Metropolis

Starting out a weekend of new stuff, some man-made metal monuments.

Stay tuned all weekend for updates, new stuff and slightly less new that has never been seen (like the above images)…These were shot on the Vivitar 35ca.

Just Another Stranger Portrait

While shooting the monthly Visual Collective Free PhotoBooth, I captured a quick portrait of this gentleman. He was standing in our backdrop but didn’t realize it, so I ditched the pocket wizard, opened up to f/3ish and grabbed some nice light provided by open shade.

Big Fat Window Light

Two quick portraits of my friends, Blake (above) and Willie (below). Willie has some great big windows in his living-room with a translucent curtains. The only way to describe the effect they give is big-fat-window-light. There is one set camera left, and another across the room camera right from behind the subject, which gives just a touch of a highlight and helps the background.

Check out some more examples of b.f.w.l. here and the first two images here.

Traffic Boosting Goat…

Following the success of last weeks traffic boosting cat photo. Here is another try, a traffic boosting goat. Enjoy…

Oregon,Tolerant Oregon.

Quick post of an image I captured of the Salem Conference Center while visiting Salem, Oregon a few weeks ago. Shot on the Vivitar 35ca with Ilford Pan F+

tvC::Photo Walk::May 2012

This afternoon, as is our last Sunday tradition, The Visual Collective had some lunch and took a little photo-centric stroll. This month there was an art show at Wheeler Park in downtown Flagstaff. Everything from photos, to painting of all kinds, hand-made soaps, knives and everything in between.

As I am prone to doing, I took some ‘street portraits’. Above is Ed Wzientek, who crafts hand-made knives out of everything from rail-road spikes to old metal files. Hit the link for more from this great afternoon… Continue reading

Fitness Preview pt. Deux

In recent times, I have been interested in shooting figure details similar to this. You can see more here… I have bigger plans for these negatives, but that project is going to take quite some time. Until then, I will share some of the images I get along the way. Hit the link to see some more… Continue reading

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

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…
