Recently I visited Palm Springs, and stayed in a pretty sweet house. Coming from the cooler Boston air, and following the gloomy winter, the back garden with pool provided a comfortable bubble for a day. The sun was hot, really hot, but the temperature in the shade was perfect. The most beautiful light I’ve ever seen is the sunset in the desert, second only to the moonlight I’ve hopefully captured in this post glancing off the palm trees.
Gone are the cars on Mass Ave, replaced by kids laughing, people building snow sculptures, couples skiing, runners jogging by and everyone generally having a good time. Except perhaps the workers whose job it is to clear the snow away and get the city moving again. This won’t happen too many times in my lifetime; glad I managed to snap these pics.
Recently one mild Saturday morning the lads from Eksi Ekso and I went up to Halibut Point in Rockport to shoot their first set of promotional shots since Jacob Cole joined the band. The weather certainly was in our favor, being cloudy and mild which provided excellent conditions and soft light to capture some nice shots. Eksi Ekso’s new album ‘Archfiend’ is out 05/07/2013.
I took the Kodak Brownie out (bought from Portobello Road market) on my way to work one morning. Unfortunately the shutter is pretty worn so only a couple of shots exposed in a usable form. I guess this is another one for the shelf. I’m kind of glad it isn’t amazing because 120 film spools are slightly too big so you have to file the ends of them down for it to wind the film properly. Pretty time consuming.
The area around Cambridge MA where I live (near MIT) is a giant construction site at the moment. Here’s a snap I took with my Polaroid 250 Land Camera which I managed to get working on Friday. Due to its affordability and availability I used FUJI FP-100. I think due to the age of the camera it is underexposing, so I’m going to try to add some ND gel and see if that helps.
