Gary & I have really taken to going to Palm Springs on little mini road trips. The most recent one a couple of weeks ago took us to The Ace Hotel, one of our favorite Palm Springs places. I'm also kind of dying to shoot a wedding there. But in the meantime I did bring a vintage Rollei with me on this trip and did a little bit of shooting just for fun. For some reason I have to shoot medium format film for travel photos. It slows me down, makes me work a little harder for the images, makes me shoot slower...which I think is a good thing. Here are a couple of images from the most recent trip.

If you've ever been to our house, you know that Gary and I have a pretty large collection of vintage film cameras which merged a la The Brady Bunch when we moved in together. They stare at me every day as I walk by, begging to be picked up, loved, used. So last month I finally gave in and shot a couple of rolls of film with an old Rollei. It was just too much fun. All of you Hassi and ex-Hassi users understand and probably long for the square format and I must say that shooting at waist(ish) height just makes the world look new again. I plan to start shooting with it more often. I didn't use a light meter, just eyeballed the exposure and gave my best guess and was pretty close most of the time. A good photographer exercise I think. Anyway, here is an image
