Shit! I was doing some organizing in my camera closet and the merest accidental tap on the back of my Kodak 2D shattered the ground glass. I know it can be repaired, but this happened literally 10 minutes I just paid for the $300 CLA on the Nikon S2 rangefinder. Why, camera gods, why?

Adams On Theater! Through June 29: Stages St. Louis’ “Murder for Two” Turns Sleuthing into Showbiz open.substack.com/pub/stlouisa...

I am truly enamored with the process of making photographs with an 8x10 view camera. It is unique, and distinctively different than even shooting 4x5, which I do a lot of. This is part of my ongoing Hive Minded Missouri Beekeepers portrait project. #8x10 #largeformat #largeformatphotography

Healing the body is expensive. Transcending the reality of space and time is free. It’s just so obvious once you do the math. Do the math now. Then we shall cut every math department. The Zen of Dying Quietly, and Other Teachings by Senator Joni Ernst www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

Livin' la Vida Loca

Another from my recent foray into #perryvillemo to photograph a husband/wife team of #amateurbeekeepers as part of my ongoing #missouribeekeepersphotographyproject. When I work with these subjects, our sessions are part #envionmentalportrait and part #documentaryphotography.

When Your Barn Door's Open. This is a decent scan, but I can't wait to work on this photograph in the darkroom so I can make the siding look less blown out and improve the contrast. #toycamera #originaldiana #dianacamera #foma400 #oldbarn #shotonfilm #filmshooter

Come Down. The barn was razed a week or so after I made this photograph with an Original Diana camera and some Holga 400 (Foma 400) film. Reminds me exactly of why I love to shoot toy cameras. #toycamera #diana #oldbarn

Safe Behind Bars From one of my many wanderings while making photographs as part of my True North Project. #qwerkystudio #streetphotography #orwofilm #un4 #leica #leicam5 #50mmsummicron

Recent session with folks near Perryville, Mo -- second apiary, located deeper into the country, amongst fields. We took a ride in his side by side to get there. I climbed into the bed of the vehicle and leaned over the cab roof to make this with a #TeleRolleiflex #beekeeper #hivemindedproject

Your Hand In Mine. From my ongoing True North project, 15+ years and still going. This scene wasn't pretty in color, but rendered much better in b/w. #orwofilm #orwoun54 #leica #leicam5 #50mmsummicron #qwerkystudio #shotonfilm #filmneverforgets #emulsive #shootmorefilm

Adams On Theater. I sooo needed an evening of good theater after a day job day in hell. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbYh...

Body Work. Light is energy. I believe everything is energy. I sense, or am attracted to, energy in scenes. Being attuned to the energy of a scene is my form of synesthesia -- an involuntary experience and merging of the senses. My camera is how I record that. #streetphotography #leicam5 #orwofilm

I watched an excellent documentary about #romanvishniac and was inspired to buy this equally excellent #photobook. Amazing backstory and work. More than 14,000 negatives were stolen by the Nazi and from those he saved these are among the best. Highly recommend!

Border Crossing. 1/2 of a diptych I'm working on for my upcoming solo show (and book), True North at St. Louis Artists' Guild this summer.

I’m in no way complaining, but I got this box of 4x5 slightly expired film for $169. I will be more discriminating before I click.

I'm not really sure why three frames from this roll had sprocket ghosts, but I like their happy-accident presence in this photograph. This won't make it into my True North solo exhibition, but it will be part of the overall project. #streetphotography #shotonfilm #leicam5 #leica #qwerkystudio

Dresden. This one may make the cut for my upcoming solo show at St. Louis Artists Guild, True North. I named it "Dresden" because that's the Fahrenheit 451 vibe that I tried to evoke. #leica #leicam5 #summicron #shotonfilm #filmneverforgets #streetphotography #qwerkystudio #truenorth

From my True North project. Probably won't make it into the solo show or book this summer, but I just developed this after sitting in a drawer for a couple of years. #leica #leicam5 #leicafilmcamera #orwo #orwoun54 #orwofilm #shotonfilm #qwerkystudio #streetphotography #filmisalive
