Part of my American Dream project.

Yesterday I had the privilege to join the crew aboard the USS Nimitz which was anchored in the East River off of Manhattan. It was a once in a lifetime experience getting to document a historic July 4th during the International Naval and Aerial Review.

I have a whole collection of waiting room pics, if you like this.

Developed with Fuji Hunt Xpress Kit and scanned with the Canon 5DS + EF 100mm 2.8L Macro

London City Airport is kind of surreal, you walk to the gates and you are right next to these big regional jets, this gate framed one nicely.

Hasselblad Xpan - 45mm - Porta 800

2-3: Ektar

4-5: Portra 160

6-8: Portra 400

9: Leica Monopan 50

The Pentax 17 has to be the best camera ever made for backpacking. I got 8x12 prints made from these and they look fantastic. I thought I would regret not having a full frame camera, but it was absolutely worth it especially in terms of saving on weight and space.

I don’t shoot portraits often, so this was out of my comfort zone. For context, my friend who does pottery asked if I could get some headshots, studio shots, product pics, etc. Some of the portraits don’t seem completely in focus. Any tips?
