Delphic.

Saw these guys last sunday, pretty epic to say the least. An epic set of tunes and a very clever marketing technique have made these guys big quickly. Well worth a look.

Basilico.

Recently re-discovered my love for the series - Silicon Valley, 07 by Gabriele Basilico. I saw the exhibition at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) 2 years back and WOW! Its epic. I purchased the book early last year and it is just short of incredible. Amazing survey of an area of total unfamiliarity by one of the greatest Urban Landscape photographers. Well worth a look.

Snow!

An epic little video by high-rolling death defying photog/video guru that goes by the name of Mickey Smith. Fun and well worth the watch.

Football.

As much as i dislike the sport itself, i have an ongoing passion of floodlit pitches at night. I managed to find a really nice all-weather set up on the way out of Plymouth at Laira Community College. I set up my camera about an hour and a half before dark and took a few shots, on medium & large format (all on my Sinar f2 54 camera). I kept playing around with lenses and formats until it got dark and managed to get a pretty cool triptych using the three 5x4 shots i took. As Darkness Falls... The last two shot on roll film in a 6x9 back.

Quarries.

Managed to get myself out into the hideous winter weather to take this shot at home over the Christmas period.
Shot on Kodak Portra 160nc 5x4 sheet film.

DUST.

As far as photographing large format goes..

Its ridiculously expensive
Its pretty damn awkward
Its heavy
Its very time consuming

and

most of all

Its impossible to get a dust free image while trying to juggle all the other things going on.

Here is a wonderful shot i managed to get right a few weeks back in Bristol. Turns out its got some sort of ridiculous piece of hair on the neg.

Sucks, but these are the things that you learn from. Next time i know DUST is even more of a priority than before.

Check the detail of this beast in the second image.

EDGAR MARTINS

Incredible.

Got to get his books asap.
