I really don’t know where to start this post. I have a lot of photos and some of them are from quite some time ago, December 2009 more precisely… Those shots were taken with the Zorki, a camera which I don’t use that often because it suffers from heavy backfocusing, the rangefinder couldn’t be calibrated properly, even though I have been researching about it but nothing seems to work. Anyway, the results are kinda funny…
FIlm is Kodak E100VS, it was intended to be cross processed but I forgot to tell the lab guy to do so… duh…
This is at Portezuelo, a beach near Puerto Vallarta, like an hour and a half away…
The day after at the little town…
and on our way leaving…
mmmm… some more random shots taken at other places…
Andy aka The Office!
…
Andy with Mr. Luis Barragán during Swine Flu times…
Last post I uploaded some photos taken with the rollei, these next were taken at the same place but with the AE-1p
The castle, like many more, is in the top of a mountain. This was taken on our way up…
Already in the castle, everyone wants a picture of course…
take a look at the view…
…
and why not? take a nap aswell…
…
some of the surroundings…
She got a monkey on her back… literally!
…
another view of the castle…
I took this selfportrait inside of the castle… the AE-1P in one hand, the rollei in the other.
Then, like a week or so after that we went to the National Anthropology Museum. I already posted some of the digital photos I took that day, but I just developed film from that day…
That’s the entrance …
Dunno what he was doing with that book…
that’s my father inside the museum…
This is some kind of backyard of the museum with a reconstruction of a Mayan temple…
More surroundings…
He was taking a picture of some Papantla Flyers…
…
yup, they were looking at the Papantla Flyers too…
…
Name all the wrestlers and you get a prize…
Titanic… really made me laugh…
Cute old couple…
Then, another day downtown with some friends, basically just fooling and enjoying…
A replica of the Independence Angel just smaller…
People looking for a job…
…
We stoped for lunch and took this photo there. I like it so much, there’s a lot of stuff happening there, you know, the dude on the phone, the guy looking at the camera, and the kissing couple just behind him…
Taken while having lunch too…
There was a David LaChapelle exhibition at the moment in the city so you could find these all around… I never went to the exhibition, I’m not much of a fan of his work, but still I consider it quite important…
…
The ever famous Salon Corona, nice place to hang out, have some beers and eat snacks…
Don’t remember what they were looking at…
…
Then of with the guys to a couple of gigs…
okay… not those guys… and not that gig…
not these guys either, but that gig…
She’s Ayari, Johnny’s GF… she’s cool… (and she promised me a Pozole but haven’t got it so far ¬¬)
Female band The Wa… didn’t got a chance to hear them that day, we left early…
That was n another gig…. Johnny and Floun backstage…
Ayari again… a little bit shy with the camera sometimes…
Sammy did some haute couture job for Mally’s wardrobe… and took some nice photos of the band playing aswell…
…
There was a family gathering with relatives I’ve never seen before, but anyway, it was fun!
He was the main reason for the gathering… he’s been doing a lot of research on the Family Tree, more than 35 years in the making.
He’s actually a very cool man, there he was explaining to the young dudes the process of making the Family Tree.
My cousin Ana Lucía… no, she wasn’t drinkin… don’t remember why she held that glass…
Andrea holding the newest family member and Regina…
The newest family member… meet Johara…
did a shot with the zorki too… awful focusing, but I’ve already explained that…
My father and my brother…
My aunt Pilla… she’s always busy, she can’t keep steady…
Regina… funny girl… caught her in a silent moment, and believe me, those are rare!!
took this one while they where taking this…
…
Zelda…
think that’s it for now… still got some film left to develop…
cheers!
ps- read the news today and saw this… really made me sad, he was such a big influence and a great innovator of our time… he did more for modern music than MJ (with all due respect) but people don’t know much about him and ignore all that he did, without him the music world wouldn’t be the same…

It was a looong post 😉 I especially love the shot with lingerie hanging on a rope and the one with the guitar-backpack, made me smile 🙂 😀
Comment by Kamil August 25, 2009 @ 3:28 pmif i only knew what happened, the reason would be already destroyed/replaced/disappeared somehow. and i can’t scan it on my own, unfortunately…
and guess what. we bought zorki 4k two months ago, but even it was repared nearly in the same moment as we got it, it still have problems with winding the film. eh… i easily get pesymistic:) very nice set you have here.
Comment by Miss-Maple September 4, 2009 @ 1:07 amyup, I’ve heard a lot of negative comments about zorki cameras, they always have a lot of problems, but I still don’t care, I like shooting with it, you’ll never know what you’re going to get. 🙂
