An obscure photography geeky coincidence - do you get it? #filmphotography

I was doing a little research on the Baby Rolleiflex 4x4cm twin lens reflex camera just now and happened to search Flickr for groups. I found the Baby Rollei group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/323288@N25/) easily, and then I noticed something funny. Funny to an obscure film photography geek anyway...

I wonder can you see it.

Hint - look at the number of members in the photos here, not on the Flickr site - the number has changed since I joined.

Halfcamera

My wonderfully creative friend Bill introduced me to another iPhone camera app today, Halfcamera. This app imitates the concept of a half-frame camera, even to the extent of saving images on a virtual film strip. adjacent images can be combined into diptychs. You can even include a bit of text between the images. It has a bunch of effects too, mostly garish. I like the concept of the diptych output, but the clunky workflow takes a bit of getting used to. It'd also be nice not to be confined to using adjacent pictures. A fun app despite its peculiarities.

And of course to try it out, my ukuleles always make willing models.

Maralinga - Paul Kelly

This is a rainy land
this is a rainy land
no thunder in our sky
no trees stretching high
but this is a rainy land

My name is Yami Lester
I hear I talk I touch but I am blind
my story comes from darkness
listen to my story now unwind
this is a rainy land

First we heard two big bangs
we thought it was the great snake digging holes
Then we saw the big cloud
then the big black mist began to roll
this is a rainy land

A strangeness on our skin
a soreness in our eyes like weeping fire
a pox upon our skin
a boulder on our backs all our lives
this is a rainy land

this is a rainy land
no thunder in our sky
no trees stretching high
but this is a rainy land

My name is Millipuddy
they captured me and roughly washed me down
then my child stopped kicking
then they took away my man to town
they said do you speak English?
he said
I know that Jesus loves me I know
because the bible tells me so
I know that Jesus loves me I know
because the bible tells me so

This is a rainy land
this is a rainy land
no thunder in our sky
no trees stretching high
but this is a rainy land
