My art is almost always about how people experienc My art is almost always about how people experience nature. I am usually making "serious" pictures with my large-format cameras, but I often have my little Fuji digital camera with me, but it takes me even longer to look at and process those images! I've started to sort through the last few years of digital pictures and putting together some bodies of work and I thought these 3 were fun and had something to say. #photography #museums #landscapephotography
I processed another sheet from the other day. Afte I processed another sheet from the other day. After getting this one scanned and processed in Photoshop, I think I still have a lot of work to do on the image I posted on Monday! I'm not sure yet if this is the start of a new project, or just some stand-alone pictures of a fascinating place. The following is from the Forest Service Website: Gordon Hirabayashi Campground - This site is also known as Prison Camp. The site was a Federal Honor Camp beginning in 1937 to house federal prisoners supplying labor to build a road for access into the Santa Catalina Mountains. Prisoners had been convicted of federal crimes ranging from immigration law violations to tax evasion to bank robbery. During World War II, many of the prisoners of this camp were conscientious objectors whose religions prohibited them from serving in the military. Some were Japanese Americans protesting the Japanese American Relocation, the largest forced removal and incarceration in U.S. History that started after the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. Over 100,000 Japanese Americans, many American Citizens, were imprisoned in internment camps for fear they would conduct espionage and sabotage along the west coast. Gordon Hirabayashi was a senior at the University of Washington in 1942. He challenged the constitutionality of internment based on race or ancestry. He turned himself in to the FBI rather than report for relocation. He was convicted and sentenced to serve at the Federal Honor Camp in the Santa Catalina Mountains. In 1987, Hirabayashi’s case was overturned. A federal commission determined that the internment had been motivated by racial prejudice and wartime hysteria. In 1988, the Civil Liberties Act was signed by President Ronald Reagan, which acknowledged the injustice and apologized for the internment. In 1999, the Coronado National Forest renamed the site in honor of Dr. Hirabayashi and the other resisters of conscience who were imprisoned there. Dr. Hirabayashi and others attended the dedication ceremony. #5x7film #portranc400 #landscapephotography #largeformatphotography #mtlemmon #gordonhirabayashi
A new picture from the other day. Haven't shot col A new picture from the other day. Haven't shot color large-format film in like 15 years. Still have some kinks to smooth out with the new camera and processing, but the first shots are promising. This is the former site of an internment work prison that is now a campground. #5x7film #portra400 #mtlemmon #landscapephotography #largeformatphotography

Going through some old proof sheets today and came Going through some old proof sheets today and came across this picture I made 20 years ago of country musician/murderer Spade Cooley's burial chamber. He has a truly horrific story. Lots of forgotten pictures in these binders that one day I'll find a life for. #4x5film #spadecooley #truecrime

It's taken me a long time to finally get this old shed light tight, and water run out to it, and all the other things, but it now works beautifully. I'm so thrilled to be able to print in my own backyard now!

I love making pictures in Florida. We've been goin I love making pictures in Florida. We've been going to Southwest Florida for family vacations as long as I remember and my parents have been splitting their year between Minnesota for Florida for many years. We try to visit every year and I have a pretty large archive of pictures made there now. It's now both entirely exotic and so familiar now. Lots of new discoveries, but an understanding and closeness to the landscape that is so exciting for me to make pictures in. This one is from last week. #landscapephotography #8x10film #swamp #evergladesnationalpark #ilfordhp5

I tend to think of my 8x10 work as my serious stuff, but I make pretty good pictures with this camera as well! #6x7film #pentax67 #ilfordhp5 #landscapephotography

From @hernameishailey and I's California roadtrip From @hernameishailey and I's California roadtrip a few months ago. Finally getting around to processing all the film! I'm 90% sure this was taken almost exactly where the plaid pants girl picture was taken 12 years ago. This location wants to give me gifts every time I guess. #landscapephotography #6x7film #ilfordhp5 #pentax67 #seascapes
