The One Thousand Mile Texas Flag. Photographed on 4X5 at @phootcamp with @nuzz 's film and camera and lighting by Matthew Mahon. I knew I wanted to shoot some 4X5 at some point during phootcamp, but wasn't sure what would be the best subject. After our Phootenany, I chose this weathered flag that traveled bound to our RV as the perfect 4X5 subject. All the detail, the cheap frayed fabric, the plaster adobe wall, the chinese grommets, the dirty whites, the sewn edges. It was all this detail that motivated me to capture with 4X5 but I only needed one more thing to bring this together. Thats when I grabbed a pencil and wrote Phoot 2011 in the bottom left corner. Thanks to Nuzz for processing and scanning this gem.

My Phoot Camp buddy Portrait,

I'm always get a bit nervous about the forever optimist, but in Matthews case, once I met him I was sold. I was ready to buy whatever he was selling.

Here is Matthew Brush seated on some abandoned steel, at the Tumble Inn of Marfa, Texas. I was constantly impressed by Matthew's wandering eye. There was never a moment of rest in his Phoot Camp experience, always looking for the next picture, traveling, driving, and scouting. He has no hesitation in meeting people, befriending them and then making a beautiful shot of them. I was excited to have an opportunity to make his portrait, especially after meeting him myself.
