subscribeFrame of Mind, Photography by Paul Cabanis.
Los Angeles feels like the Mid-Century capital of the world. Expressions of Post War optimism, modernism, futurism and a burgeoning mid-century identity don’t just linger on, they flourish. These photographs, shot in 2008, with an Olympus Pen EE (1961) half frame camera and using out of date film, feel particulary appropriate. The merging of dated technology with a hint of an adopted reminiscence combine to deliver this wafting sense of 1960’s cultural nostalgia. And all the more fitting as the Olympus Pen EE was the first camera to introduce automatic exposure; great pictures, guaranteed, with just the push of a button.
A real point and shooter, just like Paul.
