I met Naomi and John last summer and we met for an engagement session up at Lake Alpine–where they have a cabin in the woods. The week of the wedding, Naomi surprised John with a hot air balloon ride out in Fernley, Nevada. Riley and I went out to make some photographs and got a lucky ride in the balloon and made some fun photos and some video of our crash landing. Two days later, TJaye and I got to photograph their wedding at Round Hill Pines. These two are beautiful!
Since we moved to Washoe Valley in March of 2008, I’ve been making an effort to make photographs of this beautiful place for a future exhibit and possible book. It has so much character: a lake, streams, sand dunes, desert, forests, mountains, boulders, ranches, cattle, horses, and I haven’t even begun to photograph on the East side of the lake…
I made these two images on my new Hasselblad camera. The images were made on Kodak Tmax 100 and Fuji NPC 160.
A quick thought about film and prints:
Film and paper prints are made from organic materials (pretty much) and digital images are “virtual” and don’t really exist anywhere until they are processed onto a tangible object like paper. As an artist who began making photographs before digital was viable, I have a greater appreciation for what the image looks like on paper than what it looks like on a computer screen…perhaps I’m just old school
