some details...

The other day when I was under the Route 1 Bridge in Newbury I shot these...

So I'm trying to use the goose (6x9) a lot more now, It feels a lot like shooting with 35mm (obviously), which is nice. I got these detail shots, they're pretty not special but for some reason I like them.

So I decided to try to shoot the dump, Its kindof amazing how not so many years ago this was just a big pile of garbage. (now it's a big pile of garbage with grass growing out of it...and methane exhaust pipes) But I'm not sure if this compisition is too thrilling. However...




...I do like this lot, a lot. there's just the smallest amount of pavement remaining in this landscape, It's kindof got a lot going on but I like the amount of nature vs the amount of relic. Had shot some other 4x5 sheets this weekend but I will need to reshoot the other locations in a more interesting manner.


some medium format should be coming up soon have a few rolls to develop!

Newbury, Perspective

Two new 4x5 shots, I'm really happy with these and the top location has a few other gems to shoot but I need to catch the light early in the day... Who would throw away this perfectly good picket fence...?

So I've been rethinking my perspective a bit, maybe focusing down a bit more. Focusing more directly on the evidence of man and nature. I shot these in Newbury, both in empty lots near a bridge, but in these I've tried to obscure the location a bit and focus more on the land at hand.

I like them, hope you do too.

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.

wheelbarrows, sally's Place, Some Landscapes.

So my blog keeps on exploding every time I try to post and label these images. This weekend was nothing but rain and despite the fact that I might have bronchitis it yielded some pretty fun 4x5 work. Had to do a lot of blocking and wiping down of my stuff to keep the rain away but I've got some fun stuff.

Starting with a weird wheelbarrow picture (dunno why but I love wheelbarrows)

This sign is being eaten by plants, I've had my eye on it for a while now...

And the rest of these are from Sally's Place in Seabrook, NH. It's a wierd place full of discarded mysteries, but I like it.

I'm definately happiest with the top two images but they all printed quite nicely. Felt good to shoot work that relates to my landscape project...(wheelbarrows excluded!) anyways I hope this post doesn't bug out because I have a train to catch. Oh and guess what it's still raining!
