A black and white square image made while standing on a cliff's edge looking hundreds of feet down at the Colorado River as it winds its way through the distant canyons and buttes of Canyonlands National Park in southern Utah.

The Colorado River at Canyonlands in Utah. Made with a #Holga camera.

I saw a small selection of his images about a half dozen years ago. I believe the color prints were C prints that had faded over the years. But they kind of matched his subjects perfectly.

Black and white square photo. A stream from a tidal pond runs through the middle of the frame. There's a calm, but slightly ominous feel from the morning's dense fog, which obscures the distant dunes.

Black and white square photo. The shadows of two figures stand on the edge of coastal sand dunes. There is an empty, bowl-shaped area in front of them and a large dune in the distance.

Black and white, square image. A bridge spans the Columbia River in Astoria, Oregon on the Pacific coast. Pilings from an old pier dominate the foreground. The image has an overall blur to it; the result of using a cheap plastic lens that was inverted before placing it in the camera.

Astoria-Megler Bridge over the Columbia River in Astoria, Oregon. I made this image using an Agfa Isoly camera with a (flipped) lens transplanted from a Holga camera. #filmphotography #Holga #flippedlens

A black and white square image mad at Cannon Beach on the Oregon coast. A sole figure stands on the shore looking out at a somewhat triangular rock formation (Haystack Rock) just off of the coast. The image has a soft, overall blur to it from using a plastic lens that had been inverted (or "flipped").

Cannon Beach on the amazing Oregon coast. I made this image using an Agfa Isoly camera that had its original lens replaced with an inverted #Holga lens. #flippedlens #filmphotography

A solitary electricity pylon stands in the middle of a vast, golden-brown field of long grass under a surreal, multicolored sky. The sky is a blend of pastel blues, pinks, greens, and yellows, with soft, streaky clouds creating a dreamlike effect. The pylon, silhouetted against the vibrant backdrop, has multiple horizontal power lines extending from either side, disappearing into the distant horizon. The field fills the bottom two-thirds of the image, with small specks of yellow flowers visible in the foreground.

"Colour from Movement" is what I "discovered" when playing with long exposure Trichromes. Moving monochrome clouds (with plenty of tones) and no blue sky over several minutes give results like the following. Forgot how fun these are.

3 x 2m exposures

Black and white square image made with a Holga plastic camera. A small abandoned house sits somewhat tilted in the dune grass near the ocean shore.

"North Rustico". I made this image with a #Holga camera before this structure was swept out to sea by Hurricane Fiona.

Even if he dies in office, the republicans will still be rolling his ass out there like some sort of "Weekend at Bernie's" movie.

A low-angle shot captures a narrow dirt path cutting through a field of golden-brown wheat, leading towards a hazy horizon. The sky above is dramatically split: the lower half is a soft blue with faint white clouds, while the upper half explodes with vibrant, psychedelic clouds in shades of pink, blue, and green, resembling an oil slick or a trichromatic effect. A few faint power lines are visible stretching across the middle of the sky. The overall impression is one of surreal beauty and a journey into the unknown.

Path Trichrome

3 x 25s exposures
Will break out the ND1000 + CPL to get those exposure times up for some more Trichrome funkiness

Black and white square image made with a Holga plastic camera. A horse's head emerges from a barn window. She is surrounded by the darkness of the barn's interior . She is wearing a fly hood and munching on a few strands of hay.

"Sassy". She is sadly gone, but she lives on in this #holga image that I made about fifteen years ago. #filmphotography

That Al Gore image by David Burnett is a great analogy. That never even crossed my mind. And I think Uncle Sam may be having some conflicting emotions these days.
