Yashica Mat, f/5.6, 1/125, Fuji Neopan 100 ISO – 120mm film.
I shot this portrait during my visit to Goa in the November of 2009. At about 6 ‘o clock in the evening, he was on his way home after a hard day in the seas, fishing. He reminds me of a gentleman I’d shot in Maharashtra, half a decade ago. I see many similarities in indigenous people from the west coast of India.
Canon AE-1P, f/1.8, 1/60, Kodak T400CN – 35mm film.
I bought a Yashica Mat TLR camera having a Yashinon 80mm viewing lens +Yashinon 80mm 3.5 taking lens last evening, the 30th of September, 2009.
I found a manual online.
I’d have blasted a dozen rolls by now except that 120mm film is completely out of stock. Rajubhai has assured me that he’ll get me some in a weeks time.
The Yashica Mat isn’t equipped with an in-built light meter. So it’ll take me a roll or two to get the hang of it. If the camera functions as it must, these could be exciting times ahead.
