First 8x10 Shot

I very recently purchased an 8x10 field view camera. It's an Eastman No. 1. Built between 1901 and 1924. The lens on it is a Radar Anst. F4.5 in a Wollensak Betax No. 5 Shutter. This thing is an antique, but it works fine. Here is one of the first shots I took with it and then made a contact print.

Portraits at the Salt Flats

This past Sunday I went with a good friend of mine, Tavis Johnson to the Salt Flats. He was photographing a client of his and was kind enough to let me tag along and take a few pictures with my large format camera. The weather was perfect, the bride was beautiful, and the salt flats were salty.

My Sister's Bridals Part 2

I took my sister back out to Utah Lake to do a few more large format bridal photos. I'm please with a lot of them. She's beautiful.

Two More Portraits of Ecuador

I had a couple of rolls of 120 that were only half shot. I finally finished one of them and processed it. Here are a couple more portraits for Ecuador. One is of an old beggar woman with crippled legs. The other of a older gentleman.

My Sister's Bridals

My youngest sister Betty Jo, is getting married this month. I took some bridal shots of her. They're a little outside of standard Utah wedding photography. I shot them near Utah Lake with my Shen Hao 4x5 camera and a 210mm lens. I used Kodak Tmax 100 film. I scanned them and added a Polaroid Type 55 border.

LensWork Extended

I recently submitted my American Biker project to LensWork Magazine. They have informed me that my portfolio will be published in the next issue (#77) of LensWork Extented. Which is a subscription DVD that contains additional portfolios and interviews. Brooks Jensen(the editor of LensWork) will be interviewing me next week and that will be included in the DVD.
