Canada, and Ojai

Hans says: well it has been a while, or at least it feels like it. so much is in flux. i am getting very little sleep, and am right now in a moment to myself which almost does not happen anymore for better or for worse. today was day two of the cabrillo dental hygiene program orientation. fuck my life its going to be brutal. here are three photos. the first is the ol infinite horizon road thing with some low laying fog. shot in canada on expired Portra 160NC with my Mamiya 6. The Mamiya is a wonderful system and I love it very much, however this specific camera underexposes my photos. The first rolls i developed through it i thought i had just made incorrect exposures, but now i know i have to make an adjustment on the camera. the result has been super thin negs which make it a pain in the butt to print in the darkroom, and yield crappy scans that need a lot of post work. this can be seen specifically in trees of the second photo which is tentatively titled "Turtle: The CamoCat" her markings make it ideal for hiding as she is sitting below a tree in my mothers backyard that is frequented by bald eagles. The third photo is in Ojai, CA. Same film type, same camera. Subject is the Matilija Dam with graffiti. Seth, Noriah, and myself took a drive up there. Seth and I jumped in the water behind the goddamn dam. It was cold, but then again it was February 9th. 

P.S. school has started, so ill hopefully be posting a bit more as ill be shooting and printing more.
