Pliny the Younger/Russian River Brewing

I recently took a tour of Russian River Brewings’ Windsor, CA location. The release of Pliny the Younger was coming to an end and I wanted to have a taste before it was all gone. I have discovered that you can try Pliny while on the tour, along with two other beers and you don’t have to wait two to four hours to make it happen.

I brought along my Leica Q2 to document the day. I love high contrast and have a preset on my camera that gives me a preview of what the images will look like. I edit from the raw files in Lightroom and use the provided black and white with red filter preset and then some minor adjustments depending on the image. I’ve been shooting Kodak black and white film for over 30 years and love the look of TriX. My digital work has always leaned toward the TriX look. I thought of purchasing the Q2 monochrome but didn’t want to be limited. I am tempted by the M10 monochrome but would have to sell a kidney to make it happen.

Without color, light and shadow is most important. Over the years I have learned what colors are darker or brighter in images. Seeing patterns of light and understanding gray scale took years. Shooting film over the years, with no electronic viewfinder to show the me the way, I learned with each roll. I remember my first mirrorless camera, the Fujifilm X100T. Seeing the digital image through the viewfinder, being able to make changes and see the results before making the image. It felt like cheating but loved it all the same. I’m jealous of photographers just starting out as the learning curves is drastically shortened by new tech. Well, new relative to my scale.

I’ve captured this staircase on more than one occasion. I would love to see what it would look like closer to sunrise or sunset. The tour doesn’t allow you to just linger. In addition, you have to hold your tasting glass throughout the tour. I could spend hours in this room making images. The metal tanks, staircase, hight ceiling. So much fun and so many angles and subjects.

People ask me why black and white? There are several reasons. The first is that it reminds me of when I was a kid, with my first camera. I was spoiled that my middle school had a dark room. Watching my film turn into an image in the chemistry, was magical. The second reason is that I see in black and white. I know that sounds strange. As I stated earlier, shooting black and white film over the years has taught me what an image will look like. I can see the image in my mind. Lastly, the distraction of color. When you look at an image, you see it differently because it is black and white. It has an old timey feel, taking you back in time. For me it is more emotional to capture images this way.

I hope you have enjoyed these images. I’ve made a short video regarding this shoot. Click here to check it out.

Until next time,

San Francisco With the Leica Q2

My favorite way to make images is to wander with my camera. I try not to have a set plan. I like the freedom to shoot what I want, when I want. Categories of photography are a constraint and I avoid them at all cost. My creativity feels stifled when there are too many rules or constraints. I took off for San Francisco to go for a walk with my Leica Q2. I did have the goal of working in black and white. Additionally I created a preset that was high contrast. I shoot in both DNG as well as JPG. The JPG, with the preset applied, gives me an idea what the creative possibilities are for the DNG file.

Deeper shadows, darker sky, texture, details pop. I love this look. I have always leaned toward more contrast in my images. For years I have shot film with a red filter on my Nikon FE2. Kodak Tri-X is my film of choice lately, which has more contrast than other film stocks. Alan Schaller is a photographer I recently discovered. His images include a ton of negative space and is rich with contrast. I have to admit that he has influenced this shoot.

This image is all about light and shadow. The strip of lit texture, negative space, a bit abstract but pleasing for me. Experimenting is key in growing as a photographer. Lately i’ve been striving to break free of conventional constraints. Thinking more creatively. Creating art with my camera is the goal. This is just one step in that process.

Understanding color in black and white photography is key. That sentence sounds funny but it is true. The building in the background is a deep red. Knowing that it will translate into a deeper shade of gray prepares me for the overall image. The shadows of the poles, the scooter, crosswalk hashmarks and the building in the background make this image more interesting or visually pleasing.

Visual oddities are worth capturing. Things that are out of the ordinary are more commonplace in a city environment. A blend of art and culture in a smaller space than other places in the world. All you have to do is look and they will present themselves.

