More Medium Format!

So I figured I'd post this stuff separately. I found this poor dead pylon under the BQE. A few blocks from the empty lot in the last post. I'd enjoyed the look of this thing in passing before but once someone put a face on it, it became a poor dead robot and I figured it was worth noting.


I also shot some portraits of one of my oldest friends, Eve. It's a more dead pan shot than I'd like, but I have this and one other shot that I enjoyed, the other needs a good bit of work on it and will prolly post in the future.


I'm really becoming a huge fan of shooting with the 600se, and will definitely keep working with it. I feel like it makes a great camera for decisive moments and decent for portrait work as well.

Brooklyn

So I dragged my Cameras down to Brooklyn this past weekend and shot some work there that kindof reflects what I'm doing here in Massachusettes. When I return I'll be shooting a lot more stuff but in the meantime I have this location near Kate's, an empty lot at Marcy/Metropolitan.

I like the top and bottom two images and will prolly keep them as a diptych, the third will not make the cut but since I went through the time to retouch it i figured I may as well post it.




Some people thought this was a very different approach for me to be shooting in such an urban environment but I'm not sure it's a huge departure. I also shot these stopped way down ~f45, normally I shoot at about 22 and I think I might like that a little better.
