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...

When things are not altogether clear, life can often throw us a sharp left turn...

mapping out an idea...

I am so thankful that I have a son-in-law that is so incredibly creative. He found these maps and set them aside because he knew that they had potential for a photo. I also am so thankful that Tyler is always willing to be part of a collaboration and allow others to benefit from his creativity. You could say that he is selfless with his creativity. He is always willing to share, even if it means that someone else may benefit from his vision. In this case, I think I benefited from his creative vision for these maps. I just knew that I wanted to try a head shot with a shallow depth of field using these maps as the background. These two photos were taken in my garage today using the two maps, my Polaroid 600SE camera on a tripod and lighting coming in the open garage door. In both cases, I believe the subject meets the tone of the map. This is another case where the Polaroid IDUV film intensifies the photo and makes it even better. Not for sure what I will do when I run completely out of the IDUV and 669 film. I took a total of three instant shots today (two IDUV and one Impossible SX-70). These two photos far exceeded what I could have ever expected...

faces on film...

This is definitely a film-lover's film to capture faces. It is versatile enough to take indoor shots without a flash and then can be taken outside to take a photo in the late evening in the middle of the street...

before she leaves...

Brought out my 600SE to take a couple of indoor shots with Fuji FP-3000B before Sherri's sister left today. It was a cloudy overcast day so there wasn't much light coming through the windows behind me. A perfect scenario for this fantastic film...

halloween with Dr. Tyndell...

Spent Halloween 2013 with little Dr. Tyndell. No better way to celebrate than by pulling out the NIGO & Chocolate films...

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...
