Instant(ish) Gratification and Solarization

Yesterday afternoon, I took a little walk with my Speed Graphic 4×5 camera and some Polaroid type 55 film. I have never had any luck with it, but felt like this was my day, and in many ways it was (i actually got some images). Hit the link to see and read more… Continue reading

It’s All In The Details

As the name of this post might imply, the following are a series of detail shots taken recently at a British car rally in Prescott, Ariz. All are shot in the Mamiya RB67 with either FujiChrome Provia or Fuji Acros 100. I’m not sure of what each car is, so if you know tell me in the comments… Continue reading

Mamiya RB67

Back for an almost unprecedented second post in one day. This time to share a shot from my other new friend, the Mamiya RB67. I have put several rolls through this bad-boy, some of which you have seen here. After two weeks, I finally got my FujiChrome back from the lab (more to come tomorrow). In the mean time enjoy this detail of a stand up bass some one had in downtown Prescott a few weeks ago.

Vivitar 35ca

Just a quick post to show an image from the first roll out of my Vivitar 35ca, a nice little rangefinder I have had for some time, but have not shot with. I have wanted something a little smaller and more inconspicuous for my carry around camera, and a rangefinder seemed like the perfect solution. This is shot on Kodak T-Max 100, pushed to 400. In the photo is Aaron working the kitchen line at Macy’s Coffee Shop. More to come in the nearish future…

Electric Kingdom::May 2012

Another month has flown by and it is once again time to share my photos from Electric Kingdom. Head on over to the Facebook Page Here and check out all the action…

First Frame

Another quick post,  somewhat similar to my last post, but oh so different…While the lighting is the same, the model is different; and perhaps more importantly the camera is new. This is the first frame I shot on my new (at least to me) Mamiya RB67 Pro-SD. Super excited to explore the possibilities with this new piece of gear. Gotta love the 6×7 negative and 180mm lens. Shot on Fuji Acros with three ProFoto D1 heads.

Back in Black White

Just another quick post…I was in the studio the other day and helping this person with lights, cameras, meters etc. I had her stand in for a minute so I could put a frame or two down on the Hasselblad with the digital back attached. A while back I posted about trying to get away from high-key stuff . And I have to some extent; however, like any addict I just can’t stay away for too long…

Macro Moments

Just a quickie today. I like to shoot flies when I can, it is challenging and also could have other artistic implications if you are prone to giving meaning to things like that.

I got this guy to cooperate for a few frames before he flew off. Shot on my desk with a piece of paper,  a 55mm macro lens and a small cheap ring flash. Not too bad for 30 min work.

Pectoral Popping Personal Pundit

A few weeks ago I posted a few preview images from a shoot I did with Prescott, Ariz. based personal trainer, Robert Altmanshofer. While the images have been finished for a while, I am just getting around to posting about it. Hit the link to see some more and get the behind the scenes scoop… Continue reading

Assisting In Sedona

Sunday I had the pleasure of assisting Brad Wilson, a commercial and fine art photographer based in New York and Santa Fe on a magazine shoot in Sedona, Ariz. Hit the link for some behind the scenes stuff… Continue reading
