80's

Shot from a 80's/Prom-themed bday party I shot a couple weeks back.




JUMP!

Yeah, yeah. I know, more pictures from the Bfields...ohhhh well.






Good times.

Random shots from today. Few taken from my car.

So. Apparently I've decided against shutting the blog down completely, yet there will be a change, one that probably few of you care about but it will be, nonetheless, a "change."
Climbing shots will still be on here quite often. The only "real" change will be that I will definitely NOT be posting some of my pictures that I consider my "real work", whatever that is. I am working on a couple of projects, which fall into the category of "real work" I guess, so those images will not be put on my blog. I do not want those "good images" floating around the internet, or seen really.....not until these projects are finished. So..there. Again, enough rambling, picture time...

Dave on a pretty classic "new" rig at the Bfields, shots taken with another new camera/lens combo. I'm digging it.

Well, here's some random images taken over the past few days.....all film, shot with a few classic, vintage (in some cases, cheap) rangefinder cameras. One turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise, with an incredibly sharp, fast 35mm fixed-lens!
It has become my primary camera as of late. It's small size, fast focusing and QUIET shutter makes me take it everywhere. Not to mention the quality of the pictures in color and b&w....especially b&w.
Blah, enough rambling, I doubt any of the above matters or means a thing to most people, but maybe the pictures will....

Oh, and yeah, a lot of the pics are grainy, especially the b&w shots but I like grainy b&w, so there.

This "blog" will cease to exist in one week. No mas! There will not be a new one or one that replaces this one so I guess that is all. Hasta luego and au revoir.

Some random color/bw film shots from the past week or so.

Few more shots from last week at the Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Arkansas.

Some shots from Arkansas this past week...

Benito coming close on "the process" despite the warm temps.



I need rest days.

Random shots from I-459.

The work has begun on what will be a definite safe haven and training ground for B'ham climbers. Psyched!
Seriously grateful for those who are making it happen. This really is gonna be great thing for locals climbers and a good place for the newbies to learn a thing or two.....or three.

Here's a couple of shots from a brief visit this past weekend.

Really, really psyched about the facility since I know those involved will make it nothing less than amazing. Gonna be great to have a place to climb during the nasty summer....which is rapidly approaching I'm afraid.


In other news, I finally sent off my application/portfolio to NYC photo-school. Now it's time to just sit back and wait to hear if I made it or not.

Ben, the winner of Chalky Dreams 09 (pfft), eating his usual PB&J. He was done so early I didn't get many shots of him climbing...oh well, I don't care.



Good Job Benito.
