Retro Pin Up Photography is my business, cameras and the art of creative photography is my passion and my life....
A young girl discovers the magic of Photography and becomes another commited Leicaphile
(Leica Camera sales brochure ca. 1946/47)
.
....and now Ladies and Gentlemen it's time for some CAMERA PORN
Here's a very rare 1945 Leica IIIC K "Grey"
Kugellager "Ball Bearing"
shutter camera together with some issues of Leica Photography Magazine from 1949
and here's another very rare and amazing camera
a 1946 Leica IIIC
"Half Race"
bearing shutter camera with an equally as amazing Canon f1.5 50mm lens.....this camera and lens takes UNREAL photos - stay tuned to a WHOLE FOLDER just filled with my Real Film photos using this camera/lens combo coming soon!
.
Music
and once upon a time long ago and far far away.......there was a jukebox machine called a Scoptitone it played 16mm film and a record soundtrack simultaneously.......
The enchanting Ellen & Alice Kessler
aka The Kessler Sisters
with "Quando Quando (sag mir wann)"
from 1962
(this is in my opinion quite possibly the most famous and best of all the Scoptitone film)
Originally from France Scoptitone's also invaded the UK and American markets, with many crazy often *risque* 16mm films of scantly clad women dancing to the popular hits of Europe and American songs of the early to late 1960's ~ The Scoptitone's popularity died out in the early 1970's and most of the machines were scrapped.....they are now highly sought after and very expensive collectors items.
....and note Scoptitone's predated MTV and music videos by almost 30 years!
.
This song was in the charts for 21 weeks at number one in Germany in 1963........
Gitte Haenning
with
"Ich will 'nen Cowboy als Mann"
LIVE
on German TV in 1963
.
They were and still are the
GREATEST
Rock N' Roll band ever!
The Beatles
....in this section from the BBC TV Show
"The Music Of Lennon & McCartney"
(which aired in England in December 1965)
This part features the classical "She Loves You / I'll Get You" Medley from
Fritz Spiegel's Ensemble
and
"Day Tripper" which was just released in the UK as a single
Yes, sadly their performance is Lip Synched, but watch the entire section of this film, from the start onwards....while the A-Line Sleeveless Fashion dresses, heels and glasses of the "Posh Birds" is to die for, and at 2:00 watch the AMAZING live TV camera work on the Mary Quaint Dressed GoGo Girls, the video is worth watching JUST for that!!!!!
(I swear that Richard Lester's movie"THE KNACK"either got the girls style from this show or the show stole the idea from the movie....but everyone who's from England knows what I'm talking about *wink*)
Movies
Here's the end of one of my favorite movies of all time.......
René Clément's 1960 Masterpiece
"Plein soleil" aka "Purple Noon"
Starring Alain Delon and Marie Laforêt
based on Patrica Highsmith's novel
"The Talented Mr. Ripley"
Alain Delon makes for the perfect Tom Ripley....and the beautiful soundtrack is from Nino Rota who later wrote the soundtrack to the movie....
"The Godfather"
Television
....It's quite possibly the GREATEST TV SHOW ever made!
The Prisoner
with Patrick McGoohan
from 1967 & 68 (OMG! listen to that motor in that Lotus 7 ......*SWOON*..... What a fantastic show!) .
Linda Thorson on The Avengers.....need I say more?

My work is all about Retro, I'm still a photographer of the old school and very proud of it
I work in REAL FILM and LIMITED DIGITAL work using LEICA, CANON and SONY equipment
I..ve been a photographer since 1994, where I started in Germany shooting 1950..s retro styles based on the few books I could find from Bettie Page, while I was living over there, moved back to the states in 1996 (Florida) and have been shooting here since........
I love retro and I..m very passionate about my work and the people who work and share this love of retro with me, I love old movies, books dealing with art/pinup/photography/history etc. I love vintage cameras and collecting, (Leica, Rolleiflex and Minox)

A was walking through Wiregrass (outdoor mall) tonight and walked by an in-perfect-condition, candy apple red GTO from mid to late 60s. Another car that strikes my fancy --- 1968 Firebird.
hey tom. I gave someone your number for the shoot. it's my makeup artist..said later in life she wants to be a lingerie model and whatnot. said she call/text =]
I love sexy Christmas greetings! That photo is incredible! I hope you had a nice holiday. I can honestly say this is the first year I'm completely okay with Christmas being over. New baby+last minute Christmas shopping=large amounts of stress.
