Set & setting: For a few evenings in the late fall of 2024 pollution concentrated around the gas refineries of North Salt lake, just east of the Great Salt Lake, limiting visibility to 300 feet.
The third and last night I remembered I was a photographer and begged my first born to throw on my sweater. She was reticent bc finals and time and cold but she eventually got it and complied. It was almost sunset….let’s go.
Matthew and I took her a few blocks from home to a community park where the dense inversion limited visibility and passed for fog. Looking at these I can still hear the voice of the guy prophet passerby who yelled across the parking lot, from the edge of visibility, “WHATEVER ART YOU’RE MAKING IS GONNA BE AWESOME!”
Film notes: Shot on the Rolleiflex 6001with Lomo 800 medium format film rated at 400 ISO pushed 1 stop in developing. These are standard scans, scanned at The Find Lab. I switched from Noritsu to the Frontier a few months ago after the lab posted some side by sides, I realized I was scanning on the Noritsu then editing to look like Frontier. This has saved me a few mins here or there on editing (yes, film photographers still CAN and often DO edit) and the scans arrive in my inbox looking spot on if not damned close to how I want em.
