If you've followed my blog for awhile now, you've seen this man before. I had the pleasure of working with David on a video project recently and took the opportunity to shoot some new stills of him. The video project consisted of several monologues he wrote mostly for the purpose of testing lighting and audio settings in the studio. He performed several different characters throughout the evening, and these two images stood out to me. The first image was shot with my Nikon F5 on 35mm, and the second is a digital capture. Look for the monologues to be posted soon as well.

This image of my brother came about last week.  He came by to visit and I had recently purchased the Nikon F5 pictured earlier in the blog.  I loaded the only roll of film I happened to have, Fuji Superia 400 from at least 8 years ago, and shot him near a window.  We rushed out to the nearest Walgreens to have the film developed! They offered to scan the negatives to a disc, and I was happy to let them.  An hour later, I picked up the film.  I particularly like his stare in this image.  It reminds me of the old tintypes of early western settlers from history books.

That's right, it's a film camera! And not just any film camera, the baddest ass 35mm camera to ever capture a frame! I'm so excited to own it, and this beast can be purchased for merely a fraction of it's original price! For those who are interested, click the links for all the reasons the Nikon F5 has been called "The king of Nikon film cameras".
