the old rum factory - the world could end and those girders would remain standing - how curious it is that we can build things that last forever and yet the one thing without which we cannot live is being destroyed at a rate that would suggest infinite reserves

Old Lyme, CT September 2025

Along the coast of California's Highway One there are many, many places to pull off and explore the rocks, wonder about the sea, watch for whales, seals, huge brown pelicans, and the furtive crabs. Here, the sea and rocks contend over long ages, though these are obviously rather new to the game.

 

One of my favorite lines from any song is when the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz sings, "Oh I, can tell you why, the ocean's near the shore..."

 

May you too, find your mind's eye view of mother ocean...

 

as an example, as I was taking this, I met another lad, scrambling around on the rocks, looking... Chris Axe apparently saw this scene in color... :)

Amanda and I were married at the Anderson Japanese Gardens on October 20th this year. Traditionally, the Gardens haven't been a great location for large format photography as they don't usually allow tripods. This year they instituted a pilot program and they allowed tripods in the afternoons on Wednesdays in October. I took advantage of that and brought out my LF gear the Wednesday after our wedding.

Toyo 45F+X-ray film (Fujifilm)

I have got a Leitz medium format projector on a flemarket with this monster of a lens on it. It should cover up until 5x7. I have afapted it to a custom made Linhof size board. It is challanging to shoot with it as it has no iris nor shutter. But it is unique for sure. I will share some results with it.

Tangmere is where the famous WW2 pilot Douglas Bader flew many of his missions. This was shot on a Wista 45DX with a small amount of front rise to keep the verticals straight.

Justin is the Creative Director of Chichester Festival Theatre. I couldn't photograph him in the auditorium of the theatre because final rehearsals for the opening play of the festival were underway. So I decided to use the communal orchard alongside the theatre that was in full bloom at the time.

The scan is reversed. The light was actually on the camera right. Setup was an Elinchrom strobe with a Deep octa camera right (flagged to keep the light of the background) - a gridded spot on the backdrop for some texture. And a SB900 on the floor camera left at 1/16 for a bit more detail in the dark areas.

Large format really shows me how easily I can become distracted despite slowing down and really looking around me. I missed a shot because other hikers wanted to interact as I was setting up a shot, and I totally screwed up and missed it since I lost my concentration. I'll go back (hopefully!) to see if I can recreate the shot. But I so value LF since it makes me more observant, and the details are just incomparable. This is the last of my expired HP5 so will need to pick up some more 4x5 - I'll be finishing up my Ultra 8x10 soon as well, so time to find deals on film! Thanks to all the flickeranians who continue to inspire!
