Here’s Lola — in a typical stance of her’s where she just really doesn’t care what anyone thinks … her stance reminds me of those who are Stoic … she’s a great animal. Shot on film with the Nikon F100 - the leading lines of the leash adds a some interest.
Jackson Hole Wyoming
A grab shot - as most of mine are - from 2020 Aug, of my in-laws prepping their gear for the walk to the river. I can’t remember if this was the Rollei or the Yashica - but for some reason I’m thinking it was the Yashica 124G as it’s a bit easier to travel with. We were on the edge of the Teton National Park.
Developed by “theFindLab” - which is really rare for me as I’ve developed my own. But — the rolls really started to pile up and I used the quick but pay thru the nose option.
This was the same week of which my Mother in-law was bucked off of a horse and broke 13 ribs. She’s lucky to have survived - but - that’s a whole other story.
SLC Capitol Interior
Shot quite a few years ago -- Salt Lake City Capitol during a Saturday when there was no crowd. The lighting is amazing in this space. I noticed that the emulsion is damaged - either thru the scan or it was degrading upon the process of development - I don't really know which.
This was an interesting find as I was just moving to a new Mac and was browsing the photo library. It's funny how and image of which you didn't think anything of -- now -- all of a sudden grabs you.

Shot in the downtown area of Salt Lake City - SELF. With Fuji Acros 100 and Stand developed with 5% Rodinal @ 60 minute burn and scanned on the Minolta 5400.
LDS
A shot of the Twin Falls, Idaho LDS Temple - upon driving by I always love the presentation of this scene - and go figure - I'm Catholic. We can all live in harmony; right ?!?
Shot with the Nikon D3s and the 80-200mm f2.8 AF-s lens - yes - it's digital... I know right - how crazy can this post even get...

The Capitol of Utah in Salt Lake City - I would imagine there will be a flurry of activity there this week during the swearing in of Biden in D.C.
Washington Coast
Fuji Acros 100
Shot on the Washington Beach - I'm not one for centering the frame, but in this case everything fit to where there was no other option.
No crop - shot with the Rollei 6008i of which is an amazing result when you get it right upon capture.

Twin Falls Idaho
Shot in Twin Falls Idaho a few years back — film on a Nikon F100 / 35mm. I don’t shoot 35mm much very often - but I’m trying to change that and work it more. Stand development of Rodinal at 5% with a 60 minute burn and then scanned on a Minolta dimage.
No crop.
Summertime / Summer Sits
Shot on the Nikon D3s - I have to remind myself that this system is not long in the tooth of performance. 12mp should even be still respected - although I long for more mp once in a while. She sits on this elevated sudo bed and relaxes. I know - her days can be fraught with much stress - Not !
No crop.

Fuji Acros 100
Look for the scene to fill the frame -- see how your limitations will define the impact to the viewer - and then make that just as important as what your displaying - ultimately. If you have unlimited power you have limited creativity.

get Great Glass - i.e. (Lenses)
Every once in a while I get reminded that great glass is not only a gift but it's a necessity. It's a necessity in order to separate you from everyone else - it's a necessity to give your images the power of a compelling view. Get great lenses - even if it's just one - get one - and shoot that system like you are going to die tomorrow.
