Paper negative from Graflex Speed Graphic 4x5 large format camera. I think this was a one-minute exposure. I took several paper negs during this trip, and processed them when I got back home.
This was taken during the first leg of a three-day road trip from San Francisco to Portland, Oregon.
Not a normal post today. Been using my epson printer (ET-2750) for photos around the house and xmas gifts. I noticed there's a slight blueish hue to all of them (it's a little more subtle in person, my phone is exaggerating the blue here). Which is weird because none of the stickers I make using the same printer have this issue. I'm fine with the slight blueness for my house and my mom and grandma sure won't care. However, I'm considering selling prints online and don't feel comfortable with that for customers. Is it a setting I'm missing or an issue with the paper itself?
It's interesting to go back 10 years and seeing what kind of subjects I chose to photograph. My approach has changed a lot over the years, but the things I find funny have not lol
This is a really popular bridge and waterfall in my town. Many many people take photos of the waterfall year round. I myself probably have a few dozen shots of it. Every time I go by it with my camera, I try to take a shot that I've never done before. It can get boring to revisit a place with the same creative mindset. Always find new framing/composition/angles. It'll keep your mind sharp and help you appreciate the familiar in a new light.
Also, the looks I get when taking a shot like this: priceless lol
I was planning on doing a bunch of art (including some photography) over the weekend but I woke up with a horrible fever on Saturday. I'm finally able to function, tho I'm still recovering.
Here's a shot I'm not super fond of that I took earlier this summer (If I hated it I wouldn't post it, but it's okay I guess lol). I love exploring around Deception Pass despite my fear of heights. Every time I meet someone who hasn't walked it, I make it a point to go with them. Seeing their reactions is always interesting. To me, it's just another daily sight from my childhood, but to them it's a beautiful monument to human ingenuity. (Side note: I also find it endlessly funny when people from desert states like Texas are like "wow it's so green and wet here!"...well yeah, it's an island lol)
I love that these inky caps keep popping up by my house every year. They're the most interesting fungus (to me at least). Edible when young (unless you're me and can't stand eating mushrooms) and as they start to dissolve, the inky goo they secrete can be used to write with (among other uses for ink).
I hope the mycelium network for these little fellas don't mind me adding wine caps to the garden next year lol
Most people think the PNW is always rainy. What they don't realize is that it actually doesn't rain. It's more like a dense fog that ebbs and flows. I was born and raised in the middle of Puget Sound and I never saw real rain till I visited Texas as a kid.
