George Eastman House, Rochester, NY

This page is also to share the pictures I used Leica R to take first time. First, thank Ricky to borrow me Leica R.
本篇也算是分享第一次用 Leica R 拍的照片，先感謝 Ricky 兄大方出借經典 R 機放毒。

There were some purposes for my travelling to Rochester. One was to meet Ricky, and another was to see University of Rochester, and the other was to make a pilgrimage to George Eastman House. It's a pity that I could not buy EKTAR in Boston. Thus, I used Fuji Extra400 and Ilford XP2 super to take this memorial house, as was disrespectful. Therefore, when visiting Fuji Square, Tokyo, half year later, I used EKTAR to take pictures.
特地跑到上州的 Rochester，除了拜訪 Ricky 兄，看看 Rodney 的母校（這我應該是申請不上了），另一個就是到 George Eastman House 朝聖了。可惜的是，當時在 Boston 沒機會買到 EKTAR，結果用了 Fuji Extra400 與 Ilford XP2 Super 來拍 George Eastman House，真是大不敬。所以，半年後到東京的 Fuji Square 時，就改用 EKTAR 來拍了。

Compared to mensions in Rohde Island, George Eastman House is not large. Therefore, for enthusiasts for film photograpy, the standing of Georgoe Eastman House is so high that the other buildings are hard to compare with.
相比於 Rohde Island 的那些大豪宅，George Eastman House 並不大。然而，這棟房子對於底片攝影愛好者而言，其地位之崇高是其他建築很難相比的。

The exhibition in North Gallery was camaras from the technology collection. The right side by the entrance showed Leica M6 and Kodak Flim with Leica M8 by contrast. From the cameras for Daguerreotype to digital cameras, it showed all of them. Camaras I own, like Leica M, Hasselblad 500 series, Polarid SX-70, were certainly included. It displayed some classic camera only seen in books or magazines. All epoch cameras, including Japanese Camaras, were shown. I stayed in George Eastman House more than half day. Most than half time was spent in the small room. Similarily, it's a pity that all the pictures I took here are gone with the death of the HD.
北展覽室的展覽是隨著科技演進的相機。門口右邊放的是 Leica M6 + Kodak 底片，加上 M8 做一個對比；至於左邊好像是天價 Linhof？我記不太起來了。裡面的展覽則是從銀版設影用的相機到數位相機都有。手裡有的 Leica M, 哈蘇 500 系列, Polaroid SX-70 肯定是在列的。一堆只有在書上看得到的經典名機，全都在這個小小的展示間看見了。包含日本的名機，劃時代的相機們，也全部在列。在 George Eastman House 待了超過半天的時間，超過一半都花費在這間只比十坪多一些的小房間。可惜的仍然是，當初在這裡拍的照片都隨著硬碟而消失。

Of course, the mension itself is another importanct purpose for most people. In contrast to those photos and camares, the mension didn't interest me so much,
當然，豪宅本身也是多數人來此參觀的一個重要目的，只是我對於這個豪宅的興趣就沒那麼大了。

Rocking chairs on the porch. Had Eastman ever sit here and seen the sunset?
前廊的搖椅，不知道當年 Eastman 是否也曾在這坐看夕陽呢？
