Richard Vanek - Black and White Photography

So after some time I have made my mail link alive again. So from today you can contact me using form on my web page under mail text in heading of each page.
I am bit worried about spam it will generate, but let's see first. If it will do any bad I will add some more spam protection. For now it is very easy you can send me a comment and you need to specify your name and text to me. Only in case you like to have some answer from me you can specify your email address.

Friend of mine borrowed my 6x6 camera to try some different look at world. I must say I really like that old machine. I am having some problems to understand handling, but hopefully it will be over today. I think I understood order of operations and certain right approach to old mechanic. I am using same Fomapan 200 film in it, doing some late evening portraits. I think some part of the film will be ruined, but hopefully I will get two or three shots technically correct. About artistic level I do not know, but we should see. I try to use very shallow depth of sharpness with focus only on eyes and let background unevenly lighted by late evening Sun fall out of focus.