A man standing in a booth being watched over by a honey bear in a top hat. An image I couldn’t resist. Murals like this are all over the city. It would be interesting to find the artist and discover the motivation for the art. Like the prior image, a visual oddity, open to interpretation of each passerby.

Lately i’ve been drawn to images that are looking through to the subject. In a prior post I mentioned my interest in chain link. This image reminds me of that. Patterns, light, shadow, all combining to make an image that is up to the viewer as to what it is or what it means to them. For context, this is an outdoor dining space or parklet, outside of a restaurant. For me it represents an end to the isolation we all felt during covid. Like a museum exhibit, behind a type of wall or window, to be observed, a memory to be preserved.

You may be asking yourself, what’s the purpose of all this? What do I hope to gain through this photo walk? With every image I learn something. I learn about the camera, the lens and how that combination works with light and shadow in all its’ possibilities. I learn about myself through when I choose to activate the shutter to capture the image that is preserved. I then take all that information and carry it to the next shoot, where I will try different techniques or a different location or type of lighting. The idea is to make something better each day, share my love of this craft and share the images born from that love!

Till next time,

John

Chain Link, Long Term Project

I want there to be purpose to my images. For years i’ve taken random images. Pointing my camera at things of interest as they appear before me. I never go out with a grand plan. I want to change that. Long term projects are something that I have been working toward lately. Coming up with ideas has been a struggle. I wanted to find something that I could find anywhere. Something that was creative in nature, so not simple to achieve. During my last photo walk through downtown Healdsburg I discovered several locations where chain link was involved. Several images stood out to me from that roll.

Chain link is everywhere. My goal going forward is to look for it and create interesting compositions invlolving it. I can’t wait to see what I find and where I find it.

Till next time,

That One Shot!

Out of 36 images on a roll of film I’m happy if there is one shot that I absolutely love. When I see that a new roll has been uploaded by the lab I use, i’m excited to look them over. To see my results. Hoping that the images were exposed correctly, that they are in focus. More than that I am looking for images that were the reason I took my camera out in the first place. Every time hoping to create something that resembled art. An image that was more than a snapshot. I’ve learned that if there is one image per roll of film, that I absolutely love, I am happy.

Something I love about film is that I feel more purposeful. I have 36 frames to fill. I take my time, knowing that the image is immortalized on the negative. I can’t selectively delete it. Make it disappear, as if it hadn’t happened. That difference is significant. It changes the way I shoot, the time I take to frame, focus and choose the perfect settings for that moment in time.

Digital is more forgiving. Images deleted by the 100’s, never to be seen again. Not worrying about the cost of creating many images of the same thing. The cost is for the equipment only. No processing fees, no film to buy. A benefit is that you can experiment more and learn in the moment. If it works, you know right away.

That one image, the keeper, the one that I show to friends, family and those that come across it on my social media platform of choice. An image that I'm proud to show off. That is the goal. Lately it has been at least one per roll. Sometimes more, but at least one is that image.

The above shot is one of those shots. This was taken at the Taos Pueblo. A bucket list image for me. A location i’ve wanted to shoot for years. The shadow of the ladder on the wall, the texture of the wall and the wood of the ladder. It all lined up for me.

Standing by a lake in the Sierra’s this scene presented itself. The angle of the log, the reflection in the water. The rock, adding to the scene. The bleached out color of the log prominent in the image.

The angles in this image are off a bit but that is why I love it. The reflection of the pole on the roof. The angle of the actual poll, seeming not quite right. The window frame and dark panes. The texture of the wood, weathered and battered over time. The minute I saw this image I fell in love with it.

Three different images from three different rolls of film. Each one is that one image for me. The one image that made it worthwhile to have traveled to that spot with my camera to make images. Images that remind me of why I make images. I see things in a way that is unique to me. I strive to capture that and then figure out a way to explain what I see through these images by sharing them. A glimmer of hope that may bring some emotion or positive reaction to someone somewhere. A glimpse into my mind, heart, soul, through my images.

Till next time,

John

What Kind of Photographer Am I?

