Broadway and 53rd Street outside the Broadway Theatre Photgrapher: Cherwine

Leica M3 with 50mm Summilux Aspherical and Voigtlander VC Meter II Shooting Kodak Portra 400

We had just left a matinee performance of West Side Story when I spied this dapper photographer waiting outside. His M3 looks brand new. What a timeless treasure of a camera. I have the silver version of this light meter and it’s one of my favorite devices.

Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, NY @dotandlinebk coffee shop

Photographer: Jane @esssssri on Instagram Pentax ME Super with 50mm 1:1.2 Shooting Kodak Color Plus 200

Jane is a traveling photographer from South Korea. She is photographing in New York for a month. I was lucky to run into her when I stopped in this local coffee shop to pick up some coffee! She was recreating a photograph made in this coffee shop that is famous in South Korea. Follow me @davidshootsfilm on Instagram and eventually you’ll see my photograph of her making her photograph.

Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY On the NYC Marathon route! Photographer: Zack Contax G1 with 45mm Planar Shooting Kodak Portra 400

Zack was out and about with a friend during the NYC Marathon, which was going on just behind me as I took this photo. 

I’ve always loved the look and fit and finish of the Contax G rangefinders.

Let us know if you need a strap, Zack - you’re making me anxious!

Millerton, NY Photographer: Kasssandra Pentax K1000 with 50mm 1:2 Shooting CVS 400 color film

Kasssandra was born and raised in the South Bronx, which she offered as an explanation for how her name is spelled in a “fucked up” way. She shoots flowers and portraits of the people in her neighborhood who have lived there for over 30 years.  This camera, with a previous photographer, shot a portrait of Georgia O’Keefe which can be seen in the Georgia O’Keefe Museum. One of my favorite things about this is how Kasssandra fashioned a custom film “bandolier” using electrical tape on the camera strap. Excellent and practical.

Fulton Mall, Brooklyn Photographer: Jeff Minolta CLE with 28mm M-Rokkor 1:2.8 lens (and hood!) Shooting Portra 400 pushed to 800

Lovely lens - I just had mine CLA’d by Youxin Ye. The hood is the problem - they tend to be loose. Mine’s held on with a dab of clear nail polish.

Great strap, too. Jeff said “it came with it,” and that’s a wonderful thing. He gets his color film developed at Accurate Photoshop in South Slope like so many of us.

Charlotte doesn’t know what film is in the camera. It was her father’s, and she just picked it up and started shooting with it.

I was running late for an appointment with my dentist, so no film info!

Flatbush Ave & Pacific St Photographer: Fela Instagram: @felaraymond Vivitar v3800N with 28-80mm macro zoom  Shooting Fujifilm Superia 800 Fela was doing a quick photo shoot with a friend. He said if I had caught him a little earlier, he would have had a gold Contax T2 with him! Also, I just now noticed the dope Keith Haring camera strap.

Park Slope, Brooklyn Photographer: Brooke Fujifilm QuickSnap disposable film camera (presumably shooting Superia X-TRA 400 film)

On a corner in my neighborhood is a lot where a Chinese restaurant burned down many years ago. There is a plywood fence around the lot, and inside, along the perimeter, someone planted sunflowers. Brooke was using up her last frames on this camera shooting the sunflowers towering above the fence. 

She usually shoots with two other film cameras: a Canon Rebel, and an Olympus point-and-shoot.

Prospect Park Photographer: Josh Kim Fuji G617 Shooting expired Fujifilm Pro 800Z and fresh Kodak Portra 800

I’d seen Josh in the park the last couple of days during the morning off-leash hours, using this panoramic beast on a monopod. Especially now that it’s warm out, the park is swarming with dogs in the morning. I’d love to see his photographs of the scene.
