cypress gardens
Photos from a lovely little park in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. I took these with a few different cameras: the Leica M4-P, the Olympus Pen FV and the Canon Powershot G10.
And this is a photo of some nearby church ruins that we went to check out after taking our walk through the swamp.
summerville
This year on my annual winter trip to South Carolina, I spent a little time wandering around the historic neighborhoods in the town my parents live in. These are the photos. Everything in color is a half-frame shot on Kodak Portra 160 and everything in monochrome is a full frame shot on Ilford XP2 Super.
downtown d.c.
My goal here was to treat these very familiar sights as if I’d never seen them before. How would I photograph them, in other words, if I were a tourist? I shot most of a roll during the 6 or so hours I was in town and these were the keepers.
beaufort, south carolina
We go to South Carolina every winter to visit my parents. Usually, this gives us a chance to have a little time without the kids, who are busy spending time with their grandparents. This year, my wife and I took a day trip down to Beaufort, South Carolina, a town of real significance in American history. Specifically, it was home to Robert Smalls, one of the heroes of the Civil War and one of the first black Americans elected to Congress.
Beaufort is a lovely little town, and we intend to take another visit to explore a little more. Until then, here are some photos I took from this trip.
In addition to my usual camera, a Leica M10-D, I also brought an Olympus Pen FV along. The Pen FV is a half-frame 35mm camera manufactured between 1967 and 1970. It’s small, compact and a lot of fun to shoot. You can also use the half-frame format to make diptychs, which I tried to do here, as you can see.
a short day in nyc
Some pictures from a recent trip to New York. We went for a friend’s wedding and had a moment to walk around the next morning, before we caught a flight back home. Photos taken with a Leica M10-D, a Leica M4-P and an old Canon Powershot G10, which I kind of love.
flint
I was in Flint, Michigan for two days last November and had enough time to walk and take pictures downtown, near the university. Here are all of the keepers.
manhattan
Back in September I had an extra day to spend during one of my semi-regular trips to New York and decided to use it to walk the length of the island of Manhattan, from the Marble Hill station all the way down to Battery Park. I walked about 14 miles in a little more than 5 ½ hours, including stops for snacks and lunch. I also, obviously, took pictures. Here are the best frames from the day. I used my Leica M4-P, the M-Hexanon 28mm lens and Fujicolor 200 film.
And obviously I took the subway back to my hotel.
tulsa
I was in Tulsa, Oklahoma for a few days in October for a talk. Here are the photos I took while walking around downtown. As always with (most of) my 35mm stuff, I used a Leica M4-P and an M-Hexanon lens in one focal length or the other. I think this film is Ilford FP4 Plus but I don’t actually remember.
