Josh

Josh, a colleague, recently allowed me to make this photograph of him. He works as a conservation planner in Maine, where he uses science to develop and evaluate guidelines for large scale conservation decision-making. As you might imagine, he’s a smart guy. Also, he loves pastry. I swear, he has some sort of cinnamon and butter radar. On more than one occasion, after a day of trekking in the woods, I’ve had Josh say, “Dan, we have to drive down this old logging road! Turn this way, and then that way. Follow it some more and to that broken down house. We’ll go to the back dooryard, where this old woman sells the world’s best homemade flaky goodness (insert the name of your favoirte baked good here)!” It really is quite something to experience. For Josh, it's clear that pastry and conservation are integral. Anyway, I appreciate his patience in letting me photograph him. As you might also imagine, he’s really not as serious as he appears here.

Dan's Corduroy Suit

Dan's Corduroy Suit

My friend, Dan, mentioned that he had a corduroy suit given to him after a relative passed away. We both undeniably agreed that we had to make a photograph with it. I envisioned 70’s vintage wide lapels and bell bottoms. Sadly, it turned out to be not quite so cool. We still had lots of laughs taking the image. Damn, a corduroy suit!

I’m not sure this makes for a great black and white photograph. There’s just not a lot of contrast. I also shot some Portra, which I’m hoping turns out better. I’ll likely replace this with color, if it comes out ok.

Pentax MX 35mm SLR camera + 50mm f/1.4 lens + Kodak Portra

A bit of open ice along the Parker Head Road in Phippsburg reflecting the clouds above... I wish I'd had a wider lens with me to include the stairs going into the water (stepping back meant standing in the middle of the road). Also, I typically don't mind grind and grain, but I would have liked this cleaner. I won't have my C41 processing done at the drug store again. ...need to just figure out how to do it myself. Still, it's Jimi Hendrix trippy cool to my eyes.
