from the Clay Street Shoot yesterday

I met up with a great make-up artist (MUA) Kelli Gasaway, she put together this fun shoot tonight in SE PDX. Kelli has a good eye and a clear vision. Keep an eye out for her, she’ll be working on some great projects.

The editing process is always a chore. I look forward to the editing my images after a shoot. For a photographer, it’s probably the most part of the learning process. So these are a quick 20 that I like, but I could change my mind tomorrow.
Thanks to Berg for rolling in late to assist me!

This little place here in St. Johns is just kinda sitting there, the paint starting to peel away. No one lives here, but I imagine the next occupant will paint the place.

and a roll of Fujifilm Acros 100.

I really like this film. A very sharp black and white film and very smooth. I processed processed in D76. This film scans very and I put it right up there with TMax100.

The Rollei35 is a wonderful “Decisive Moment” kind of camera. This is not a beginners camera. While it very easy to use, reacting quickly can be difficult. There have been several versions, my favorite version is the 35S with the top mounted match needle meter. With this camera I could meter ad not have to bring the camera to my face, thus not calling attention to myself. The 35SE has LED lights in side the viewfinder. My 35SE is all black, which looks awesomely sleek.
