<p>July 4th weekend, got to spend some time with my bud Eric.
It has definitely been quite a while since I've been able to get out into the wilderness, moreover the desert... in +100°F daytime weather, we were prepared to have a small ass camp fire (in the middle of the playa), but as it turns out, it didn't go below 64°F at night, so, it was quite pleasant and we didn't end up using my firepit.</p>

<p>I really want to get out more often the rest of this year... ironically, that's happening right now with all the wildfires. I'm working for a company that provides mapping facilities for CalFire and Federal Firefighting efforts. It is very much looking to be hot fire season.</p>

I haven't shot in film for about a year, and recently, I came to acquire a new (old) camera, a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex, that's gotten me excited about film again. Since shooting with this camera, I've scanned 2 rolls of film, that I'm really excited about. I have over 16 rolls of 120mm film that need to be processed, scanned, and cataloged. So aside from my regular 8-10hr job, I will continue to work on the film I have at hand.</p>
<p>I almost forgot, I have over 20 rolls of 35mm film that has already been scanned but still needs to be cataloged. This is my life now.</p>
<p>Here's a few shots from a roll I scanned recently:</p>

Its been a little tough from taking photos everyday to not taking any at all. For the past month, I've been in a moving transition and its been quite difficult to imagine taking photos right now. This time has been a good opportunity for growth in other areas and wrapping my mind around other projects. Anyway, in the meantime, here are a some random photos I've taken from the past few months.</p>

<p>In a month or so, I'll get back to it, I still need to get about eight rolls of 120mm, most of which are probably going to cost a pretty penny (C-41 Process). I have a few other images that still need to be uploaded and re-scanned. My scanner isn't doing the best job at scanning color film the moment... so I probably should work on a budget for that.</p><p>In anycase, that's it for now I guess... until I can move and get everything back together.</p><p>Cheers.</p>Aaron Delanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15053386358125042969noreply@blogger.com1Fullerton, CA, USA33.8702923 -117.9253380000000133.764842300000005 -118.08669950000001 33.9757423 -117.76397650000001tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020485341980049291.post-18246380118641941472013-03-21T09:34:00.000-07:002013-03-21T09:34:09.935-07:00Trip to Nashville<p>Last year I took a trip to Nashville Tennessee to see miss <a href="http://www.laurapartain.com" title="Laura Partain">Laura Partain</a>.

I think everyone loves food. Its a means to its own end, it sustains and nourishes me. It can be pretty delicious, sometimes even so delectable that I'll crave certain foods every now and again. I've known a few friends who take this fondness for food to another level, becoming somewhat a connoisseur of sorts of a particular variety of beer, coffee, burger, or what have you. I tend to ask them the most about what would be an enjoyable place to eat those particular foods. After having a meal or a drink with them and figure out relatively, what their palette preference is, I begin to build my own.</p><p>I've started the same process with film. Lately I've been shooting Fuji and Ilford trying to develop a “taste”, a palette for my film preferences. I'm still getting to know these films, this is one of them:</p>
<h2>Fuji 400H</h2>
<img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8390/8549294276_5016754985_b.jpg" width="1024" height="830" alt="From the first roll of Fuji 400H I've ever used">
<p>I've heard some people describe Fuji 400H as being comparable to Kodak's Portra 400ISO. Portra is known for its pastel hues while maintaining saturation, bright highlights, clarity, grain, and ability to capture great detail. In this image, we see a structure being lit by a setting sun. It is brighter and has higher contrast values than what I would expect in Portra.</p>

<p>In shadows, Fuji's 400H has a decent amount of detail. I love how less saturated the mid-tones can be.</p>

I stood up and saw a silver car with a dent in the hood. The driver's face was pale with disbelief and expressed such shock. Her eyes were wide with terror. I could only imagine what she was thinking, <em>“did I just hit someone?!”</em> She did.</p>
<p>I loaded my Mamiya RB67, took out my light meter and began taking pictures.</p>

<p>Shortly after the accident, the police, fire department, and an ambulance arrived. The kid laid there with his eyes closed, unconscious. They were trying to get his attention.</p>

A car was slowly passing though the street, safely, approaching the stoplight. The boy darted through the alley way and was hit by the car.

<p>When I took this photo, the leaves were somewhat disorienting. They were almost at a point of being brittle. The yellow leaves swayed gently in the wind, as though they knew of their eminent demise with the passing of the season; all the while the other leaves and branches framed main leaves just fine.</p>Aaron Delanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15053386358125042969noreply@blogger.com0Fullerton, CA, USA33.8702923 -117.9253380000000133.764842800000004 -118.08669950000001 33.9757418 -117.76397650000001tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020485341980049291.post-90713467521076358622013-02-07T07:00:00.000-08:002013-02-07T07:00:05.821-08:00“The Light Falling on the Leaves”<img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8095/8447463238_3f12a8b516_b.jpg" width="900" height="900" alt="Light Falling on Leaves">

<p>He's a great actor, he actually went from one facial expression to the next. It was a fun shoot because he was really easy to work with. Here's a quick animation of part of the shoot.</p>

These two bamboo plants were taken a few weeks apart in different locations; they both came out somewhat ghostly. The first image was taken in Costa Mesa CA...</p>
<img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8377/8447459530_f24b09e1b9_b.jpg" width="738" height="900" alt="Through the Bamboo">
<p>As much as I like portraiture, I've found myself taking many pictures of plants. I take their photos like I would someone's portrait. The process is the same. I look at my subject, see if the light is right; see if the subject would cooperate; observe the subject's movements, however, in this case the subject has no free will and is easily pursuaded by the wind.</p>
<p>When I see these images, it evokes a certain longing to be free. The irony for me is that these plants don't have a sense of freedom. They can't feel it, nor are they content in one form or another. I don't believe that plants think for themselves. Maybe it was the breeze and their movement, an illusion to their somewhat passive stance, they chose to be swayed by the wind.</p>
