Repairing the Yashica TLR

When I was down at Hobart last year, I had the opportunity to catch up with my friend Karl, who develop films, create darkroom prints and repair cameras. Days before I made my trip down to Hobart I called him and asked about repairing my Yashica, and luck was on my side: he just repaired his Yashica TLR as well and still had the toolings with him, so he was able to do mine. I visited his house days later, and trusted him with my diseased Yashica. The problem was ~~cataracts~~ lens fogging, as you may have noticed from my previous posts. Not missing an opportunity like this, I flashed out my Olympus and started documenting the process.

1. Sketchings.

2. Tools.

3. Removing the front element.

5. Operating table.

6. Removing the rear element.

7. The eye.

This is Life (XI)

I'm heading towards Cradle Mountain again, for the 4th time in my life. Hope the weather will be dramatic! The weather forecast says fog in the morning and rain in the evening.. sounds like a great black and white landscape shootout to me! Fingers crossed.

3. The view from the hill.

4. Inside the church.

After chilling out at Ochado, we decided to walk up the hill to St. Paul's church. Actually, I made the decision, and dragged her along. Well it's only a very short & easy walk...

I missed that photo opportunity in photo no. 7. Oh that heartbreaking feeling of missing a shot...

On a side note, I am currently itching to shoot. I haven't been shooting for a long time already, my cameras are slowly collecting dust. Hopefully not growing mould yet. But now, every fibre in my body wants to shoot, my mind is constantly telling me to grab my camera, go out, and take photos...

I've been watching the art of photography's podcast again recently, and I must say that Ted Forbes really is an amazing, informative, passionate presenter. I very strongly recommend his videos to anyone who loves photography. He doesn't/ seldom talk about gears and pixels, but instead focuses on issues that really matter in photography like studying composition and other master's works. His recent talk about composition and colour theory really got me thinking and I'm itching to experiment and put these thoughts into practice.

On the other hand, I've came across a few incredibly good Japanese photographers recently. Nope they're not the famous ones like Moriyama or Araki, but their photos are inspiring. The combination of high key, low contrast, square format and minimalism really clicks with me. The photos are bright, uplifting, and wonderful. They photograph objects and people of their daily life, like their visual diary. Also, something about the square format that really attracts me. Is it the balance? or something else? I don't know. All I know is, I love square format. And these amazing poeple's photos. (Check out the links at the sidebar, I've linked every single amazing photographer that I've came across)
