Dinner with the Woods

Added on by John Sturr.

This was an unpredictable roll -- some frames just didn't turn out well.  The advantage of the hybrid / digital workflow offers powerful corrective actions in post.  I have no idea how that was completed to satisfaction back in the day.

XP2 - C41

Added on by John Sturr.

A friend who I've mention before, Will Wright, sent me a roll of Ilford XP2 to try explore.  The option of being able to shoot BW with a C-41 process has some advantages - especially when traveling or being on the road without the traditional chemicals available.  

Drop it in the mail - or find a local drugstore to process the roll - done.

This is a shot from my day job - FFKR Architects - where, as I've mentioned in other posts, I have some excellent subject matter and backgrounds, to photograph.  

Here is one of the Firm's Principals, Rick Frerichs, head of the Health Care Studio, in his office.

This is the back side of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building - historically known as Hotel Utah.

This was restored and remodeled, by the LDS Church in the 1980's to become an administration type building.  

FFKR Architect's was hired for the original remodel and has since been involved in ongoing modifications.

A paradise in and of itself -- let alone when you are carrying a camera.  Taken from the beach of the house we were fortunate to be renting for the week.  Can't wait to go back.  This is Ilford Pan-F 50.  I'm not a big fan as the sharpness seems a bit lacking - It was a an experiment of sorts - I'm now sticking to Ilford's Delta series.  Either 100 or 400.

Smoke Tones

Added on by John Sturr.

A cedar plank salmon smoking, is a back yard favorite - and on a whim I shot the event and the captured tones blew me away.

The smoke tones, during this evening really gave way to the power of the monochrome - and this became a good learning moment of trying to recognize what BW can really capture.

 

Back to the roots.

Months ago - testing the nature of film and how it works against architecture.  Film is so foreign - its like putting on blinders and walking out side.  Digital allows you to confirm the capture - film says, "screw you" -- I'll give it up when I want too.  And that's the truth.  

For a paying gig - well - that's a bit unnerving.

This is at the University of Utah.  When the light is right - there are some striking areas to shoot.
