seagull
i’ve been having some fun with a plastic twin lens reflex film camera called the blackbird fly
(the orange camera pictured to the left) - click here to learn more.
the camera is a bit tricky but there’s something about the limitations that i’ve found refreshing. i’ve set it mine up to expose on the entirety of the film, sprockets and all. the shot above was the last frame of my most recent roll of film.

I love you new book.
Between “Visual Poetry”, and duChemins’ “With In The Frame” and “Vision Mongers”, I feel I’m with friends and mentors…
thanks for the good comments everyone! ….and david duchemin is a good friend, great photographer, thinker and writer. like you rob, i too really enjoy his books!
Very cool – I’m a new reader from David’s blog and thanks for the link to the Blackbird camera. Maybe Santa will bring me one :-)
Chris, thanks for doing something different and breaking out of the mold. Your vision is refreshing and, I think, something the photography world really benefits from (at least I do!). Keep up the inspiring work.
Hi, great shot! I have been thinking about getting hold of a Blackbird and now I think you may have tipped the scales. Cheers and great site btw…
Chris,
Thanks for the lead on the Black Bird. One question – are you shooting slide film with it?
Cheers,
Alex
