Hi Russ

I split my heart between music and photography.
Today I'm taking pics with digital cameras but my love for the film cameras (120 or 35mm) is still live.My hobby is take pics with my small ucranian Kiev 35A that gives me very interesting results.
I own a very rare camera(Gugo)that I bought as a scrap iron and now seems brandnew.
All cameras are 100% operational, of course.
If you have a HP about this theme, pls give me.

Cheers from Brasil

Hello Chico,

Nice website !!
greetings from your "amigo" Belgica.

Hi Dirk.

I finished now the upload of a song played by our team Bossa in Concert.
I hope that you enjoy it.

Abraço, amigo

Chico, in our business, we don't have a website, a sales force or even a bold listing in the white pages. That's pretty strange for a business that does graphics, websites and photography, but it works for us. Most of our commercial photography, especially product photography, is done with a 4"x5" with a digital back. That's to correct the paralax you get with fixed plane cameras when you're not shooting "straight on". We find we can't straighten out all the distortion/converging lines any other way. PhotoShop correction isn't quite there when you're shooting a parralel shaped object from more than a slight angle.

We still use film in the field sometimes, due to the tremendous memory required, which is not a problem when docked to a PC, but is sometimes more than a laptop can handle with multiple images. It's expensive...for a two frame holder, the film (E-6) is $5.00 and processing is $3.00 a sheet. Then, you have to do the scans. Covers require the equivalent of 20 plus megs.

I think I may have the same 35mm Kiev you have. I also have the Hassy ripoff Kiev system with polaroid backs, film cartridges, etc.

Music (especially bossas) and photography...looks like we have a lot of common interests.

Chico, You music is so beautiful. I am listenig to the songs you wrote and recorded as I write this. they are so fine.
I just mailes the addy of your website to a super nice lady friend of mine in Sao Paulo, so she can also enjoy your music. She was married to a pianist and traveled world wide with him doing concerts for many years.
Best to you and thank you for sharing your life with us

Chico. As fotografias dos estudantes jovens são maravilhosas! Isso que uma vocação agradável. Por muitos anos, como um estudante da música de Brasil eu desfruto todas suas canções. Eu também fui para Belo Horizonte, aproximadamente quarenta anos atrás. Eu vejo ainda está se expandindo ... em todas as direções!
Melhores desejos da Califórnia.
Perdoe meu Portugese áspero.

Hi Scott.

Your opinion is a litle tendentious because you are my SFrancisco buddy

Cheers
Chico
