Mamiya 645 100s with Ilford FP4 Film

Mamiya 645 100s with Ilford FP4 Film

On The Road

April 18, 2018 in Black and White Film, Street Photography

I've been using a bit of down time before the real estate market ramps up for the spring to head out on the road with my camera and expose a few rolls of film. I know photographs from the road aren't quite as exciting as most of my work, but hey, I like it for purely sentimental reasons.

This photograph was made just south of Ashland Oregon while I was gassing up the car. I had my Mamiya 645 1000s sitting on the front seat of the car loaded with with only a few frames left of Ilford FP4 film. I kind of liked the lonely RV sitting in the lot next to the gas station and of course the epic sky.

A little bit of infrared film on a bright and sunny day. I need to use infrared film stock more often. When the results turn out well it is quite satisfying.

Working with film in a dense forest on a bright sunny day is always a bit tough. The tonal values go to the extremes very quickly with bright highlights and deep dark shadows making finding a middle ground a challenge. I think it is worth the effort
A portrait with @hexy.lexi. It was a perfect overcast day for outdoor portraits, something I appreciate about winter and fall here in the Pacific Northwest.

Some photographs from the No Kings protest on Saturday. Not surprisingly Portland came out in force for the day, which warmed my cynical heart just a tad. I know I live in a political bubble in this town, but after traveling the country the last coup

Getting through my massive backlog of unscanned, undeveloped, and unedited images. I've been feeling overwhelmed by it lately.

Ugggh, I really hate heat waves. I'm just not a person built for hot weather. But alas, I know others thrive on it and for those people I have nothing but envy. Looking at the weather I see that it is going to swing down about twenty degrees by the e

I'm in the mood to load up a camera with film and go on a walk. But alas.... it is only Tuesday and that means going to work instead. Boooo!!!

This one goes back many years even though I just developed it yesterday. Sometimes having an enormous backlog of film I have yet to develop can bring back interesting moments in time. 

I don't even think Instagram existed when I made this photograph
I've been working on a lot of 4x5 film lately which has been an incredibly solitary experience. This is not a bad thing mind you. Sometimes it helps to learn and to grow when diving into a new-ish medium on your own, make a lot of mistakes, and try t

Well, I had originally posted a different image for today but Instagram removed it within about a minute, so instead the world is going to get some empty footprints on the beach.
