THE ARGUS WORLD ARGOSY

Tim Verthein - Bovey, MN

Oops...that's not a C3! I had finished the last shot in the World Argus and realized I didn't have a self portrait yet!  I was finishing a roll of chromogenic black and white film in a Canon FTb, hence, got this quick "man in the mirror" self portrait.

Lighthouse at Canal Park in Duluth, Minnesota at Lake Superior. A popular spot for locals and tourists any time of year. What started off as a crummy day brightened up for me to get some nice photos. It took a bit of convincing to get the seagull to smile for me!  Agfa HDC 200 ISO color print film.  f:11 1/250

Aerial Lift Bridge, Lake Superior, Duluth. Yes, this bridge actually lifts straight up, bring the road section high enough so that large ore ships and the like can pass under.  You can't imagine the volume of horns and bells, along with flashing lights that go off before the bridge goes up! Agfa HDC 200 f:11 1/250

My son testing tubes in the kitchen.  You can tell in our house we're all kinda living in the past! Agfa HDC 200 1/25 at f:16 using a 70's vintage Argus electronic flash (and the only one I could find in the house handy that had a PC cord on it). He's still seeing little blue square lights!
