THE PORTABLE PHOTOBOOTH has kept me pretty busy, which is fantastic but I have not been shooting much for myself. In attempts to finish a seeming never ending roll, I took pictures of my garden in progress.  I am growing pumpkin, cantaloupe, carrots, cilantro, oregano, sweet potato, green onion, and I am attempting to start several avocado trees. My garden has been a great part of my daily routine and it is wonderful to see progress in something daily. I think I am growing too.

Sorry if you have been constantly looking and find nothing. Here is a photo of me in London. I have a bunch more photos to prep and blog but enjoy this for now.

Their symbol means lots of things to me, but mostly they represent strength. I specifically like trees that stand alone or stand out from the rest.

I had some serious technical difficulties, my digital camera was very tired from a wedding days before. I brought several film cameras to play with, but when my digital didn’t want to cooperate, I was forced to use my back ups. I recently purchased a Mamiya RB67 for a great deal on craigslist, so untested and with film who knows how old, this became my key camera. Here are my favorite shots.

I think this one is the most like them.

It was nice to do a shoot all in film, I have not done this since college. It forced me to think a lot more using an entirely mechanical camera. You think about every shot before you take it, with a 6×7 format you only get 10 shots per roll of film. I sure love film. I plan on using this camera more in the future with more success.
