trouble coffee
This has been sitting in my library for a little while now. It was actually shot in the “summer.” I quote summer because for those who live in SF, we know that when the rest of the hemisphere enjoys sun, heat, and clear skies, we have cold, fog, and wind. Portra 800 and Contax 645 dev/scanned at RPL.

2011 Runoffs
I recently took a racing trip with my Dad to Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. It’s about an hour north of Milawuakee and sits on a beautiful 650 acre plot of land. The track itself is four miles long and is all about horsepower and high-speeds. A great place to have a race. I wanted to chronicle more of the journey from “home base” at our shop...

Beauty and the Beast
Not sure who said race cars don’t have a sense of beauty to them. Ever seen a Le Mans prototype or Formula 1 car? There is no doubt an aesthetic that follows the physical form of the vehicle. A blog post will follow with more shots from above. Stay tuned!

girls just wanna have fun
Ashley came to San Francisco to visit Jen for a weekend. On her last day here we had amazing weather and after a day in the park, we strolled around the Mission. Luckily we remembered this rad alley so out came the camera. Talk about a totally impromptu photo sesh that ended up being a lot of fun!

summer in sf
Well, it’s summer in San Francisco. So while the rest of the world enjoys blue, sunny skies, we get to enjoy… Fog. Wind. And generally mild temperature. Here’s to us SF’ers who make the most of it!! Credit to Jen for the last photo… Such a great shot of me, it had to be included.

mollusk surf shop
I have to say, this is one rad surf shop. It seems most surfing-centric retail stores lately cater to the über trendy with big names and whatnot. Not Mollusk. These guys know what’s up and their shop is a reflection for their love of surfing. Sure, they have the names everyone is familiar wtth but they also have items that are off the beaten path that are, quite frankly, much nicer...

the general store
Probably one of the best-kept secrets in San Francisco lies in the Outer Sunset district. Perhaps you should google the title of this post and pay a visit. You will not be disappointed.

the fourth of july
Though it’s been a few weeks since we celebrated our nation’s “birthday,” I am just now getting to these images to post to the blog. It was a quaint 4th with just a handful of good friends, new and old. For Emily and Oli, it was their first time in SF since being children. They’re grown New Yorkers now but SF still managed to show them a side they didn’t...

woodside
I was invited down to Mr. Thomas Johnson’s house a few weeks back to shoot around his property. Each day Thomas will send out his “Garden Shot of the Day” email with an artful photo of anything from his garden. He’s quite the accomplished photographer so I didn’t hesitate to pack a couple rolls of Portra 160, 400, and TMax in 120 and 220 variants. ...

norcal coast and camping
Finally went camping in Big Sur a couple weeks back with some friends. What’s not shown here is that Rebuck and I went to Laguna Seca earlier in the day to watch Ferrari’s. It was amazing. And so was the subsequent drive down the coast. A great weekend.

austin healey 3000 mk2
For some reason, we got the bright idea to get up at 5am on a Sunday to shoot video of this Austin Healey 3000 Mk II. Luckily, it was a gorgeous morning in San Francisco. I packed the Leica, Canon Elan 7e, Contax, Ilford XP2, Portra 800, and Fuji 400H. Richard Photo Lab just doing wonders on these scans again. Brotogs, check us out on at facebook.com/brotogs, we’re always...

glen of imaal terrier meetup
You all may be wondering just what the shirt says… “Glen of what?” Punch it in to google and check out the breed. I was able to attend this Glen Gathering in the Bay Area a few weeks back and it was definitely pretty cool. I had only “met” a Glen Terrier a few months prior and never seen one prior. All these guys and gals had some great...

a new friend
A short but sweet post. Our house, aka YorkStation, has seen a new visitor as of late. This kitty seems to like us and our backyard. So much that we see him (or her) everday. It’s great company! Oh, and I cant forget… These are straight scans. Zero adjustments. None. Zip. Take THAT, digital!

ian, di, and an impromptu shoot in the street
A combination of Portra 160 and Portra 400 (both the “new stuff”). I was really amped to shoot the 160 on the Contax and luckily I ran into Ian and Di who volunteered their time and looks to take some shots.

wrong side of the tracks
Patrick was dying to show me “this spot by the tracks.” When I asked where this spot was, I got the “I’ll know when I see it” response. Lovely. But we found it and I understood then why he was so sure this spot was dope. Check out Patrick on twitter @patrickstern and some general info here. He’s a fellow Brotog and really knows his way around the social...

a roll of fuji and bernal
I had a roll of Fuji 400H in the M6 and it needed to be shot. For me, it’s challenging to shoot when I dont have something specific to shoot. It happened to be nice this day so I thought I’d challenge myself with this. I knew this stuff needed to be overexposed and getting these back was a reminder of that.

There was no line. That’s all I have to say for us SF folk who have ever tried to go to Outerlands in the outer sunset (as the name implies).

Summer is fantastic. SF could have been fooled a couple weeks back when we hit the beach for a little. This is why I live in California and along the coast.

meaghan, cute dogs, and the sunset
Hung out with Meaghan after some Trouble Coffee on a Sunday when we had blue skies. Now, I’m going to entertain you all by saying I did zero post production work on these. ZERO. Absolutely no retouching any of these beautiful 645 scans done by Richard Photo Lab.

stefan models
These were taken during a racing event at Thunderhill. I nabbed some shots of Stefan throughout the day and when the last qualifying session was run, we took a few minutes to strike up some winners. People exiting the track loved it! Honks, thumbs up, cheering - all of it.

some more trouble
Remember I said I’d have a follow-up to this post? Well, here it is! All shot with the new Kodak Portra 400 in 120 format. Yes, that’s medium format. Drool. The AMAZING scans were done by Richard Photo Lab. These guys are good. Do your film (and yourself) a favor and send your film to them.

a roll sent on mistake
I had ordered a roll of Fuji Velvia 50 120 but this isn’t it. This is Kodak Portra 160 NC in 35mm. Yeah, I know, way different ends of the spectrum. But why not shoot it anyway and learn me some more film?! “Masterfully” scanned at my local costco and color-corrected by me later in Aperture. Cannot wait for my RPL scans to come back!
