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.
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.
Driftwood At The End Of The World
It’s always a wonderful experience to get to the end of an incredibly long hike and to find a natural monument at the end. In this case I was in Southern Oregon exploring the dunes when the trail led me to a massive piece of driftwood washed up along the Pacific shoreline.
A Nude With Fallen Trees
Walking through the woods and finding a patch of long fallen trees provided a great backdrop for a few figure studies over the summer. The twisted shapes and rough textures contrasted perfecting with the human form.
Color Film In The Summer Sun
I don’t work with color film nearly as often as I should. This is especially true in the summer months here in Oregon when we have glorious blue skies and warm colors everywhere you look. It’s a perfect combination for film stocks like Kodak Ektar.
Star Trails With Black & White Film
I’ve done a few experiments with star trail photography on black and white film. I wouldn’t say any of my attempts have been one hundred percent successful, but I also plan on trying again in the near future.
