Description
Hi gang :) We had a beautiful day here in Seattle, and just used 2 old cameras again at Gas Works Park. I used both a Kodak 1A Autographic Jr. circa 1920 (used 122 film), and the big 3A Autographic circa 1917 using 130 film with my 120 film adapters. Several shots were from this angle of this particular pump, and can't wait for the B&W scans.
This is a reference shot using my Nikon that displays how much color (though I desaturated a bit) the park designers had added to the pipes and such. I'm also curious of the Kangi character on that red access door! Shall be interesting how the T-max film and those old lenses handle the amount of lighting differences, as seen by the natural ghosting in the background window openings.
All the best for a new week!

As a modern engineer this both fascinates and horrifies me. Wonderful old machinery on the one hand, where is the safety protection on the other - yikes!

Lol tommorules! Yikes indeed. This was a plant that had opened in 1909 that used boilers to heat coal and coke, that then went to condensers where the gases were collected then pumped to "light the city". I'm sure that there had to be some problem situations there for workers and close neighbors alike. I have yet to see any of these reports, but perhaps worth digging into a bit further. Just the nature of the process, and the lack of safety precautions in that era had to have meant trouble. Kurt

Love the tad desaturated colors. A strong light coming from outside and hitting this old machine is amazing.
