New Set - Intersectionary Tales #3 (Japan)

During my stay in Japan this Summer, I was preoccupied with a different photography project so I had very little time to shoot my normal "IT" photos. Still, usually while doing other stuff, I managed to scrape together enough of the urban microscapes that are my normal area of photographic interest to put together a set of three short ITs.

New Set: Dark Forest #1...

...a set of nostalgic B&W landscapes: Dark Forest: #1

I started these in late Spring as a way to work on a specific look: pin
down film stock, exposure, development, etc. I ended up liking the
first few more than anticipated so I kept on throughout the Summer and
early Fall.

At the risk of leading the viewer, I consider the primary fault in these
as a failure to convey the slightly creepy feeling of dusk in the
temperate rainforest when you know you better haul ass to keep from
stumbling around in the dark and getting lost. They ended up being too
pretty. Probably because me and the kids were having too much fun at
the time chucking rocks in the river and looking for bugs...

Tech blabal - film favorite was Fomapan 100 in Rodinal 1:50 but a couple
of these were done on Tri-X in Xtol 1:2. They were shot with a Mamiya 7
& Rollei SL66 and scanned on an Imacon 343.
