Triptych - Polyptych

The first image is a stair typology. Each stair was shot at the same time of the day, and with the same measurements. I shot in Park City, UT on ISO 120 with a H-blad. It is a negative scan created on Photoshop

The second image is a bridge triptych. It was shot in Morgan, UT on ISO 120 with a H-blad. It is a negative scan created on Photoshop.

First 4x5 Moments

Hello Blog, it has been awhile.
So 4x5 shooting...
Saturday, Feb 6, 2010: Laura Lee and I had wonderful plans to go out and shoot early. And it would have gone splendid if I hadn't slept through my alarm (never underestimate the power of a junior who gets no sleep, lesson learned) Anyway, we hit the road at 6:30am. We headed down to Echo. LL Cool J got some good stuff, we had some good times. She had to get back at 9:00am, so I drove her back to her car. I didn't get anything. But I learned a couple things. 1. I need to set my alarm to the sound of car accident. 2. I learned a lot about Laura Lee's vision, which obviously is an honor. 3. It was great to watch Laura Lee work, I learned oddly enough by doing nothing. (I love when that happens). And 4. LL Cool J has mad dancing skill when U2 is on.
Sunday, Feb 7, 2010: So I went home. And I decided to go out this morning (Sunday). I woke up at 5:30am. I took my dad with me. I don't know if anyone else experiences this, but I am generally frustrated at the fact that because I am a woman, I am unable to shoot where I want to shoot alone. But that's a side note. Anyway, I drove, he brought coffee, we listened to Neil Young. We drove into Kamas, then we turned on this odd rode that leads into the backside of the Jordanelle. It was dark. I felt as though nature didn't want us there, it was too early. So we pulled into a campsite and waited. As the sky began to change from a unwelcoming black, to a warming blue, I saw my surroundings. I ended up on a semi-dried up part of the lake. My images will speak for the rest of what I saw. My shooting experience went pretty well. I messed up on my last one, I know that. I like the time it takes to get this right, it challenges me. The challenge being that it takes so long to set everything up, that by the time everything is done, you better be pretty god damn committed to the image you are taking. It was cold, kind of a side note as well, but non the less, I felt not wanted yet again. I learned a couple things. 1. Second guessing yourself in this process is crucial, following my gut in this process is a must. 2. This camera requires me to be uncharacteristically gentle with it. 3. You find a rhythm after a little while. Also a quick tribute to J-Wow, my father didn't get out of the car, but he did yell every couple minutes to make sure I hadn't fallen in the lake, and it was nice to have someone else invest time in my art.
All in all, I rate this experience at a 8.5
