headlights and horses

Two contrasting images, yet they belong together. Hopefully it is obvious why...

The first is color 600 film taken in Bodie, CA and the second is black and white SX70 film taken in Greenville, TX. There was no pre-planned agenda to purposefully take the photos, yet the accidental placement of these two images together seems so perfect...

laundromat and showers...

Spotted this in Big Pine California.

That's what you call and all around wash...

cross road...

A photo taken while looking up Green Street in Bodie California. Polaroid 669 expired film was made for this town...

me and my M6...

A photo* of me and my Leica M6 in the Patriarch Grove of the Bristlecone Pine Forest. I cannot wait to get the 35mm film photos back from my trip...

*photo taken by Toby Hancock

bristlecone patterns...

Patterns painted on the film using sunlight and a bristlecone pine tree in the shade...

the lonely road - patriarch grove...

Patriarch Grove is home to some of the largest and oldest bristlecone pines (patriarch trees). Such a surreal & lonely place. Not exactly packed with people, because of the remoteness. Caught this guy walking up the trail to the top...

Toby in the Bristlecone Pine Forest...

vintage cars - newport beach...

Had the chance to walk around the Newport Beach area on my last day in California. Ran across some vintage vehicles and couldn't pass up capturing them on Fuji black & white instant film...

toby - mammoth...

I brought three sheets of Polaroid Type 59 4x5 film on the California road trip. On the last morning at the lodge in Mammoth, we took a few photos of each other. Todd from Shutter Plus Light was generous enough to let me use his 4x5 camera for this portrait of Toby. Seeing this guy, who is famous for his intergral film shots, with a packfilm camera around his neck seems a bit ironic...
