12 Frames of My Family
We just returned from a trip to Santa Cruz, where Chenin had an engagement session. I still love using the Rollei as a vacation camera, because I never do any “serious” photography with it, so it doesn’t feel like work to shoot with it. I also like shooting 120 because you have few enough frames that you commit to each one (unlike digital / 35mm), but not so few that you don’t end up shooting anything (like sheet film). Anyway, we did a little impromptu portrait session in some of the tall grass near Steamer Lane as the sun was setting behind. There’s something to be said for making each frame count… if only because it makes for a cool looking contact sheet.

I never once considered shooting film, but the more I look at your beautiful images, the more I think I may actually like it…
bw, film, medium format = art, and these are beautiful shots.
Love the simplicity wet the gorgeous setup it made to capture such a familiar feeling for your love ones. Great, as always.
