everybody loves the sunshine. Bonjour champions, spartans, incroyable’s and exciters riders fighters and biters. It is about 1250 in the am and in the morning I am going to the east coast for a couple weeks but I will be posting. Over the last 3 or so weeks I have collected 50 or so images that are ready to be shared. I have taken notice that I photograph alot of the same people but who cares. Some of these places and faces you have seen before and some you have not. All photos are with the M6 and 28mm summicron. I dare you to find a sharper piece of glass. double dog dare.
Every person in every one of these frames means alot to me and I didnt realize it until i posted them. Its funny. I need to hang out with more girls in the daytime or under more photographic conditions. Anyways here you go…All of these photos are in black and white, you can’t handle the color work.
Thats my left arm struggling with Trixi, while I had my camera held up to my eye with my right arm. Focus was set for 2.5 feet Neopan 400 F11 at 1000th or something like that. Basically this sums up the last 3 weeks of my social life.
These next shots are on some beautiful ass shit. Ilford 50 is really nice film. My little brother “bud.
Norman. This is my family, he is really one of the greatest individuals I know and an incredible storyteller, whats best about his stories is that they are all true.
My grandfather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok ill share another one of Big Norm (he’s like 6′4) and his tattoo which is personally awesome.
My mother wore polka dots to a funeral. it was amazing, they were black of course.
Pops looking regal
Both of my brothers. I threw the ball at Bud with hopes he would throw it back at me so I could make this shot. i knew he would throw it at me to try and ruin it, but i flipped it on his ass and the ball makes it for me. Also pictured is a sick and sleeping Kio, my other brother.
That’s the end of the ilford fitty. The rest is Neopan 400….I forgot what was happening here but i think he was disgusted.
oh wait, this is ilford 50. TTTHHHHIIIISSSSSSSSS FOOL is really a brother for life. w/out him i would be much shittier at pool and without alot of laughs and no place to go swimming this summer.
Chip Williams, smartest person you don’t know. Think about that.
These two are troublemakers. They are sisters, Fabi and Jazzy.
Ok back to Big Norm (and the ilford fitty), I couldn’t leave this one out. This is what happens when you wait. When you stick a camera in someones face and they dont smile, just look at them weird and they’ll start cracking up. notice the elton john glasses. did I mention he is from Oakland? Just pretend it’s me smiling at you.
Next time is color.
