Glen Eyrie Like You’ve Never Seen it Before

I don’t shoot many landscapes. But last weekend I spent a hour or so walking around the amazing property of The Navigators’ Glen Eyrie with my camera. I really try to shoot things that I wouldn’t find in a place’s brochure or calendar or something like that, and hopefully with the limited time I had there I managed to grab a few that haven’t already been shot a million times. If not, I had fun anyway. What a cool place–and to think it’s very nearly in my own backyard!

Burkina Faso in Color

Recent assignment: Burkina Faso. Shot a roll of color (and a roll or two of black and white–will show a few of those in another post). Here are a couple that I like on the color roll:

A Cold and Rainy Paris

Stopped by Paris on my way to an assignment in Africa; saw a couple of cool shots. Nikon F5 with Tri-X; gritty! I never seem to get tired of shooting in this city…

Guatemala

Catching up on posting a few images from 2010 trips, which proved to be a busy year. These are a few shots of various people and places around Guatemala from a May 2010 assignment. I used my trusty Nikon F5 and Tri-X 400 film. Still really love doing that. Next post will likely be film from latest trips to  Paris, Burkina Faso, and Kenya. Stay tuned for that.
