spring snapshots

Just because we’re all under lockdown doesn’t mean I can’t occasionally wander around and take photos. All taken on an Olympus Stylus Epic using a variety of films.

late night charlottesville

Pretty self-explanatory. Photos from around town, all taken between 11pm and 1am. Like most people, I’ve gotten a little stir-crazy, and these nighttime walks have been very valuable to preserving my sanity. This series will continue beyond these photos, as I attempt to cover more of Charlottesville on foot, camera in tow.

In February, before everything went to hell, I gave a talk in Portland, Oregon. I was there long enough to do a little sightseeing, and spent most of an entire day walking around the city. I took a lot of photos, and here are the ones worth sharing. Film and digital, should be pretty obvious which is which!

Snapshots from around Charlottesville. No particular theme, just things I thought were visually interesting.

Whenever I travel somewhere, I take photos on my digital camera and I take photos on film. The latter always take awhile to get developed and scanned, which is why I’m just posting them now, over a month after the primary. If you’re curious, I use a Plustek Opticfilm 8100 to scan my 35mm film, and an old Epson Perfection 4870 Photo to scan my medium and large format film.

I almost always have two cameras on me — one film, one digital. I shared the digital photos from my Virginia Beach visit last week. Here are the film, taking on a Yashica Mat 124G medium format camera with Ilford XP2 Super film. I think black and white is perfect for the beach on a winter morning — it captures the starkness of the environment. Also, these aren’t just random shots; they are in a sequence. A little journey, so to speak.
