Log : Progression this week is in the form of the low end of my images. I've been combining a few things together to figure out what type of "punch" my main style should have. I'm leaning into a bit of what I experienced shooting Kodak Vision 3 500T, and some of what I've learned from Walter Volpatto. I also used tools from the homie Kaur in DaVinci Resolve.
These images were captured using the Arri Alexa XT Plus, and the Voigtlander 28mm f2.8.

Grandma's 88th. She used to be a photographer back in Trinidad. When she moved to Canada more than 50 years ago, someone went out of their way to burn all of her old albums. From then she stopped carrying a camera with her, but the practice was picked up by my father, and then by myself and my cousins. When we were talking the other day, she was grinning ear to ear, happy that everyone could be there, and that we kept taking photos.it. Lately I've been shooting more film. Along with that comes processing some of the older rolls I've had in my cameras.
Here's a bit of 35mm Kodak Vision 3 500T. Shot this on the Nikon F5 with Voigtlander glass. The frameworks that we live in , in large part are given to us.
Later, a form of liberation comes at the moment when we understand that it's all custom. Remember that in large part you can build your day to day structure targeting the lifestyle first and reverse engineering the other aspects around that day to day flow. It may not always be easy , but life tends to bend over time to a well laid out and followed plan. If unplanned, the odds of attaining an objective fall to near zero. Aim true, and remember that success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. It's a habit and a commitment, not simply a checkpoint. As this season of shoots starts to pick up , I'm spending a little more time running tests.
Although I'm sure in my skill set, I always like to run through scenarios a few more times to keep creative. Happy to own this kit.
Shot on voigtlander lenses Open Gate 28mm f2.8 & 58mm f1.4 Anamorphic 50mm f1.8 nikon + Sankor 5e + Rapido FVD 24a One of the most important things in life is to know where you do and don't fit.
Kind words , praise and high fives, don't translate to an abundant life. They are great bonuses, but in order to be effective and stable in the long term, the most important factor is positioning. If you find a space in the world, on the internet etc, where people value what you do correctly, and you can deliver to them consistently and at a quality standard that makes their lives better , you'll be set. Ignore what they say, watch what they do. The actions of people show how they value you.
It's been a long long time since I've gone to a concert.
Happy to be back. Shot on my Google Pixel phone. This is probably one of the last rolls I'll put through this Nikon F3 for a while.
