“Integrity”
I love the interplay of colors, forms and textures in this scene, especially the subtle pastel oranges and pinks of the sandstone paired with the vivid greens of the plant. To me, a lonely isolated plant growing in the desert evokes a similar emotional connection to that of a solitary tree growing in a large field. We identify with strength in adversity, with standing alone amidst all opposition, with finding success in the midst of failure. And for me, that is the human connection in this image.
Backstory: A bit over a week ago, I met up with Corey Dorsey, another large format landscape photographer from southern California, in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to photograph the wildflower bloom. After spending the early morning hours making exposures out in the flower fields, the temperature began to climb. At around 10am, it had reached over 90 degrees F, so we decided to head out to the washes and make our way up into one of my favorite slot canyons to look for compositions there in the cool, shaded depths of the canyon. This is an area I’ve explored numerous times, and every time I go, I manage to find something new to photograph or to create a better take on something I’ve photographed before. In this case, as we walked through the canyon, this lonely plant growing seemingly right out of the sandstone caught both of our attention, and we decided to photograph it. I used my @intrepidcameraco 2nd-gen 4x5" Field Camera, Fujinon W 180mm ƒ/5.6 lens, and @fujifilm_profilm Provia 100F color transparency film. Corey used his very similar setup, a Toyo 4x5 field camera, Fujinon W 150mm ƒ/5.6, and Fuji Velvia 50 to make his image. I continue to fall in love with the way large format film renders these intimate nature scenes, and look forward to making a large print of this one to hang in our home.

Dynamite Girl & FR2 not shown
FR 1.0 (2001/2002) – The first body used in the line; you can easy spot these as the arms have no articulation and the hip joints can only move forwards and backwards.
FR 2.0 (2005) – Articulation in the elbow and the mid-upper arm was added to the body in 2005
FR-Tall (FR 3.0) (2007) – The ladies got longer legs and lost the mid-upper arm ability to spin. The forearm sculpt was also updated, give the models longer arms as well.
FR 4.0 “Handspeak”, the ability to remove and change hands, was added to the body type in 2011.
FR2 (FR 5.0) (2010) – The body got a complete (nearly?) makeover with a brand new silhouette that we now know and love.
FR2013 (2013) – The FR2 had a change to the knee joints in 2013, resulting in the FR2013 body, and became explodable in 2014.
FR6.0 (2017) – The sixth iteration of the Fashion Royalty body simply removed the waist joint.
