Trying out a camera I have never used before, while shooting film, in all manual exposure mode with manual focus

From the phone to the dome

Welcome to the future people. With phones becoming ever more amazing. Especially after Google acquired snap speed. I was able to photograph this, edit it and post it to the blog without typing a damn thing! Text to type is amazing

THIRD TIMES A CHARM

Man, yesterday was a whirlwind. I didn't eat right and kinda fucked myself for dinner, but I took today off and rested up. All I can say is that in my limited experience, upper Manhattan is boring. But Chelsea and The Meat Packing District are pretty cool. Very hip indeed, although I just realized I don't have the kind of income to live in this city the way I would want!

I must say that there is something inherently charming about the juxtaposition of the well dressed and the dirt of the city. THIS IS A METROPOLIS

GEARS DOWN

So we landed at JFK around 11:15 and thusly embarked on my first trip to NYC. We dropped our bags at the hotel and and went around the corner for some food. This city really does never sleep, and we are staying in what seems to be a sleepy part of town. But what do I know?

It's amazing how at home I feel considering its thirty some odd degrees outside and this city is fucking DIRTY! I'm still struggling to take it all in and it's almost one pm. MORE TO COME

First in a Few Fears

February 25, 2012 in Black & White, Color, Design, One View, Street walking

I am posting things a little backwards here because this shot is it for me. I pass this ally every day on my way to work and it has never made a compelling image until I picked up a Canon EOS RT a few days ago. This is the first time I have shot film in about 5 years; I was scared. It was interesting shooting in lighting that I know and second guessing myself. But, true to form, I trusted my gut and this is what came out. I would like to think I could have made this shot digitally, and I most certainly color corrected it that way. But even with my level of understanding of the technical side of both analogue and digital techniques, this film shot "has it". The "it" that is lacking in all the other images I have made here. So, kudos to film?

The images below are also shot with film, and they are also my first few shots on this new camera. Funny enough, of things that should never be shot on 35mm (action photography).

I started shooting at about 13 because some of my friends skated for a large team. Those road trips and silly antics made me fall for the art, but I sure dont miss the high frame rates and low success rates of this type of photography, especially with film. So, kudos to film?

Soooooo, Kudos to film for inspiring me to love the art. Kudos to film for making me switch to digital. Kudos to film for re-invigorating my passion in image making during busy times!

Late to the game

So what if I have problems editing. So what if I am sitting on thousands of shots like this!

As a society we share space and time, yet somehow the experiences remain unique to the individual. Take for instance Josh and I, we are a couple, we both got our BFA's in Photography, we both wait tables in San Francisco and we live together. Despite all the time and experiences we share our view of them are completely different. On our first day off together in 2012 we rode past the de Young museum on our bikes after we had coffee at the beach and we decided to go up to the observation tower. These are the images we came away with.
