Hello Hasselblad

I'm taking a color film photography course this summer and decided to experiment with a hasselblad -- I had heard so much about these guys and thought it would a good time to play with this format.

It feels so good to have it in your hands and then manually roll the film back. For my project I took a series of portraits of the hub. Here are a few..

what a wonderful day.

Lovely photos. I've been wanting to borrow/ rent a Hasselblad since it will be awhile till I can afford to purchase one. *sigh*

Thanks so the advantages of being in school....I have the opportunity to rent photo equipment -- so nope, I didn't purchase the hasselblad....just checked it out for a couple of days.

I've been thinking about one of those - where did you get yours?

Ahh...just saw you checked it out...lucky duck! I miss design school checkouts!

You're lucky to be able to do that. I can't even find anywhere in my town that rents them out. Lovely shots. :)
