I took this image a few years ago. Jed Best was also at the meal. We were having lunch we had just spend a few hours smoking cigars and telling lies. What photographers of a certain aage do. So back to lunch, I was screwing around with the focus of the camera when jay turns to me and say" You gonna take the fucking picture or watch TV" I may have pressed the shutter but he took the picture. The impact that this man has had on me as an artist truly has no measure. When the film shoot wraps this weekend the first place I am going on Sunday is to Jay Maisel's studio to smoke cigars and tell lies.

-Sir Terry Prachertt

Sometime the simple act of walking leads you into a daydream and when you come back to work on the image you find yourself waking up in a deeper dream.

There is no camera system that is a better or more powerful one than. the Z9.

Shot with the AMAZING Z9. The Z9 is more camera than I am photographer.

This a view with a room.

The secret to doing great portraits is to shoot your porteaits like landscapes. The secret to doing great landscapes is to shoot your landscapes like portraits.

You are only as good as the subject that is in front of you.

There is a powerful advantage to a camera that can focus at the speed of life and that is more silent than a breath held expectant and has a frame rat faster than your nervous system can register.

You can truly create a place when and where the spirt of the subject can hide in your camera.

There is no camera system that has a better or more powerful one. This image was was shot using highlight center metering.

From my latest trip to Cuba.... Street People

I shot this with the Nikon Z7 and the 24-70mm S series lens.

The Z system is simply best of class. The quality of the file and the perfection of the color coupled with the new lenses sharpness, just a joy to shoot. Enough with the commercial...

BLACK AND WHITE VERSION

I was walking down the street after walking the streets, 12 miles by this point (thank god for the healthcares program on my iPhone I suppose) It was hot, humid, I was hungry and thirsty and done.

I was ASO (All Shot Out)

And then I was taken. I try to create images that put the viewer in the same place the moment I was taken by the moment.

Post Cards from the vacation that is my life. the "I have been some remote placeless but....... " section

This is from my most recent trip to Myanmar. I traveled 36 hours of flying (not including layovers) then 16 hours by 4 wheel drive to travel 58 miles in to the mountains of Nagaland to attend the New Years festival.

There are approximately 95 Naga Tribes in Nagaland. They are a hunter gatherer / slash and burn culture. Up to 1985 they were headhunters and and practiced cannibalism. Which would give me pause if I was told they want me over for lunch. The New year's festival is in part a celebration to comrade the ending of those practices and the embracing of a more spiritual path.

IAs I work on my FOTOmentor award show "Post Cards From the Vaction that is my Life" I get to relive the best moments. This image is of the temple of 10,000 Buddhas It was shot with a D600. I completely forgot about this image. I was on assignment for American Photo to shoot a piece on Myanmar in infrared. So i really wasn't paying attention to the color stuff. The thing about working as a photographer when the art director and editor say we go all we need, you move on. So going back is a real luxury and treat

Post Cards from the vacation that is my life. the "I have been some remote placeless but....... " section

This is from my most recent trip to Myanmar. I traveled 36 hours of flying (not including layovers) then 16 hours by 4 wheel drive to travel 58 miles in to the mountains of Nagaland to attend the New Years festival.

I woke the morning I took this shot with the thermometer in the place we were all staying reading 3 degrees Celsius (37.4 degrees Ferinheight) I had put a bottle of water on the window sill when I went to bed and it was solid when I woke at 6am.

Really the only thing I like cold Is beer and ice cream and I really don't like beer. So down the dirt road we went to find warm tea and a breakfast of noodles and soup. This is the moment that took me as I walked down the road.

My dear friend Kyaw Swa Min said it best "we had crappy weather, crappy beer, crappy food a crappy car, crappy roads and a really cramped and crappy room but it was one of the best times we've have ever had"

I would do it again in s heartbeat.

More form the archives....As I work on my FOTOmentor award show "Post Cards From the Vaction that is my Life" I get to relive the best moments. This image of an Alaskan Fjord is a two image handheld pain shot from a zodiac. I was on assignment for American Photo to shoot a piece on curse lines and what they offer. I know I know I have a tough job. So i really wasn't paying attention to the bird I was more about paying attention to not falling into the water.

Sooo back to the dancers and musicians part of this broadcast..... (from my last trip to Cuba with Palm Beach Photographic Centre's Cuba workshop)

This image is of the singer Miguel Currillo Tavin of Stepteto Habanero.

You may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks but an old dog can remember cool tricks.

One of the most useful tools ison a Nikon camera is the metering system. There is no camera system that has a better or more powerful one. This image was was shot using highlight center metering. It was shot at 4500iso.

