The Capitol of Utah in Salt Lake City - I would imagine there will be a flurry of activity there this week during the swearing in of Biden in D.C.

get Great Glass - i.e. (Lenses)

Added on by John Sturr.

Every once in a while I get reminded that great glass is not only a gift but it's a necessity. It's a necessity in order to separate you from everyone else - it's a necessity to give your images the power of a compelling view. Get great lenses - even if it's just one - get one - and shoot that system like you are going to die tomorrow.

the Flowers - StandDev

Added on by John Sturr.

I have about 20 rolls of film to process and this last weekend I started to dig in - and the fruits of the labor always reignites the spark to keep on - keeping on…

Shot on the Rollei 6008i - and I realize why I keep using this wonderful beast of a camera - in FuijiFilms’s Acros 100 in a Rodinal Stand @ 5% for 60 minutes. Ok — that was a mouthful if you even care that much - it’s good to care though as it provides context to the craft. The Acros 100 is the first generation.

Oh — and scanned on a legacy Nikon LS-8000 @ 4000dpi - totally native mind you … Boom…. double Boom.

the Light

Added on by John Sturr.

While shopping I took this image of a hanging light - using the 35mm Nikon F100 and the 50mm f1.4 it turned out really well. It’s interesting when it all comes together and the final result surprises you after development and the scan. This is where the choice of premium gear, meaning the lens, will really set the captured scene apart from the normal view.

the Scene

Added on by John Sturr.

I'm always trying to see thru the ordinary and capture something which will look good as a photo.  Something which sparks an interesting thought or glance to want to see more.  Getting all of this to work - is really quite a task to accomplish.  Black and White can add something - as would color if the scene is met.  But when it does become evident and the picture does become - it can be magical.

New Orleans - 2

Added on by John Sturr.

This image is one of my favorites of the New Orleans -- it appears to be some kind of a psychic.  The group may or may not be related - and the black and white capture adds to the mystery.  Shot on the Rollei 6008i with Acros 100 stand development in Rodinal - no crop.

A quick shot of the falls - at Twin Falls - known as the Niagara of the West.  Shot with the Rollei 6008i with Fujifilm Acros 100 and processed with a stand development using Rodinal with a dilution for a 60 minute processing time.
