Thanks again to Sandy, Monika and Josh for getting out and taking the time to capture these shots. Your efforts are what make this community such a lively and interesting place to be. One of my favorite things about film photography is unexpected results, and in this case I think my makeshift tripod made the shot much more interesting. The top of it was rough and jagged, and the ground around it was wet and muddy from the melting snow, but I positioned my camera as best as I could, set the self-timer, and hoped for the best. Luckily, I noticed a short concrete cylinder sticking out of the ground. When I arrived at this spot I realized that I left my tripod at home. I had my Canon AE-1 loaded with Kodak T-MAX 400, and I was planning to take a picture for this contest. After putting in a few hours of work on a surprisingly warm Saturday in late January, I decided to explore a few areas with great views of the Mississippi River and the downtown skyline. I’m fairly new to film, and photography in general, but I work for the city as a videographer and I’ve gotten to know where the best views are to be captured from. I took this shot in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Josh Weiderin Josh Weiderin #PrintItForward entry Printed on Ilford Multigrade Fiber paper. I shot this with a Bronica SQ-A (using a mechanical self timer) on HP5+ pushed to 800. I love Poe-esque fiction and would like that vibe to seep into my work. My Bronica will only work on Silver Oxide batteries (non functional with Alkaline) that Radio Shack does not carry.

I have both a Kowa Six MM and a Bronica SQ B and if I were to list the pro and cons of each, I think the Kowa would edge out the SQ B by a hair. When printing, I went for a slightly dark interpretation. Make sure the lens self timer works, that may need servicing too. Here’s what they have to say about their photographs: In order of submission, the winners are: Sandy McLennan, Monika aka Dr Mars Rover and Josh Wiederin. As a result, we only saw a grand total of three (yes, three) brave souls submit pieces for consideration.Ĭonsidering the time and effort these three intrepid trailblazers spent in order to capture and submit their entries, the panel decided that no distinction should be made between them. However, perhaps the stipulation of self-portraits combined with a commitment to send on prints felt a little too much like hard work for some. The competition had quite a bit of activity following its initial announcement and we continued to see people commenting and sharing in the weeks that followed. It was very welcome and you have our gratitude.Įntries closed at the end of February and the panel of judges have finished their deliberations and in a haze of what can only be described as rye, we’re pleased to announce…Įach winner will be receiving one large print from the very generous Shawn Mozmode, whose idea for a giveaway sparked all this as well one print from either panel members Jonas Lundström or Craig Pindell …or for the unlucky, something from EMULSIVE HQ. Thanks to everyone who lent their support to the PrintItForward competition we kicked off a back at the end of January.
