Photographed with a Hasselblad 500c/m and Fomapan 100 speed film.

Warrior Rock with the Hasselblad 500c/m

March 02, 2020 in Black and White Film, Nudes, Photo Sessions

I’ve been incredibly busy lately with regular life stuff. That sadly means a little bit less time for photography which I guess we can all just dismiss as “adulting”.

I made this photograph toward the end of 2019 on a very cold and windy day when I was hoping for just a bit more summer weather before fall kicked in. Behind the model you can see the shapes of a rather cute and petite lighthouse located on the north end of Sauvie Island. I didn’t have a wide angle lens with me (what was I thinking!!?) but I still like the way the structure in the background sort of overpowers the entire frame.

Over the coming weeks I hope to get back on track with a few photo shoots and some focused work on getting images edited and film developed. Until then, enjoy this short little post and stay warm!

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

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.
