Warm DaddyI had a chance recently to go to an outdoor concert featuring Wessell “Warm Daddy” Anderson. Trust me when I say he is indeed the warmest of souls and can flat melt a saxaphone. To make things as difficult as possible I took the Hassy flexcam which is like taking a knife to a gunfight. The camera is slow and not meant for moving targets. Anyway here  is one I got.  Im glad I took the flex. See http://www.amazon.com/Wessell-Anderson/e/B000AQ1DMS/ref=ntt_dp_epwcd_T1_0

iron-manSometimes I take the camera in unlikely places like dive bars and honkey tonks. I have always found the people friendly.  In this particular place a big sign when you enter states, ” If you throw a punch, pack a lunch, cause you ass is going to jail. ”   Kind of makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

This of course is Iron Man and his lady. I didnt catch her name.

Of course night shooting with no flash requires pushing the film. This one is 400 to 800 wide open at 1/2 sec.

skateboardOne of my favorite personal shots of one of my daughters.  Shot with Polaroid Type 55 and view camera. The day they stopped making type 55 was a sad one indeed.

BeginningsThis is the first image I shot with a view camera. Fitting I suppose for the nutty kind of guy I am. Shot with Polaroid film.

tres-JesusI experimented with liquid emulsion a while back. I wish I had kept doing it. As they say practice makes perfect. On the otherhand, the imperfection of liquid emulsion is the intriguing quality about the process that draws me. This is a 3 frame contact print triptych from 6×7 frames on water color paper.
