volcano Oldoinyo Lengai, Tanzania, shot from the air and the ground on film

 

Those large B/W square pictures were shot with a medium format Rolleiflex camera, a vintage beauty initially designed in 1929 though mine is a later 1961 version. But the design harly changed over the decades, a bit like the VW Beetle or the Citroën 2CV. Below are some portraits of an active volcano in the Rift valley called Oldoinyo Lengai.

Not the easiest camera to use, especially for the aerial pictures below while I’m flying at the same time!

 

below are some of my very earlier pictures in Tanzania with the volcano in the background, from 1999 till 2002.
