Meghan

Meghan and her hair.  We went to Point Reyes for this shoot.  It was a lovely day.  Six pack of beer, bottle of collodion, and a stack of plates.

Miss Managua, take 2

You may recall the Angel de Managua.....

 

 

At the lake...

...well, reservoir to be exact.  But lake sounds nicer to me - more natural.  Anyway, here are a few shots I took with Nikki (the knife).  She was a super trooper and even got in the water repeatedly!  I really like shooting in nature, but it is hard to find spots that aren't "private property -- no tresspassing" and that are relatively private and that aren't too far from the vehicle (all the gear is heavier than you might think).  Anyway, this spot at Nicasio Reservoir fit the bill.  SF photographer Julia Comita came along to learn a bit about the process and she was very helpful throughout the day.  Thanks for looking.

 

Golden Gate Bridge

It has been far too long since last I shot.  With a break in the rain, I loaded the gear and headed toward the iconic shot of SF through the Golden Gate.  The plate below wasn't the cleanest of the day, but I liked the mood of it the best.  Shooting among tourists was kinda fun -- no shortage of people with whom to explain what I was doing.  And I realized that when (not if) I lose my job, I'm going to head here to sell some plates!  Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one....

V Revisited

This is my second shoot with Ms. V.  She is such a delight to work with and has such a unique look, that I couldn't pass up the opportunity when it knocked.

As we're entering the low cycle of UV light, otherwise known as winter, the exposures and development times are getting corresponding longer. 

View Camera spread

I'm happy to report that View Camera magazine published some of my pictures and an essay, in its Sept/Oct 2009 issue.   It's still a bit of an ego stroke to see them in print!  And I hope the essay is helpful to at least one soul out there thinking about jumping into the ether world....

Meghan's Hair

Hair.  It is not often that I find the pinnacle of a woman's attractiveness to be her hair.  But it happens.  And it happened in spades with Meghan.  I think I've come a step closer to understanding the force that Jane Morris had over each of the greats, William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

Here is my hommage to Meghan and her hair....
