I took my $10 Nikon film camera up in the mountains the other day for a hike with friends from Boulder. It's been a couple years since I've shot with this thing, but it never fails to produce completely unpredictable (and fun, I think) results. I wasn't planning for snowy trails, so I definitely had my frozen boots off as soon as I reached the parking lot afterwards to see if I could regain feeling in my toes (as you can see below, Georg did the same).
Despite the snowy trails, losing the trail a few miles up the mountain, a blizzard coming in during our hike, and being pretty sure that the two German guys (pictured) died trying to reach the summit ahead of myself and the two girls, I'd say it was a pretty solid hike.
Here's a preview of a film shoot with Beth this past Tuesday – this one was shot with my digital. Can't wait to get the film back. She was an awesome (and very patient) model as I struggled through getting back in touch with my clunky Mamiya medium format camera.
A quick shot of Paul, my cousin, who made the trip out to Fort Worth last night to spend some quality time. Shot this philosophizing gentleman (he's single, ladies) in the apartment studio with a simple but somewhat dramatic lighting setup – one softbox, camera left.
