Bill Smith's Photography

 Been a while since I used my Mamiya C220F, a great stripped down Twin Lens Reflex camera compared to the 330F and uses the same lens system. On a bright early summer's day I loaded up some Catlabs X Film 80 because that film loves bright contrasty sunshine. The creamy rendering from Mamiya Sekor glass is something else.  Camera: Mamiya C220F Twin Lens Reflex Camera. Sekor 80 F2.8 lens, Sekor 55 F4.5 lens.  Film: Catlabs X Film 80, Ilfotec HC 1+31. 

 One big massive picture dump, and part of a zine project called Headwaters referencing the Headwaters of the Credit River which covers Peel, Wellington and Halton Regions. With this project I'm using a couple of cameras most likely an Olympus OM body for 35mm colour work and my Mamiya C220f with the 120 black and white.  This region being part of the GTA Greenbelt which is under great threat from a six lane highway nobody wants and low density residential and commerical development. While some city and regional councils have strongly voted against Highway 413, other councils are politically on the fence due to firece political lobbying from developers and construction companies who stand to gain exopentially from this development.  The Headwaters Project focuses on the rural and small town landscapes and the long standing recreational facilities in the region focused highlighting what could be lost in the name of progress.  Camera: Mamiya C220f, Sekor lenses.  ...

 Seeing your neighbourhood in a different crop helps you see things differently. I'm still loving the Catlabs X Film 80 goodness.  Camera: Rolleicord Vb, 75 f3.5 Schneider Xenar Lens.   Film: Catlabs X Film 80 HC110 B.
