images from an expired roll of 220 film i got,

shay's roof drop to down rail crazyness

this photo ended up to be pretty challenging.. from from climbing over railings, getting on top of roofs, to having limited flashes and tricky lighting, but shay pulled off his mad stunt successfully

for this project i rolled 35mm film into a holga camera. this made it possible to expose the ENTIRE roll of film including the edges. i love how the sprocket holes on the edges are part of the image now. there were some problems with light leaks, but all in all this experiment turned out really well

firelight

I was able to go out and take some pictures in the middle of nowhere last night. there was something to be lit on fire so of course the idea to jump over it came about. im pretty sure jumping over flaming objects is in the back of every snowboarder/ skiers mind to try at some point in time.. but anyways. the structure wasn't staying lit for very long so the lighting was pretty tricky, but im really content with the few shots i got though

Wyoming Bowl

This weekend i was able to go out to Wyoming Bowl just off of Big Sky. It was a bluebird day and felt like spring. The snow was soft and Carson, Todd, Myles, Jonny, Shay, Ray and I came across a clearing with a few pillows to drop off of.

I had to brighten up the photos a bit because most of them came out a little dark. I have also been learning how to use large format view cameras in my photo classes and was inspired by the tilt shift aspect of this camera. This aspect enables the image to have very shallow depth of field, and only a sliver of focus. Although I did not shoot with a view camera, I was able to manipulate the image to mirror the tilt shift technique. I also feel that the making them black and white gives the images a more timeless feel. They were too busy in color.

The images I altered in this form are the last two.

silowflash

the result of an uneventful day was this photo shoot at 11pm at the local parking garage. we were going to try to go longboarding but the ground was still wet so we brought out my flash and played around in this dimly lit parking structure. this shoot really helped me figure out lighting situations and how to work my flash. i also had alot of fun working them on the computer. sometimes you just end up with a card full of photos that you are absolutely in love with, this was one of those shoots. I was assisted by the talented Jonny Durst, whose photographic skillz are proven to be just as amazing as his vidoeing talents. The lower two photos were shot by the one and only J. Durst.

The lower photo is the result of our creative genius.

On my adventures out to VT, i brought my Holga along with me. i mostly just shot on the bus rides and in the airports to keep me from going crazy with boredom. when i got back this week i took the 2 rolls i shot and got them cross developed. ( this is when you develop a roll of film with a different type of developer than what is usually used for that specific type of film). it resulted in the colors having more of a blueish greenish tint to them. but i think they turned out pretty good and starting to really love shooting with the Holga.
