MY WEEK WITH THE WORLD ARGUS:

Some claimed the camera had a curse. Upon receiving it, folks would get sick, their cats would die, or the recipient's fingers would be bitten off by rabid dogs.

Opening the package! ...a couple of movies :

WA911

Smudging the camera.

Some Plus-X scans:

Muddy T-max scans:

Crab pots.

Seagull shit with skewed horizon.

 

The following were taken on Kodak Portra NC 160.

Li, in the backseat of Cindy's convertible.

Li & Cindy.

Barbie, cruising Seattle.

Rawleigh & Sophia

...at the parade.

Judith's dad.

Judith at the Tokeland 4th of July parade. Judith: There WAS a red mini van in the middle of your driveway!

 

Eleanor.

Fireworks in the backyard.

These fireworks prints are actually kind of cool- lots of color. Not so with the scans.

Someone gave me a cheap-o pair of rainbow glasses and I held one lens of the glasses over the camera's lens just to see what would happen.Trippin'!

 

The obligatory sparkler photo.

 

Bees. Duh.

Bob took these last three (above) with a Nikon. I may use one as my self portrait. But, then, there are these...

After my first appointment just before eye surgery. 18 different types of eye drops left me looking like a drug addict.

I tried to do my self portrait a la Francis Roy, but it just doesn't work as well without the stuffed cats.

 

This is what's now inside the World Argus box.

Here's the main World Argus page, complete with all of the rules.

And I think I've decided on my page.
