Some Recent Work
I have been ignoring some film for too long. I finally decided to sit down and do a little bit of scanning.
Here's the results - rough scans. They were taken while driving from Rexburg to the regional SPE meeting in Pullman, Washington, near North Fork, Idaho.
I have wanted to photograph this section of river since I first discovered it during the summer of 2004.

Nice, let's go up there when it warms up a bit.
What, so you can out do me with your camera? No, this is my little secret. ;)
I have been trying to get you up there for, oh, lets see, 2 year?!? Now you want to go, Geesh. (said with excesive sarcasim).
Wonderful light. What format is that?
Horseman 6x12 roll back on a Speed Graphics with a 65mm lens or a 123mm lens.
So tell us about the logs. Are they erosion control? They seem to be something placed by people... I like it.
I really like Andy Goldsworthy's stuff. Have you looked at it? Though not a photographer per se, that is how he documents his work.
I love Goldsworthy's work. It is great. I actually got the chance to see one of his pieces when I was visiting D.C. last spring.
I don't know the story behind the logs. I am guessing they were placed when they redid the road that crosses the stream. I think the road was rebuilt about 2 years ago. They widend and straightened the road.
This river is probably one of the last salmon spawning rivers in the area so there are probably steps to take to protect the fish. I imagine the logs are to aid the spawning salmon and the baby salmon. This is only a guess.
Regardless, it makes for a very interesting photograph. Thus Darren begging me to take him there. ;)
I'd like to see more of his work too. I should fork out some dough and buy a book.
(James posting, by the way. Forgot to sign the last one...)
You should rent a video I saw about him. I think most video stores carry it. "Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers & Tides"
What are you using to scan your images?
Right now I am just doing quick and dirty scans on my Epson 2450.
I hope to some day buy the Epson 4990 or what ever is released next.
If I were scanning these images for prints I would take a bit more time adjusting contrast, color, saturation, etc...
