About the photographs.

Newness, new projects, lots of energy, gusto.

The Hoods is the newest stuff, out of the blocks with a roar, what fun, old cars, old ornaments with designs from the 30's on, and when you talk to the owners they always have a great story to tell that involves world history, love, peace, war, really big stuff, all in a small chrome piece placed high on the hood.

The newest flora stuff is the combination of a new camera, a Speed Graphic from the 30's and a lens that has a shutter that quit sometime during the Korean War and now just functions as a placeholder for the lens.

Very short depth of field, the same distances, which is too close for comfort and so a different view done in color.

Added in May are the San Miguel photographs, again ranging from roundboys to pinhole to film to digital, all the images are of the Mission and it's grounds.
A great place to visit, quiet, peaceful, really nice people, and the coffee's not bad at Linda's Country Diner just down the street.
The visit and photos were part of an Al Weber workshop, again, great fun, well organized and incredible people with cameras.

Added in February is the Death Valley and Highway 395 folio with images in color and black and white.
The colors range from snapshots to real panoramics on film and the black and white are from an old Rollei with outdated film, mostly shot in the off the beaten path towns of Darwin and Keeler.

Italia 2008 is panoramics and roundshot 360 views, a different view of some great places in Italy.

Rat Rods is a series of individual photos in search of a buddy, they get lonely on the internet and like to hang together. Roundshot segmented photos in sometimes unlikely pairs and trios.
Spring is almost here in SoCal and so the local garages are humming at night with folks working on their car projects. There will be more cars on the road, more photos taken and more for you to look at soon.

The Infrared series are from the Bishop and Big Pine area of California, oh, Catalina Island also, the palms especially.

I'll continue with more recent color and black and white and I hope you'll find me and check in from time to time.
I guarantee there will be new stuff. Often too.

So have a look, come back often, tell your friends and please leave a comment, email a question and please leave a link with the place for me to look at your photographs.

Thank you,
John