@googlymonstor

Over the last ten years i’ve struggled. I’ve struggled to define my photography by a genre. Landscape, Portraits, Street Photography, Documentary etc…. This has been to my detriment. Not having a niche is damaging for creating a presence and building a following online. This seems to be the key to succeeding as a photographer in today’s world. I used to make money from my photography skills. This was during the transition from film to digital, from 2001 until 2009. As time went on, digital content and online revenue streams became just as important as in person assignments. I never gained a solid footing online and my business slowly disappeared. I’m actually ok with this. One thing I learned is that the fastest way to ruin a passion is to make it your career.

I love photography. I had to decide what that meant to me. I learned that I didn’t want to be constrained by a specific type of photography. I don’t just shoot portraits but I love portraits. I don’t just shoot landscapes but I love landscape photography. The same could be said for street. While i’m not a traditional street photographer, I love city scapes and occasionally include a person here and there. I believe I have solid skills in all of these types of photography. Why would I want to focus on one over the other? the same could be said for film vs digital. Why would I want to stop doing something that I love just because there is a new option available. Don’t get me wrong, I love the cost savings of digital as well as the ease of use for auto focus, resolution and overall benefits of new technology.

So what kind of photographer am I? I call if “Photographer GP”. There are doctors that are specialists and there are doctors that are general practitioners. I love the concept of being a general practitioner where photography is concerned. I shoot what I want, when I want and I use the tool best suited to that moment in time. I use film when I want that aesthetic but also have digital in my bag if the need arises. I have my Fujifilm X-T4 for video and landscapes. I have my Leica Q2 for everyday carry but also have the Leica M6 in my EDC bag. Portraits can be done with any camera. That’s right, I said it! Film, digital, 28mm, 35mm or even 50mm. It all depends on the style, look and feel you want from your image. So a general practitioner I am, and will continue to be. I’m willing to take the hit where popularity is concerned. Who knows, maybe I will start a trend. Open the floodgates for those that feel the same, constrained by the modern day expectation. Free yourself and your photography. Shoot whatever your heart desires. In my opinion you will be better off because of it. Follow your passion and just shoot!

Voigtlander 50mm F1.5 Nokton/Leica M6/Kodak Trix

A year and a half ago I found a used Leica M6, in perfect condition, on KEH. This was the holy grail of film cameras for me. Since then I have been playing with different lenses. I’m not in a position to purchase a Leica lens so looked for something that worked for my budget. I started with the TTartisan 50mm. I discovered that the lens isn’t calibrated out of the box and the only way to calibrate it is with a digital Leica. There are other ways but it involves manipulating a film camera in a way I wasn’t comfortable with. So I moved on to Voigtlander. I discovered the Voigtlander 35mm F1.4 Nokton and have been shooting with that for the last year. I love that lens but there was something missing. In the 80’s I bought a Nikon FE2 and it was paired with the Nikkor 50mm F1.8. I have been shooting with that combination for over 38 years. After some research and looking at my financial situation, the Voigtlander 50mm F1.5 Vintage MC lens made the most sense.

The images below are from my first roll shooting with the Voigtlander 50mm. It is more of a test roll. I prefer a more crisp, sharp and contrasty image. This is why I opted for the multi coated version instead of the single coated. Most of my life I have shot Kodak TriX and continue to do so. I love the look and feel of this film and am glad that it still exists. This first roll didn’t disappoint.

This last image is my favorite. The layers, chain link, tracks and bridge. Framed by the trees. This image and a few others from this roll have inspired a new project, shooting through chain link. While this is the first roll, I couldn’t be happier. I’m looking forward to more rolls and deeper projects with this setup.

Till next time,

Film Photography Resources

Over the last year and a half I have jumped back into film photography. I shot film from the late 70’s until 2003 and then digital took over. Recently I’ve added a new camera in addition to my Nikon FE2, purchased in 1985. The Lieca M6 has always been the holy grail of film cameras for me. I was lucky enough to find a mint condition version. It is a new way of making film images, for me, and has been so much fun to learn. I want to share with you the resources that I have used throughout the last year to help me with my journey back to shooting film.

