Time-Travel Photography

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a very special event here in the Bay Area. The Art Deco Society of California hosted their annual Gatsby Picnic in San Jose, and it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever photographed. Over 500 people in time-period clothing with antiques everywhere, cars, and all taking place in a historic block of buildings.

I photographed this event on my Leica M11P Safari, the Hasselblad 500CM, and a Linhof 4x5 camera. On the Leica I used the 35mm Summilux Steel Rim and the 50mm Summitar. On the Hasselblad I used the 50mm Distagon with Kodak TMAX400. On the Linhof I used the 50mm APO-Symmar and Ilford FP4. Below is a mix of the photos.
