52@52 Week 13
We moved to a new office at the beginning of October. We moved from Times Square to Soho. The office is in a little piece of Soho that feels like a bit of midtown dropped into the middle of the coolest neighborhoods in North America. But at least with a short walk, you can be in either Real Soho or the West Village. I took the Rolleiflex out for a walk at lunch time through the West Village.
The camera needs to be fixed. While I was out, I noticed that a screw came out of the body, meaning that one of the rails that holds the back in place and provides a place for my neck strap to connect is loose. I can’t count on the camera not to fall. It made for an unsettling lunch out with the camera.
I shot this with old formula Tri-X (code TX, which was 400 speed, as opposed to TXP, the 320 speed version of Tri-X) that expired back in 2003. It was frozen since it was bought, according to the professional photographer I bought it from on eBay. I’ve seen nothing to disabuse me of that idea since I started shooting it. I bought 20 rolls and have shot at least 10 of them. I love this film. Now I just wish I was shooting better pictures with it.
With this shot, I am now one quarter through this project. 13 down, 39 to go.
