Antelope Island

Antelope Island, UT. On flickr.

My first visit to Antelope Island was a very nice experience. As was shooting this roll of Walgreens 400 speed. Something about these cheap rolls of film that I just really like. I took about a dozen shots with my D40 and didn't like any of them (except maybe one). I suspect the digital pictures could have turned out better if I'd exerted a more disciplined rigor toward shooting with a D40. But no matter how much effort I'd put into those digital shots, they still wouldn't look like this.

All That Could Have Been

A recurring pattern: I load the film, and fry the first image. Keeps me humble. Or something. A reminder that the whole process is rather delicate and it doesn't take much for your world to vanish. Still, from the look of that water, I'll bet this would have been the best oceanscape on the roll.

Six from our Abandoned House Shoot

I went on a shoot with Tiff and Michael a few weeks ago at this abandoned house and got a few shots I was rather pleased with. I already posted one shot, but wanted to share six more. Some of these I've already shared on flickr, but I felt like posting them here as well - like having them collected together would somehow mean something different from them individually. I was the only one who went in the abandoned house; Tiff and Michael were content with staying outside. After being in there I understand - it was kinda creepy in there. Later we found an old Dodge car that had been put out to pasture. Michael got some nice ones of it. All in all, a successful day.
