Yes, dear

I’ve been on the road so much of late, haven’t made much time for this blog. I hope to get you caught up soon, but for now, here is a picture I made looking out the window of my girlfriend’s apartment in Columbia Missouri.

Central Ventana

I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t had much time to update this blog. Lots of work of late, a blessing. For now, here is a photo from tonight, made with my new Panasonic GF-1, a great new addition to my camera family. More on that soon. Here a waitress cleaning tables as Route 66 / Central Ave. is reflected in the dirty window. I love having a little camera that can capture that kind of detail in that kind of light.

Why did the deer cross the road?

Deer crossing the road in northern NM townI don’t know, guess the grass was greener, but I’m glad my clicking just a few feet away with a 45mm didn’t disturb them much.

Happy birthday America, adios Hector

Hector Mediavilla, center, is a photographer from Barcelona Spain, who spent the past few weeks traveling around the southwestern USA and Mexico after sharing his work at Review Santa Fe. July 4th was his last night in the states before flying home, so we made a picture to mark the occasion, a five second exposure using sparklers to do the light writing. Jakob Schiller is on the left, and that’s me on the right.

A digital tribute to film

I spent a day this week back in the darkroom getting ready for the Holga workshop I’m teaching with Roberto Rosales in July. I felt compelled to shoot some details around the darkroom with my 5D while we developed the film. If you are a digital photographer and never spent much time working in the glow of the red light, then you may not appreciate the images. If that is the case, you don’t know what you are missing, and you should really take the workshop.
