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.

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

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

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.

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…

I recently had the pleasure of photographing an old friend, Robert, who is a personal trainer in Prescott, Ariz. He is breaking into the world of fitness modeling and competition and as such needed some shots for his portfolio. I put down several hundred frames on my trusty digital Nikon, but couldn’t resist a little time with the Hasselblad. Hit the link for more… Continue reading
