[GALLERY] Reaper Man's Photography

MMh b&w

So I finally got a roll of Ilford Delta 100 that I shot on my Rolleicord V, several months ago, scanned. Here's some of the results. Keep in mind that the Rolleicord V is purely mechanical, all exposures were estimated with the help of a table on the back of the camera. I need a lightmeter, goddamn :P.

This man was sitting on his suitcase when I first set out to take photos. He seemed to be looking for somebody. Three hours later, he was still there, looking quite depressed and being ignored by passers by.

Who was he waiting for? Why does he have a suitcase? Did they ever show up?

Here is the result of me gathering the courage to ask somebody to take their photo. Before this, I had never had the courage to ask somebody on the street. This Sikh man had really interesting eyes, made me wish I had some slide film with me, and a lightmeter. As with all photos taken on my Rolleicord, I had to guess the exposure.

Could I get the odds of those pictures after the portrait in hi-res. They'd make fine wallpapers.

If you go to my deviantART and hit download on the images, you can get 1936x1936 versions. If you want them higher res, let me know.

This old man sits at Silvermine Beach, Mui Wo, Hong Kong every day to fly his kites. Even when there's no wind, he'll be at the beach, waiting.

I was wandering the main village area in Mui Wo, when I came across this dog poking his head out of the arcade, looking quite confused and had to take a shot.




This harmonica player was sitting in a patch of sunlight streaming through a grungy window in Central, Hong Kong. I wish I had exposed it slightly better, but I guess it's acceptable.

All of these were taken with my Pentax Spotmatic II on Velvia 100 film.

Makes me warm and fuzzy in my tummy,

The dog one makes me sad.

Why? He's just confused. I kept whistling at him to make him look up, all he wanted was some attention, and when I didn't give him any he got confused like that lol.

I wish I'd got the front of these two, but I was too late. Their shirts had a picture of an ass (donkey) on the front.

Gotta love it when people wear shirts that they clearly don't know the meaning to.

Ils sont idiots.

Beijing.

What if they did know what it meant but wanted to wear it anyway.
