underground sunflower field by fotobes on Flickr.

This is the second image from a new project, with hodachrome (he is a genius with an LC-A so check him out!). This film swap was based around the “EBS” technique (exposed both sides): we shot a roll of film on the “normal” side, and when finished the film was then reversed and rewound, so that the second exposure was shot on the reverse side. When shooting on the reverse side, the image is “red-scaled” - all colours become shades of red. With this first roll, hodachrome shot a gorgeous sunflower garden in his hometown Ena, Gifu, then I shot on the “redscale” side inLondon (UK), an underground tunnel looking down some stairs, at Embankment Station. With this shot I like the clear mix of normal and red-scale colour.

Paradise Lost (part 2) by fotobes on Flickr.

This is the second image from a new project, with hodachrome (he is a genius with an LC-A so check him out!). This film swap was based around the “EBS” technique (exposed both sides): we shot a roll of film on the “normal” side, and when finished the film was finished it was then reversed and rewound, so that the second exposure was shot on the “wrong” side. When shooting on the reverse side, the image is “red-scaled” - all colours become shades of red. With this first roll, hodachrome shot Yokkaichi Industrial Complex in Mie, one of the biggest industrial area in Japan, then I shot on the “redscale” side in Brighton (UK), The Palace Pavilion. With this shot I like the clear mix of normal and red-scale colour. It’s similar to one that Hodaka has already uploaded, but I really love them both!

This combination photograph shows Yuko Sugimoto wrapped with a blanket standing in front of debris looking for her son in the tsunami-hit town of Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture on March 13, 2011 and the same housewife standing with her five-year-old son Raito at the same place on January 27, 2012. March 11, 2012 will mark the first anniversary of the massive tsunami that pummelled Japan, claiming more than 19,000 lives.

Evacuation drills are common in Japan’s earthquake zones. So when the real thing happened in March, the children knew what to do - and expected to return in a few days. Months have gone by since the students fled. Still sitting in the classroom cubbies are the leather book bags that can cost several hundred dollars apiece and are one of a Japanese child’s most valuable and cherished possessions. They will likely never be reclaimed. (© David Guttenfelder/National Geographic) (via Fukushima: Inside the Exclusion Zone - Alan Taylor - In Focus - The Atlantic)
