Two weekends ago I drove up to Asbury Park again to photograph the annual Zombie Walk. I had high hopes for the zombies, but there seemed to be a lot less of them this time around, and for the most part they were pretty tame looking. They clearly need to up their game!
Anyway, I made a few pictures. But now what? Start looking elsewhere to see what’s available. In other words Plan B … the non-zombie bystanders!
I ended making fifteen exposures with my Plaubel Makina. Talked to a few in the crowd and spent a lovely afternoon on the boardwalk overlooking a ocean. Then capped off the day by driving home with the top down!
Sometimes you need to need to find a way(s) to turn lemons into lemonade. Maybe even get some unexpected keepers.
All and all a very nice outing.
Stay well,
Michael
Zombies: Sounds good. Is the Mamiya Press working out? Young Thai man I know is now in Osaka and looking at some. Don’t know if he’ll buy. It’s a cool looking camera but for me while it’s sure a looker it may be too complicated for me. The Zombies of the night I want to snap with flash. A twin lens is probably more my thing as I can look down but also look up. And chat with thoze Zombs. What do you think.?
Paul,
Good to hear from you! Love the Zombs and the Mamiya is great for the applications it works best with. For street I still like my Plaubel better. That having been said, the Mamiya is a great camera and lens system and an absolute steal! Highly recommended!
Best,
Michael
