Field notes

Short notes on travel, photography and long winters.

Light in November

November

The days are short now and the light comes in low and golden for a few hours. Most of the photographs this month were taken between eleven and two, when the sun barely clears the roofs.

On slow film

October

Shooting at ISO 50 forces a different rhythm: a tripod, a cable release and a lot of waiting. The results are worth it — fine grain and a tonal range that is hard to get any other way.

Notes from the road

September

Long drives, a few small towns and an unexpected river crossing. More pictures will follow once the films come back from the lab.
