I’ve just added some canvas print options in my ordering galleries. I love the look of prints on canvas, especially Through the Viewfinder. It’s a great way to turn pictures into wall art. Here’s an example of a couple of portraits that I did, printed on canvas at 20×20 inches and hanging on a client’s wall (obviously taken before Christmas). As always, if you don’t see something in my shop that you’re interested in, just send me a quick e-mail, info(at)adamgrahamphoto.com.
Yesterday and today have been a nice mid-winter gift of warmth. The mantra around here recently has been, “January is almost over. February is short. Our first flowers bloom at the beginning of March.” It’s a bit of a self-deception but we like to mark the beginning of spring with the arrival of our snowdrops. Yesterday felt closer to April with the warm temperature and heavy fog. No complaints from me, I love shooting in the fog. Here are the results:
These are a couple of my first Through the Viewfinder pics with my new bottom cameras. I like the depth that the Voigtlander seems to have but I’m not entirely sold on all the extra angles. I guess it will depend on the subject. It’s nice to have the choice.
Unsurprisingly, the Duaflex seems very similar to the Duaflex IV that I usually shoot with. It has the rounded corners and tendency to blow the highlights really bright.

Yesterday I took some more prints down to the Yarmouth Waterfront Gallery. This is the first year that they’ve been open through the winter and invited me as a guest artist (open on the weekends 10-5). I decided to check out the antique shop upstairs to see if they had a dresser since mine is being taken over by P when he moves into his new room. While looking around I spotted a gorgeous Voigtlander Brillant. It has a really interesting viewfinder that I’m excited to use for some Through the Viewfinder work. I think I may also just try it out to use it with film. I happen to have a fresh roll of 120 film sitting here and it seems to be in mostly working order. I also really liked the sticker with the hand written exposure cheat sheet the was stuck on the side of the camera (it fell off when I got it home).
When he saw I was interested in the Voitlander, the vendor dug out a few other cameras he had packed away. Two more pseudo-TLRs with nice bright viewfinders. One is an startlingly cute original Kodak Duaflex (my main ttv camera has been a Kodak Duaflex IV) and the other is a Kodak Brownie Reflex. The Brownie Reflex needs one little repair in order to get it TtV worthy. I couldn’t believe that I got three at one shop. I also like that they were manufactured in all different places, Germany, Canada, and England. Take a look at the pics and you’ll see why I couldn’t resist getting all three:
This is a winter shot from 2008 to test my new blog layout. I wanted to keep it nice and simple but make it so I could include larger images. Since this is all about photography, I wanted to be able to highlight the pictures more.
