   You make the ordinary look extraordinary.

   I wouldn’t have been brave enough to get that close to that dead bird. Eww!

   Anne, the up side of dead ones is that they don’t shit on me in the park.

   Great Set! I just got my own Hexar AF and was curious what film you are using. Also, what scanner do you use to post the pictures. They look fantastic and I would love to get a similar richness in my captures!

   Debra, I shoot %95 of my work on Kodak Tri-x 400. That goes for fashion, portrait, street. I may do a post in the future about my work flow in detail, but I’ve yet to do so b/c my process is always changing and being tweaked to get closer to what I want. With that, to date, Tri-x is one constant (well, sometimes Plus-x too).

   Scanner is a Nikon film scanner or drum scans if there’s a budget or a big print is to be done.

   It’s good to look at others work and try to understand how they’re doing it (especially with lighting), but my one piece of advice (not that you asked for it) in the matters of equipment/film/etc, is to reduce things to the basics and keep it that way until you know it in and out. One film + one developer, even one lens if you can get away with it…shoot this for a few years, and if you’re like me you’ll see that after a couple 1000 rolls you’re still only just touching on the possibilities of the combination. If you’re a street shooter Tri-x or HP-5 are the obvious choices. Either one will keep you busy for a lifetime. But that’s the default, Trent Parke shoots pushed FP-4, and his work is pretty good, to say the least.

   And enjoy that Hexar AF! Phenomenal camera.
