Large Format Camera Portrait

I pulled my old Cambo 4×5 out of the closet last night to start using some of the Fuji instant film I bought recently. Of course, there was a time when 4×5″ wasn’t considered large format at all, and I’ve still got a few friends who shoot 8×10″ when they can.

Anyway, I thought it would be a good time to take a portrait of a camera with window light.

Fuji Instant 4×5 One Shot – Heather

Fuji is discontinuing the last large format instant film available. So I’m going to buy a bunch and use it to take some portraits. Same framing, same lighting, different people, but only one frame per person and I’m going to post them all.
The first is of my best friend and lovely partner Heather.

Kaytee Doll

Had lunch with my friend Kaytee on Tuesday. Some studio pictures led to some experimentation. She’s a good sport. Here are the results.

Day 318: The Brits and their Chocolate Cream Pie

When they asked what dessert they could make I recalled my childhood when my mother would make a chocolate cream pie from boxed chocolate pudding. Figuring that would be fun, interesting, easy, and very American I put it to Craig and Lisa as a suggestion. Instead they did some internet research and spent four hours on a from scratch chocolate custard pie with three types of organic chocolate, never understanding my original intention of making it easy and campy for them. Only when the whole thing was coming together at the end did they realize that they could have just used pudding. As Lisa later recounted, “It’s fucking chocolate pudding!”. It however tasted so much more amazing than that, so today I’M thankful for the misunderstanding.
