My Rifle, my pony, my tlr...


Finally home in SNICHOPHOTO where I belong. I spent the past week driving from Maryland to California and I just flew back with a sack of negatives. So I'm developing them in no particular order, like a memory grabbag. I do miss the golden rays of California, but nothing can beat the orange lights of a photosafe darkroom.

This is one of my shots from the Grand Canyon. This one was taken on my Yashica twin lens reflex. I used a green filter to darken up the plants on the canyon, and shot this on Ilford Delta 400 for about 2 to 3 seconds. Light was fading fast, I took this image at around 7:30pm after sunset as a purple light filled the canyon and as foreign people tried to be angry in English about how the tour buses were ending service.

Got a lot more negatives to devo, so more pictures on the way!
