Em on the hunt.
By the way, since so many people seem to like this photograph, I thought I’d mention you can purchase prints of this and many others on my actual Tumblr page by clicking the image to see it in the light box, then making a selection at the top of the screen.

I ran out of film at the exact moment when she turned to port and gave me a gorgeous composition in my viewfinder. It was a tragic moment. I also made the split-second decision when I snapped this to break the rules of photography and make the horizon crooked for the sake of leveling the yacht. But I’m not sure they’re heeling enough to make it radical enough to work. If only the wind were a little stronger that day…
Kiln

This old, decrepit kiln was one of the several cool pieces of local history at the park where Em and I went exploring. I’d have shot this on Tri-X, but I still had most of a roll of Portra 160 to get through. I can’t lie, I do like me some color…
Summer Skin | My Daughter

This girl moves so fast; this shot is truly a miracle. As a matter of fact, just about any manually focused shot I get of her is a miracle. She gave me lots of nice full-second-long poses this day, so I had a few miracles back-to-back.
Artist and Sandwich | Lunch, before going out to shoot some Tri-X.

Em is the sort of person who, stately and classy as she may naturally be, would never let an air of superiority presume upon her countenance. Hence, here we are, just eatin’ a sammich. She walked in front of that wall, and the light was just perfect, so I scrambled to get out the camera and focus before the moment disappeared.

Went to a park to shoot some film with my sister. It used to be a farm, and when the family that owned it was getting ready to sell, the citizens of the area worked to keep it from being developed. This lovely park is the result of their efforts.

Finally! I have a spare second, so I’m uploading one of many film shots that turned out well. Can’t say when the next one will come. Bear with me…