I am the recipient of the Photo Mentor award for 2019. Sir Albert Warson won it last year, Walter Ioss, Howard Schatz, Elliot Erwitt, Joyce Tenneson, Gregory Heisler are some of the other recipients.

I guess it was a slow year so they picked me.

I am in the process of printing a 200 image show (44x36) and as I am going through my 96tb archive I come across stuff I have not looked at, that took me but when the go is up... we move on to the next job.

Shot his with a D3 at sunrise on my way up the Irwaddy river during Monsoon season.

After doing that photo shoot with our friends we went back to the beach the next day to try a variation of the Footprints picture www.flickr.com/photos/bryanandjess/3883259730/

This picture took quite a bit of work to set up. For one thing, the surf kept on washing away the footprints every time we had a set made and ready to go. We tried to keep that patch of sand clean so that we could set up the picture nicely, but these big guys just walked right into our setup and stomped their way across the set! The frigging sunbounce was anchored into the water but washed away after a good amount of waves unanchored it. Bryan had to hold the doll up while standing in an awkward position, so as not to get his shadow in the picture. And I had to lie almost right in the surf to get the correct angle for this picture. I ended up walking around with a soggy shirt and pants for the rest of the day.

River is wearing a beautiful Eurotrash dress.

In a 10 day period I flew to SaltLake City, drove to Yellowstone, drove to Jackson Hole Wyoming, then to Moab then back to Salt Lake City then back to Moab then back to Salt lake City then flew to Los Angeles. I drove 2264 miles and spent 23 hours in a car. After that juggernaught I had a 21 hour turn around and flew to New York city for 7 days then back to Los Angeles (9 hour turn around and flew to Maine for a week.

This is an Infra red capture on the way to Jackson Hole from Yellowstone

portraits of the wonderful leo horn, taken on a photographyworkshop with roland guth. it really has been a lot of fun to spend the day shooting.

i have been shooting so much photos in the dark lately that it really feels great to get out in the sun for a change.

thank god, summer is coming...

This is one of the views I remember from one of the "secret" uich spots.

"Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry."

-Richard P. Feynman

This is the view from the place I stay when I am in Havana. As much as I am a fan of breakfast buffets (breakfast is my favorite meal) I am a bigger fan of being right where I want to be with a camera from the first moment I wake to the last moment I am awake.

To be clear I never crop an image. What you are looking at are two images mrged together so I can get the totlity of the view.

Yup I bit the bullet and modified a Z9 for infrared. I did a full spectrum conversion and then am using the bayonet filters from Kolarivision. Which means I can have my cake and eat it too. THe first element of the lens dictates everything that is going to happen from the quality of the light and resolution of thar light. So putting the IR filter at the end of the light path is far better than putting a filter in front of the lens. a full spectrum conversion allows me to bring my camera back to visible spectrum with a different filter as well as having every flavor of IR....coool....

There is a powerful advantage to a camera that can focus at the speed of life and that is more silent than a breath held expectant. You can truly create a place when the spirt of the subject can hide in your camera/

There is no camera system that has a better or more powerful one. This image was was shot using highlight center metering.

This is from my most recent trip to Cuba shooting for my "Turning the Last Page: of 1962" book project. I am working on three books in this series Cuba, Burma and India. I am fascinated by reflections and the abstracts that frequently occur in the objects tat are doing the reflecting. I was an absolute joy to be shooing in Cuba with the D850. I would have posted sooner, but my work laptop's hard drive decided that it was done working as I was waiting to board my flight to Havana. I have been on the road since the 8th. I have finally got my laptop to cooperate if I boot off of an external hard drive. Not the fastest way to post process a 45.7mp raw file....

the imaging pathway is as follows: Lightroom Classic was used as the browser to make selects, then using the open directly plugin for Lightroom the selected file was sent to Nikon Capture NX-D for raw conversion saved as a 16bit tiff in the Prophoto Colorspace. File was then post processed in Photoshop 2018 and the Nik Collection by DxO was used in conjunction with Photoshop to image edit this image.

“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.”

— Diane Arbus

This is an image of the Cuba ballarnia Grettell Lastre Casuso.

Of the greatest lessons I learned studying with the master acting teacher Tad Z. Danielewski was the concept of hiding in the audience. In photography, be it still or motion, the audience is in the camera. Another important life changing lesson was Viola Spolin’s concept of “the space between.” Things happen in the space between actors or in this case the photographer and the subject. If you can slow yourself down to the speed of life and insert a camera in that space you open yourself up to receive the gift of seeing the person that is hidden in plain sight by allowing it to show up in the camera.

