Fields of Fish and Flowers
This blog has been neglected over the winter....but now...the sun is out! Let the wild rumpus start. Here is a roll of film from my latest shoot with Foxine Jay.
So. Much. Salt.
Zues had carved out a basin 282 feet below sea level, and filled it with salt. What was his purpose for doing this? Death Valley's Badwater Basin certainly lived up to its name....the little water that can be found there is not for drinking, unless you are a fan of instant kidney stones.
Concert for the Sun: Mel
She peers through the curtain and sneaks up to the balcony to guage the size of the audience. There is only one member, and it's the sun.
Concert for the Sun: Kayla
The mountains memorize the melodies
and echo the lyrics she screams into sunsets
This is Kayla, a songwriter from Nashville, TN. What I find very intriguing about her is that she has been traveling up and down California and working with other photographers. She is the subject for a good amount of visual creativity, but each person with their own perspective sees her and the surroundings a bit differently. It's truly fascinating to watch.

How does the Leica T compare to Film?
For those of you that follow me on social media, you probably know that I shoot ALOT of film....you might also know that I recently got my hands on a Leica T camera....a digital camera. I decided to take this camera, and my Nikon F2 (produced 1972) out to test how each camera compares to each other.
To be completely fair, this probably isn't the best comparison. I'm still new to shooting digital cameras. Shooting "manual" is normal for me, but I have yet to produce the type of images in-camera that I get from film without having to edit them afterwards. The Leica T is amazing in low light. Holy moly, it is amazing. I will post photos of its low light capabilities in a future portrait shoot.....but in the meantime, here is a comparison of the two.
I wish I recorded the "EXIF" data...but again, I primarily shoot film...so I don't normally record that type of information. I used an external meter at the first half of this shoot...then gave up because the images from the Leica weren't to my liking, so I shot a mixture of "A" and "P" mode. Enjoy!
