Two With The Panon Widelux F8
Two photographs made with the Panon Widelux F8. These photographs were made on a cold and windy day that was predicted to be warm and pleasant. Thankfully the point and shoot nature of the Widelux made the session move along quickly.
Using Front Tilt For 4x5 Camera Portraits
I’ve been taking a deep dive lately into using the 4×5 camera for more and more portrait and figure work. In particular my Wista 45DX. For this particular image, I did some experimenting with front lens tilt to really fine tune the look I wanted in the final image.
Water Reflections With Kodak Ektar
I had a large batch of color negative film developed recently and out of about ten rolls of film, this one was a stand out image for me. I’ve long been a fan of the overly saturated colors of Kodak Ektar color negative film, particularly in medium format.
Noblex 06/150 Panoramic: Two Early Images
My obsession with swing lens panoramic cameras continues after acquiring a Noblex 06/150 medium format panoramic camera. The Noblex is similar to a Widelux but instead of 35mm I get to work with a larger medium format negative and so far the results have blown me away.
Chicago With The Minolta P’s Panorama
Walking through downtown Chicago with the Minolta P’s “panoramic” camera is a fun experience when I’m looking for a slightly different perspective. When working with street photography, even a little change can go a long way.
Pinhole Photograph With An 8x10 Camera
Working with the human form, an 8×10 large format camera, a pinhole, and direct positive paper. Every single technical step of this image was a challenge and I’m surprised I managed to pull off one of my favorite images of all time, despite one big mistake…
Reflections At Rooster Rock (on the Columbia River…)
Rooster Rock is an Oregon State Park that hugs the Columbia River about a forty minute drive east of Portland. It’s an incredible landscape that also happens to be a clothing optional space, which is quite convenient for photographers like me.
Two Photographs From Drift Creek Falls
I often look for easy day hikes where I can take my camera along and enjoy a little solitary bliss. Drift Creek Falls, located not far from Lincoln City along the Oregon Coast is one of those places. The hike is only a few miles and leads to a wonderful waterfall and beautiful scenery.
Pictures Along The Shores Of Santa Cruz
Making some photographs along the California coastline just north of Santa Cruz. I consider this area to be one of the most beautiful natural playgrounds on earth and I could spend years of my life doing work here.
Photo Sessions Away From Home
Nearly a decade ago now, I went through a phase where I spent ninety percent of my time away from home, traveling up and down the west coast of the United States. It was both thrilling and exhausting and I did a lot of photo sessions during that time. Every so often I like to revisit the results.
