Evening ghosts

Durand Eastman Park. Took the Welta Weltur out last Wednesday for the first time in nearly four years.

Durand Eastman Park. Took the Welta Weltur out last Wednesday for the first time in nearly four years. I love this camera. Dad gave it to me when they broke up housekeeping in 2009. It’s the camera that got me back into film.

I am a photographer, walker, and sometime paddler, a theologically-educated geek living in Rochester, NY. Once upon a time I was an Army helicopter jockey in Alaska.

I started with film, switched to digital, then went back to classic film cameras.

With major back surgery in August 2019 and bunion repair in January 2020 now behind me, I am gearing up to start Appalachian Trail NOBO in June, 2021 to celebrate my seventy-first birthday. Blogging for The Trek.
