Cesar Invited Me To A Low Rider Show – Part 5: FUJIFILM GA645 + Cinestill 50D.

Subtitle: A tale of two Fujifilm cameras.

To start us off let me state that Cesar is that dude.

Good people and he walks what he talks.

Exhibit A:
When I had my first photography show, he reached out on social media and said he was attending… and he attended.

As did representatives of my brothers from 100 Men In Black Male Chorus.

Now look… I do not fault nor do I hold grudges regarding those that do not respond, attned, or support when asked whether family and friend. Would it be nice? Yes. But no one owes me a thing. That is exactly why those that think it not robbery to show up and support a brother hold a special place as far as I am concerned.

Back to the task at hand. The low rider show. Another note. Not only does Cesar show up but he reaches out. For whatever reason I seem unable to stay on top of events no matter how I try. I typically find out as thiings are going iin or even after the fact. So I will ask those in the know and once again Cesar is the only one that does. Other family and friends have not, and once again I hold no grudges. But I appreciate Cesar the more. There was a photo walk Cesar and I went on.

A Photo Walk w/ Cesar Part 1: Vintage Digital MFT Bender.

Chris Facey is another real one and we met up for a photo walk.

Vintage Digital: A Photo Walk w/ Chris Facey… Serendipity… And A Minor Gear Epiphany.

There was another low rider show Cesar told me about.

One Car Show, Two Focus Solutions: Rangefinder vs. Modern AF.

There was a march in Durham.

Analog Therapy/A Protest/Skipping A Superbowl: Rollei 35AF + 2 Films.

I have also received much support from folks I met online far and near, but it’s also nice to have local folks you can meet up with in real-time. And now back to the subject of this day.

This here post is about the analog half of the photo above.

This Old Camera: Fujifilm GA645. May Answer My “One Camera” Question.

An unqualified analog hit around these parts. How much so and why? Welp.

Have put more film through it than not only the prior top of my analof medium format food chain, but nearly any other film camera I have ever owned regardless of format including 35mm.
New on the list is I just realized that this camera fit in my cargo pants pocket… What? That is nuts. Never tried it until this day and it just fit. Nuts.
Just about never misses focus or exposure. A bona fide medium format point and shoot film camera.
I could go on but I will end it by stating that that this camera is still in my possesion and the other camera was traded to acquire this cameras new digital dance partner.
