic second roll through this camera…….Roosevelt Dam:
Apache Lake, Canyon Lake and the Superstition Mountains…….
The lens for the GW690III is know for it’s high contrast. I’d never thought about lenses affecting the contrast. But see the difference between my Mamiya 7 and this camera at the Superstition Mountains:
Mt Meeker
Definitely better with SFX-200 shooting into the sun,than with Lomo Purple (below):
Botanicals Special Recognition: Yucca Baccata
Lomo Purple
The Face at Sears-Kay Ruins
Natural features are sometimes much more intriguing than human-made ones……..But still check out the Sears-Kay Ruins.
Two perspectives at about the same zoom………..
Inspired By: John Sexton
After Viewing This Image, I knew what I wanted to say here….Inspired by John Sexton’s rich silver prints:
I can’t wait to print this image. Taken with my new/old Fuji GW690II, this was only the second roll through the camera. The subject, the Roosevelt Dam at Salt Creek, AZ. Oooooh that Black Water!
Yes my Image is grainy and high contrast, but I’m not trying to copy the Sexton Style, I am instead drawing a link in Personal Vision of what represents Beauty. Inspired by His Book, “Places of Power” and an appreciation of Industrial Beauty:
