things from 2013.</div>

First up, the Wonderful Wine Company licensed a Holga film image of mine for use on their 2011 red wine called Score. Pretty cool. You can find the wine here at <a href="https://www.clubw.com/wines/10377/2011-score-red-blend" target="_blank">Club W</a>, plus many <a href="http://www.clubw.com/674295" target="_blank">other</a> varieties.</div>

<br />
I completed a 365 instant film project last May as well (May 2012-May 2013). A challenging project to the say least. Shot primarily with Impossible films of various editions as well as some expired Polaroid and Fuji, both Instax and peel-apart. The project was intended as a exercise to look for repeating/emerging themes in my images and to look for other series to build off of. To see how I viewed/captured things around me, daily. It was also a technical one, to get more familiar with the quirks of my aging cameras and the various films from Impossible.<br />

Impossible had a pop-up gallery store last April here in Hollywood. They demoed the 8x10 BW instant film and I had my portrait taken. It was pretty fun and cool. Got to meet some of the Impossible USA team and several of the great instant photographers I'd been following on Flickr and Twitter.<br />

Almost forgot! Got featured on the <a href="https://blog.the-impossible-project.com/8-exposureswith-leandro-fornasir" target="_blank">Impossible Project 8 Exposure</a> blog. That was pretty cool.<br />
Somehow, in my mind though, I keep thinking that happened in 2012.<br />

After the instant 365 project, I took a bit of break. Found myself shooting at a much slower pace and using my other film and plastic cameras a bit more. I picked up a Diana f+ Mini which is a lot of fun to shoot with. Particularly like the half frame option and creating in camera diptychs, though after awhile you can't really keep track of where you are at. Usually works out though, and the mini square format is nice as well.</div>

I still have lots of images from 2013 to post. As for the rest of 2014, I have some recent Hasselblad and misc 35mm images to post soon. More Holga and instant shots coming. Hoping to get a few of the new series I've had in mind started this year, as well as more regular blog posts again.<br />

Built in the canyons just outside L.A. in the 1930's by wealthy Nazi sympathizers. This <a href="http://www.hikespeak.com/trails/rustic-canyon-murphy-ranch-nazi-ruins/" target="_blank">blog</a> gives a good history on it and has some good photos as well. It's a really interesting story, plus directions on how to get there.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">It was a good hike in general, nice steady 30-45 minute walk up the incline on fire roads until you get to the very long steps down.</span><br />

I decided to take my Hasselblad out for this adventure. It's a 500C/M with the older C mount 80mm F2.8 Planar and older A12 back. I've had the camera for about 14 years, originally for doing commercial work. I hardly shoot with it anymore, but thought taking this little tank on a nice long hike would be a good change of pace. I also brought my modified Holga (done by Randy at <a href="http://www.holgamods.com/" target="_blank">Holga Mods</a>, 2ft min focus, F5.6/8 mod) plus some very expired films. I used 12+ year expired Kodak 160NC Portra for the Holga and 12+ year expired Fuji Provia RDPII chrome film and some super old 22+ year expired Kodak VPH400 color negative film (rated it at 250) for the Hasselblad. Got some interesting results and color shifts with these films. The Fuji film was thin, with a warm/magenta cast, but still had a lot of information and detail. Not sure if rating the film slower or processing differently would change that, I also suspect the development time could have been longer. The really old Kodak film probably should have been rated at 200 and even pushed a tiny bit in processing. They were a bit dark and had a very blue green shift in color. A lot of this can be corrected fairly well, and yet still show that its a aged film.<br />

I found that using the Hasselblad out in the field like this was a lot more fun then I had expected. Good padded neck/shoulder strap and carrying in hand at the same time was a good balance for not much wear and tear on my back/shoulders/neck. Also, packing a light backpack was essential. For once, I traveled light and only brought what I needed.</div>

This was a cool photo adventure with such an interesting mix of history and nature. I recommend going in the morning though and taking your time. It's a great hike, with beautiful views. So close yet far away from L.A. <span style="text-align: left;">There and back with some time to wander, shoot and have a quick lunch break all in about 4 hours. We did miss the old iron gate entrance and water tower. The walk back up of those steps was a thigh burner! Great work out, but tough.</span></div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">This is really nice stuff! It develops very quickly compared to all the other Impossible films. The tones are a much truer black and white with a nice amount of detail/sharpness and handles gradation and skin tones wonderfully. Although it does seem to be a little fast speed wise. Depending on your cam you'll need to darken the exposure wheel slightly. It is noticeably more stable, temperature wise, or at least a greater range it seems. Still shifts to a warm tone if warm enough out and it does shift slightly over a few days or so to a more brown tone. Nice thing is since it develops so quickly you can scan it much sooner then later to preserve that initial black and white tone. Quite pleased with where Impossible has gotten this film. Great job guys. This test batch of film was released only a few weeks before the first public release went on sale, but it seems to be pretty close to the same.

I learned of your passing from my iPhone and breaking news app. Even this post is coming via a blog app on my iPad. My work, creative and personal life are surrounded by your products and have been for some time. From that very first PowerBook with a scroll ball pad I used back in 1994, I knew this was something truly different and just made sense. You have changed my life as well as millions around the world.<br /><br />Rest in peace.<br /><br />"Stay Hungry.

Lots of great, inspiring instant goodness. I always find myself impressed with the unique and many many different ways one can use instant film to express themselves. These were my 10 shots.

Quite happy with it though. Nice washed out tones. I believe I chilled it briefly in a cold cold clip. Shot with a Polaroid SX-70 Sonar OneStep camera.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
