Belleville BBQ …

You didn’t think I could go anywhere without some B&W film did you?

A Leica, a 50 and a couple of rolls of Tri-X are all you ever need …

Wrapping up the Marin/Sausalito/SF spring break series with some cute kids …

Spring break, NoCal style …

I’m going up the country, baby don’t you wanna go
I’m going up the country, baby don’t you wanna go
I’m going to some place where I’ve never been before
I’m going, I’m going where the water tastes like wine
Well I’m going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time …

Well, there wasn’t much drinking going on, us being mostly teetotalers and all, but

we felt like we were a world away in the Marin headlands over spring break.  This is

one of the buildings on the site, a former army base, that’s now been converted to an

artists’ residence and studio complex.  I’m not much of a landscapist, but the lovely

soft tones of the Portra film lend themselves nicely to the subject.

Cat pester-er pt. 2 …

B&W and a few “antiqued” conversions.  I usually loathe the desaturated/hand colored look but Ava’s skin

has such a porcelain glow that I couldn’t resist …

Best of 2010, pt. 2 …

Filed under: Art, Families, Friends, Lenses — Tags: , , , , , , — Chris @ 8:07 PM

Had a great session with Krysty and Nyack towards the end of the summer.  Nyack gave me some

great attitude, a nice change-up from the usual sweet kid shots.
