Here's another one of them videos where I go out to the desert, take lots of pictures, and make a video about it. And this one covered all sorts of bases. I was shooting 6x17 with my Shen-Hao TFC 617-A, 6x6 with my Mamiya RZ67, and even more 6x6 with my new Mamiya C220. That's right, just squares and long-skinny rectangles. 1:1 and 1:3 is what I'm all about, friends. Keep them nasty 4:5 and 2:3 aspect ratios outta here, man! I don't need them. Well, yes I do...but not on this trip!
Love monochrome, do ya? Boom, I got you. Ilford Delta, baby. How about Kodak Portra? Yessir, I got you on that too. Old buildings your thing? Say no more, friend. Scantily-clad supermodels on the beach? No...no, I don't have that. But the other stuff I got.
I had some ups and downs on this trip. At times I was really feeling that creative nectar coursing through my veins, other times I was feeling like a complete and utter hack. I suppose both things can be true at the same time. But the point is, it wasn't all perfectly smooth sailing. And that's okay. That's part of analog photography. When you're shooting film, you just don't always know if things are going well until you get back to the lab for processing. Luckily for me, things turned out well overall. I'm pleased with many of the photos, and that's the best I can hope for.
Thanks for watching!
