Camera in Motion

This 4X5 instant color photograph was taken moving south on Hamilton Ave from the intersection at Otte Ave.  It's true title is The Avenue H but sometimes I call it "Britni Hey Britni."  Once again the technical information is a wooden Zero Image 75mm 4X5 camera with a Fujifilm 4X5 back.  Fuji FP-100C45 film.  The exposure is f256 @ 25 miles per hour for 1/16 of a mile with Sheri driving her 2001 green Honda CRV.

Photography in Motion

Another color 4X5 taken with a wooden pinhole camera in motion.  I named this one The Wall.  Please look at earlier posts. More photos and more importantly the information about the show and opening reception are there.

October will be a great month for photography in Cincinnati thanks to all of the efforts of

Ballard in Motion

Today's show preview offering is a 4X5 taken on Fuji FP-100C45 instant color film that was not out of date but it has been discontinued.  It was taken with a wooden pinhole camera from the back of a moving automobile.  Sheri was driving.  It is called Library Liberties.

And Another

I call this one All Blues it is another 8X10 Polaroid.  Please read the show and reception announcements in the two previous posts.

Another New Photo

Another 8X10 Polaroid that will be in the show opening September 28th.  This one is called Blue in Green.  All Polaroid 8X10 film is beyond it's recommended use date.  This photo was exposed for twelve minutes or more.  The combination of long exposure and out of date film makes for some interesting color shifts.

Emily Brunner did a great job of designing the website www.ballardborich.com.  After taking a long time to get the right images to do the design justice it is looking as good as it can with it's first three pages of creative content.  There will be more pages for photography and painting and poetry.  Hopefully very soon.    Please take a look.

Thanksgiving

Today I got a call from Sam who was in Central Park. It made me think of how much I enjoy being there. When I went looking for my photos of Central Park on the computer I realized that most of them are on film. There were a few digital ones from the time Rica and I were there a couple of years ago. It is a wonderful place to have coffee and a pastry with a friend. Enough said.
