| I
used a 1946 Argus C3, #37966, on Ilford FP4+ film, developed in H-110e,
5 minutes longer than the chart says, to combat a lack of contrast I've
been seeing lately. Left - 12.21.2018. 6 sec, f/8, Christmas ornament, Portra +3, 3.5':10". (Focused at 3.5', actual distance 10") Right - 12.21.2018. 6 sec, f/16, Angel, Portra +3, 25':12.5". | |

 | Here is an accidental holiday picture. The main subject was the architecture with a Christmas tree that happened to be there. I'm sending it just so you'll have one more entry. Camera is an Argoflex EF. Film is Arista.edu Ultra 400 that was developed in D-76, and scanned on an Epson 4900. |

| The pictures are of Racine’s Town Square I took with an Argus CR4e. It was so cold I lost the feeling in both hands and the camera froze solid. Luckily there was no damage after it thawed. | |

 | All photos taken with an Argoflex EF on Ektar 100 film, respooled onto 620. The first is of someone's nicely decorated front porch, time lapse, I believe f/18, probably 30 seconds. The town of Bridgewater, VA has a display at the edge of town commemorating the Warm Springs turnpike, which once went through the town. They also decorate the horse and wagon at Christmas time. Somehow light leaked in and turned the whole width of my film reddish in a few areas towards the end. The bottom part of the last images was rather red/pinkish, so I took out the red, tweaked it a bit, and turned it to B&W. |

 | The town of Taunton, MA gives itself the nickname "The Christmas City." They have a large display on the town green each year, so I ventured there to photograph the giant Santa statue with my Argoflex 40 (and Argus SLR). This one was taken with the Argoflex 40 on Fuji 400H film. |
