its been a crazy couple of months and i have barely been shooting. i had to drag myself out yesterday but i was so happy to get out and take some shots off the pier in huntington as the sun set. it was a really tranquil and surreal sunset, freezing cold and drizzling but the weather makes for great clouds and light..

i have been working all weekend on the final website revisions so you can expect to see those going live soon!

my homegirl Michelle threw a rad shindig to bring in the new year – i took the ring light along for the fun of it – met some awesome people including the cool couple above.


Darren and his lady – i love you guys
Here is the link to the shots from the party guys – go crazy.

will your digital camera still work in 68 years?

with one comment

i doubt it will make it a full three.

i got some black and white 120 film (yeah, i said film) for a camera that i have had sitting around for a few years. its a Minoltaflex 2B, manufactured and sold in what what then post-war japan in 1950 – the shutter still works so i was all to excited to figure out how to load and advance the film (the instructions online are all in japanese) and found a new dimension to my passion along the way.

shooting with this thing is a different experience entirely.
i am a child of the digital age, even with my relatively complex dslr i can point and shoot away, relaying on built in light meter and lcd screens to adjust exposure and reshoot. with this antique bad-boy you get 12 frames. and thats ONLY if you dont screw anything up (which i did) – the time it takes to set my exposure and find a focus had an unexpected result of letting my subject settle in a way that i have not seen before. forcing them to wait resulted in a completely different mood to the shots that i would not have gotten had i been firing away…
bobby.
i am looking forward to the slide film next.
i might have to buy a slide scanner if i keep this up…

man down.

setup in a school, pediatrics, physical therapy and a full dental clinic

i spent the day in rojo gomez with the RockHarbor Mexico crew and medical team. i am still coughing from the day of hot wind and endless dust but the day was a success – the medial team saw over 100 people – they will be leaving for the refugee camps in Uganda just after christmas.
