I really recommend following my friend Jonathan Hillhouse on Flickr & Tumblr.
He is living in Japan (Oita prefecture) and shoots a 4x5 Graflex Speed Graphic exceedingly well.
Ditto. Wonderful photographs.
Ruins.
peep the high res on this one for the details
love it when they take pictures of each other behind my back.
There is something sublime about a farm at dusk. Everybody knows what to do. There’s no rush hour. Quite the opposite actually. It’s slow down hour. Get settled hour. Find your place to eat hour. Get cozy because you’re gonna be snoozing soon hour.
And the lack of light does not feel like darkness, just the slow graceful fade-out of daytime when everything gets quiet and calm and gray.
The dread-lock dog. Can’t remember her name. Cool though. Like a real-life muppet.
Myles and the dread-lock dog.
What up Duck.
If you’ve never cracked and then eaten good fresh walnuts, you should probably add that to your list.
see?
Goats are eerie awesome creatures. They look Right at you. And hold there. And take you in. And wait. It’s not an intimidating stare. It would be hard to even call it “curious.” It’s just blank.
I like it. No bullshit. Just “I’m looking right at you.”
Digging through some old photos tonight. I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic for my days of being madly in love with photography. I tend to have a hot/cold relationship with this art-form. It’s never love/hate—I always love it—but we definitely go in phases.
Frankly, this Summer has been an “off” phase. Days that I used to spend shooting or sitting in front of a computer editing have been spent rock climbing and trail running and generally avoiding my computer as much as possible. I could probably count on one hand how many times I’ve picked up my Nikon. Shot a box of medium format on vacation, but haven’t processed any of the rolls yet!
Oh well.
I have learned to just sit tight when this happens. I’ll come back around. Winter will give me lots of scanning time.
This rare series of Pan Am posters is absolutely beautiful. The photos are dark, even a little mysterious, and so very different from the way they would probably be shot and designed today. I much prefer this style — it makes me want to go to each of those places and get lost.
There’s a fun story about the history of these posters over at Eye Magazine.
