I've been wanting to take film pictures of my cats for a long time, but the old box cameras I've mostly been using focus at 10', so I couldn't really take proper portraits of them. I got a snap-on close-up lens for the #Duaflex, and with that, the focus is at 3', which is just about right. That's how I took the first two pictures. The second pair are from a #Voigtländer bellows camera, my first "respectable" #MediumFormat camera, which lets you focus and adjust speed and aperture.
You *can* make that kind of adjustments on box cameras, thought it's pretty primitive--though I kind of like that.
The Duaflex pictures were color-adjusted with #Irfanview (they are probably underexposed), the Voigtländer pictures didn't need anything.

Another camera from my Dad's collection. Not the best or rarest or most valuable. But I like it and will try taking some pictures. One tiny light leak in the bellows that I think I can fix (I have "liquid electrical tape"). It's a Voigländer Bessa 66.

A question for #filmphotography / #filmisnotdead folks: what is that dial and how do I use it. Doesn't seem to actually set anything, so I guess it's a kind of calculator?

Nifty little bellows camera
Mysterious dial.

@Billthoo Well, this is just a backup. When I drop off my roll of respooled-to-620 film, I plan to take a red sharpie to write "PLEASE RETURN SPOOL" on the envelope. These guys are cool and seem to think what I'm doing is interesting, so that'll probably be enough.
I see a lot of 3d printing projects for loading 35mm film into old box cameras, so if you want to try that, you'd definitely want to look into 3d printing (although I'm sure someone would sell you one somewhere, off of their 3d printing run, for an amount of money that's annoying large for hunk of plastic!).
There's plenty of vintage cameras that use #120film and you can just buy that, and use it as intended, without it turning into a big modding adventure.

Yu Yoaopeng portrait painter
I met this master of his art in NewYork at the time square,
I captured him painting a beautiful woman and afterwards I captured his portrait at a very late hour.
After that he painted me. It was like time froze around us. Garbage trucks came and wanted us to leave, but he kept painting and I kept sitting until early hours.
At some point it was just us. I will never forget this moments and the portrait he did of me. He didn't want me to pay and sadly I was not able to give him his portrait.
