These pictures were taken with my TLR camera at Mount Ruffner near Birmingham, Alabama; this time, they are brought to you in amazing Technicolor! It was a cloudy day, but they ended up turning out well even without much sunlight, if I do say so myself. Also, this was my first time capturing candids of people on film.

On November 3, I participated in the Bob Smith Memorial Car Show in Jackson, AL. Bob Smith was my grandfather, and my family are the ones who put on the car show every year. This year I was the “photographer/videographer,” so to speak. While I mostly filmed the cars and the awards ceremony on a video camera, I was also able to get still shots of many of the cars. Here are some of my favorites.
Sears Tower Twin-Lens Reflex
Believe it or not, Instagram was not the first innovator in square-format images. This is a Twin-Lens Reflex camera that I stumbled upon in a junk/antique/curio store here in Birmingham. It’s a Sears Tower 30, which is actually a re-branded German camera called a Photina Reflex, made by Photavit. It was made from 1955 to 1959 and uses a type of film called 120mm, which produces square, 6in x 6in photographs. The pictures from French Lick in the previous post were all taken with this camera. It is my favorite film camera that I own so far; more to come!