Captured with a Z9 for modified infrared. I did a full spectrum conversion and then am using the bayonet filters from Kolarivision. Which means I can have my cake and eat it too. The first element of the lens dictates everything that is going to happen from the quality of the light and resolution of that light. So putting the IR filter at the end of the light path is far better than putting a filter in front of the lens. a full spectrum conversion allows me to bring my camera back to visible spectrum with a different filter as well as having every flavor of IR.

Thie first image from my dance with Promaster Z series extension tubes.

TI learned that when you use exertion tubes ALL lenses (even zoom lenses ) are primes. Who knew.... I used focus Shift capture to create one set of images at f1.8 and one set at f8 then combined the two to gt optimum Bokeh. too cool.

85mm 1.8 S series Nikkor lens. Lit with the light coming through my kitchen window. So Mother Nature was my gaffer.

Post Cards from the vacation that is my life. the go back and see what you missed why don't ya file. "

This from my one of my trips in 2005 to Myanmar. Soooo.... I shot this in Yangon just before one of my journeys to the outskirts of the absolute middle of nowhere and traveling back to the 19th century.

Josef Sude, one of my strongest visual photographic influences, had a practice of after developing the negatives he shhot he'd wait six months before he would print the images from those negatives. His reasoning was "so that he could see the image with eyes a new." Which is why I do not delete anything. Hard drives are cheap. So on rainy days (usually on Sundays) I go back and look at the past for things I may have missed.

I hand held this image at a 1/15 of a second. So we know vibration reduction works.... and I must have been on my first cup of coffee.

Shot with the D200 enhanced color IR modification the 28-300mm Nikkor (AKA "The Street Sweeper") my when in doubt go to lens.

rom my latest trip to Cuba.... Street People: Man sitting in chair smoking cigar.

I shot this with the Nikon Z6 and the 24-120mm lens using the FTZ adaptor.

The Z system is simply best of class. The quality of the file and the perfection of the color AND having access to all my F series lenses just a joy to shoot. Enough with the commercial...

Photography for me has always been a gift. I believe you hoNinor the giver by receivikng the gift. Every image is one that takes me. I honor the moment by allowing myself to be taken. It is in the simplest of moments that the most precious of of is is held.

"In absolute spontineity you get absolute truth. The only way you can be when you are spontenious is truthful"

-Viola Spolin

One of the core concepts of improvisational acting is the above quote. I studied acting for 17 years in undergraduate as well as graduate school.

Another core concept, this time from Tad Z. Dainelewski is the concept of hiding in the audience. When you are filming, be it still or motion, someone you want to create an environment in which the subject show the camera the someone they hide from the world.

This image is of the Guitar player Adel Nunes Castillo of Stepteto Habanero.

There is a powerful advantage to a camera that can focus at the speed of life and that is more silent than a breath held expectant and has a frame rat faster than your nervous system can register.

You can truly create a place when and where the spirt of the subject can hide in your camera.

There is no camera system that has a better or more powerful one. This image was was shot using highlight center metering.

Shot with the AMAZING Z9. The Z9 is more camera than I am photographer.

The BW version.

DANCERS!!!

I love photographing dancers, especially Cuban Ballet Dancers. Especially leaping Cuban Ballet Dancers. This is from my latest trip to Cuba.

We were on our way back from shooting dancers leaping in the street and the lights was right, the background screamed 50mm f 1.8 S lens and the leaping Oscar Tuñon Mulas and MariKarla Laguna.

Shot with the Amazing Nikon Z7 using the 50mm f 1.8 S series Nikkor lens

From one of my trips to Cuba.

I have been going to cuba for over 10 years. 16 trips. There is a melancholy beauty of urban decay.

This is why I am doing the last page project. To capture the echo of the moments of the past before they are lost to today.

Captured with the AMAZING Nikon Z6 and and my most favorite street shooting lens the 28-300mm Nikkor AKA "The Street Sweeper" using the FTZ adaptor.

This is an image from my last trip to Cuba. It is a joy to work with Cuban dancers. ( I will get back to Portugal images in a bit )

I find the older one gets the more your images are shot at eye level. I was sitting on the dance floor swapping lenses when the choreographer stopped the rehearsal to describe to the dancers what he wanted them to try for him. This is an image of resting dancer feet.

I am asked frequently when do yo know when an image should be black and white image? Simple when the color gets in the way of the gesture.

“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”

— Dorothea Lange

The Moment I opened the window of my room and looked to the right.

I bit the bullet and modified a Z9 for infrared. I did a full spectrum conversion and then am using the bayonet filters from Kolarivision. Which means I can have my cake and eat it too. THe first element of the lens dictates everything that is going to happen from the quality of the light and resolution of thar light. So putting the IR filter at the end of the light path is far better than putting a filter in front of the lens. a full spectrum conversion allows me to bring my camera back to visible spectrum with a different filter as well as having every flavor of IR....coool....
