I've been [FRAMED]



I've been [FRAMED]!
A few months ago I posted here that I was selected to appear on a web episode of [Framed].  Well, the episode is finally available for the world to see.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

After watching, it's pretty obvious that I was completely out of my comfort zone.  It was a challenging day for me because asking random people for their picture isn't something I'm at all comfortable with.  However, the experience itself was awesome and the [Framed] crew was fantastic to work with.

Film Test with Rose - Seattle Musician Photos



I recently picked up some new Kodak Portra 400 medium format film.  This new version of the older Portra 400 was released last year.  I've been shooting the Kodak 160 NC for a while, but I've been hearing a lot of good things about this new 400, so I picked up a box. 

I got in touch with Rose, a talented singer/songwriter that I've known for a while and scheduled a shoot with her to test out the film.  We've had great weather here in Seattle recently so we scheduled the shoot for sunset.  Unfortunately, that evening inclement weather blew in and we had clouds, wind and light rain.  Since we all showed up, we decided to work fast and see what we could get.  It wasn't what I had hoped for, but we managed to get a few nice shots.  We'll try again at a later date.
