This past sunday I had a gig shooting a jazz jam session at Chianti in Beverly. I normally don't listen to jazz, but I loved it. Everything these musicians did was golden. I know I don't really have a good taste in music, thats what I am told, but these musicians new how to play and convey emotion with their instruments and words. I will be going back too see these guys sing and play soon!
For my film guru's, this was all shot on my Nikon F5 with a nikkor 85mm f1.4 lens and a sigma 28mm f1.8 lens all on kodak portra 400 pushed two stops in development and rated 1600 in camera. I metered for the midtones with my spot meter and shot. Some shots I used flash bounced over my shoulder, set to manual at 1/64th power.
I still can't get over how good this portra 400 held up. It was dark in here and the red stage lights were not that bright. This film is like gold!
Film was hand developed at the Finer Image photo lab in Danvers, Ma and scanned by them as well. These are straight scans. Special thanks to johnny Argudas who came down to shoot some rolls too!

From my day in the lovely city of Charleston, on a city walk and beach run.
All images fuji reala 100 and kodak portra 160.
I saw this gentleman walking around with this crucifix and had to hope out of the truck on the highway, in the rain to get this shot.

I really enjoy all of these shots, Joseph, and especially the boys playing in the fountain. There really is a specialness to film. Your particular touch with it makes it all the more special. Re: the man with the cross: In the late 60's and early 70's, a man named Arthur Blessitt also pulled a cross across much of the USA and stopped to conduct rallies in various cites. He added wheels to his cross because he said that he soon discovered that the cross was being ground away by the pavement. Enjoyed your site very much!

I had the chance to visit some close friends in South Carolina a little while ago and while down there took the chance to do some exploring. I"ll post a few entries on this, but for now here is a glimpse at some of the die hard shrimpers that work really hard to get us our shrimp cocktail.
