Roll Back Time
One roll of film....6 destinations, two states, two countries, over 10 months. Mountains, waterfalls and sunsets. Forest details and foreign lands.
One of the biggest selling points when I purchased my Hasselblad a few years ago, was that it has interchangeable backs....of which I have three. I usually have one loaded with 160 color negative film, one with black and white of some sort (400 or pushed a couple stops to 1600), and one with positive slide film (Provia or Velvia). I don't always (and in fact very rarely) carry all three backs or even two.....but it's nice to have options. The slide film back is my least used....but often most valued. The films require precision and adjustments while shooting, and additional time and considerable monies to develop. But the results can be spectacular, full of color and almost void of grain.
I recently got this roll back from the lab. Loaded in a film back, this roll traveled over 6200 miles....and that is just where I made exposures. I had no idea of its contents or quality...but have been enjoying the surprise.
This is one of the first images made on this roll of Provia 100F. The third evening of a backpacking trip up in the Mt. Baker Wilderness. Looking over the valley, watching the sky change colors and the sun drop below the mountains. Over 10 months from light hitting this frame to me posting it now....all the while hanging out in a little black box, waiting for it's chance to shine.
