March 17th, Saint Patrick's Day, New York City.
It doesn't get any crazier in the streets of NY than this day except for maybe New Year's Eve. I love the energy in the city during days like this. Coming out of Penn Station, I meant to actually watch/photograph part of the parade along Fifth Ave, but got sidetracked so many times that I ended up not watching any of it. I am no street photographer (as a matter of fact, I've never done ANY street photography before), but I really did enjoy shooting this! Strangers are helluva lot of fun to shoot! :)
These were all shot on 4 different film cameras (Mamiya 645 80mm f/1.9, Canon EOS3 50mm f/1.4, Holga 120N whose shutter broke in the middle of the day, and the Canonet QL17) and several different films (Portra400, Superia 400, Kodak E100VS cross-processed and HP5). You'd think I shot each film stock with each camera right? As a matter of fact I did! :) Thanks to Tim for lending me the Canonet of which I am now also a proud owner (for less than $100 on ebay, that can't be beat!). Alright let's take it to the streets!
Let me know what you guys think, cheers! 
So very cool, Peter! Four cameras + all that film... love what you captured.

ReplyDeleteJen, thanks for sharing it too!
DeleteGreat stuff, Peter! Love those Canonet shots and it looks like you got some really good ones from the Holga! Can I get a copy of the portrait of me? :-)
