christian and elaine...
In addition to the 8x10 camera/film from my ealier post, I also got to show off some of the capabilities of packfilm cameras and Fuji FP-3000B film to Christian and Elaine. Had such a great time meeting up with them and getting the chance to shoot in the Makeshift Photo studio and then sit around the table to eat & talk at the All Good Cafe in Deep Ellum. Meeting and getting to know all the people is what this is all about. The photos are just the icing on the cake...
christian and me...
Was able to meet up with Christian and Elaine today in Deep Ellum to get a chance to shoot an Impossible 8x10 of him and let him shoot one of me. This was his first chance to get to shoot the 8x10 camera and all things considered, I think he did a great job. If anything, I think we didn't compensate correctly for the bellow extension and it underexposed the image slightly. Most of all today was about meeting up and having time to sit around and talk. In that sense, today was a total success. It was a great time to get to know a little more about Christian and Elaine. Had seen both of them at several previous polawalks, but never had time to really talk with them. Plus it gave me an opportunity to give away another packfilm camera and some film to reduce my hoarder status...
deep ellum art...
Have photographed this mural (along with many other ones) in deep ellum mulitple times with different cameras. This Impossible image of Madison King is by far one of my favorites...
the one and only Simon Ponder...
Was excited to hear that Simon was coming to Dallas to go on a Polawalk in Deep Ellum. I have followed his brillance on Twitter for some time (plus he is a fellow Texas Tech alumni), but this was our first time to meet in person. I would have to say that sharing the 8x10 process and fascination of Impossible 8x10 film with fellow photographers is becoming one of my favorite things to do...
complimentary...
Lots of images from the weekend in front of this mural. None seem to represent the blacks and pastels more than the expired Polaroid 669 film. I dread the day when I have no more. It is coming up sooner than later... Was glad to be able to shoot this image of Frank on this film. A bit repetitious, because his black and white 8x10 photo and Leica image were also taken in front of this mural. The lighting in this area of the alley was absolutely perfect. Made it hard to resist taking so many photos here. Looking at this image I think I have decided that Frank has the look for this film. He makes the film look good and the film definitely compliments him...
guarded...
On Sunday, during the PolawalkTX weekend, we had all of our 8x10 camera gear set up in the alley behind the studio in Deep Ellum. We were all running around in/out of the studio but we always tried to leave at least one person outside to "guard" the equipment. Will had the perfect posture for a typical Security Guard. Add the shirt to the mix and he meant business...
success in the studio...
A collaboration with the one and only Justin Goode. With this setup taking so much time, I couldn't imagine letting Justin just take one 8x10. This is my version with Polaroid 669 film and the 600SE camera...
deep ellum neon...
Grabbed this image on my way out of deep ellum tonight. I think the fact that it was drizzling rain added to the effect of the red dragging down the image...
from another world...
Took the bottom image for the "Impossible Moment In Time" graffiti theme today. I took the top image using my Leica M8 and adjusted the contrast, using NIK Color Efex Pro, to bring out the details. Let it be known that I messed up the exposure terribly on the bottom one. This affected the colors and the amount of detail in the highlights. I should have set the exposure to full darken to compensate for the PX680 Cool film. For some reason, I continually forget this when I go to take pictures with the Spectra camera. I think it has something to do with the fact that I don't take pictures with the Spectra very often.
However, sometimes the mistakes end up being phenomenal photos. Despite the fact that you cannot see all of the detail, the Impossible image is somewhat surreal. Almost from another world far beneath the sea...