Where I Buy Film:
Film Photography Project. Amazing selection and competitive prices, sometimes limited quantities.
Adorama. I earn points over time and can buy larger quantities than FPP.
Seawood Photo. I live in Sonoma County CA and they are about an hour south and have a great selection of film.

Where I Buy Camera Gear
KEH. This is where I found my Leica M6!
Camera Quest Voigtlander distributor.
Leica SF. The mother ship!

YouTube Channels
Paulie B Walkie Talkie. Regular videos on street photographers. Down to earth and inspiring.
Benj Heisch. Elopement and wedding photographer using primarily Leica gear.
Karin Majoka. All about film photography. More than just gear.
grainydays. Very dry sense of humor, did Ii say dry? Mojave dry, 100 year drought dry…

Other Resources
Framelines Magazine. UK based, highlights street photographers.
Coursera Modern Art Series. Helping me take my photography to the next level.
Aperture Photo Books. Inspiration.

Till Next Time!

I'm Starting YouTube Again!

Frame from my first video of 2024!

This was harder than it should have been. I know that this is something that I want to succeed at. What does success look like? I’ll tell you when it happens. There are so many variables. One Million Subs? Probably not. I’d be happy with 10k. Hoping to break 1k in the next six months. It’s going to be hard. I’m going to have to commit to making more content. Time is not on my side but it can happen. I just need to be flexible with the available time that I do have. Early mornings, late at night, breaks during the day. These will all be key to success.

Why am I doing this? It’s fun and it is a way to share my passion with the world. I’m not good at social media. I’ve always struggled at parties. I’ve never been a social butterfly. I love alone time and am very comfortable when isolated from the outside world. YouTube is just that for me. I can be alone, even isolated as I create. The social part is the posting of the video. I can respond to comments, give likes and thumbs up from a distance. All this I can do. I feel comfortable in front of a microphone. I have always felt like I have something to say. Curious to find out if anyone is actually interested. I’d like to believe that there is a tribe out there for me. I have to believe. Either way I will leave a legacy for my kids to see and share. Who was Dad? Check out his YouTube channel! That would be cool enough.

Until Next Time!

Film or Digital?

Bodie State Park, CA

Some people say why shoot film in the digital age? There are so many reasons why digital is superior. Cost is the number one reason. You can shoot as many images as you wish. No need to purchase film or pay for developing. Digital is instant. You get immediate feedback and results. The availability of new equipment and technology is yet another reason. So why whould I choose film over digital? Three reasons. The look of film is unique. It’s mechanical and it is an absolute blast!

I have never been able to edit a digital photo to look the way film does. I’ve been shooting film since the 70’s and when I load a roll of film I know what the images are going to look like before I take the shot. There is a specific look and feel of a film image. I like the grain. I like the colors that Fuji 400 creates vs. the colors of Portra 400. I love shooting with Kodak TriX and know that I am going to obtain the black and white look that I want.

I enjoy the mechanical feel of an old camera. I’m in control of the exposure triangle. ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed. I like to wind the film and reset the shutter. I love the sound my camera makes when I click the release button to make an image. Manual focus is fantastic and the only option on the film cameras I own. I feel that I am more of the process than the camera when using a film camera.

Lastly, it’s fun. It is something different, and a refreshing change after shooting digital for so many years. I’m not giving up digital by any stretch. I continue to use my digital cameras. What has changed is that I always take my film camera with me as well. There will always be shots that I want on film. Images of my kids on film take me back to when I was young. It’s nostalgic. I enjoy waiting for the images and the excitement when they arrive.

So I choose both film and digital. They can live side by side. You can shoot both and enjoy both. I recommend if you are new to photography, pick up a cheap film camera that has manual controls. Take a digital camera with you and compare the images. You may be shocked by your results. You might also learn a thing or two about photography in the process.

Until Tomorrow,

John

Yosemite!

Every time I visit this valley I see it in a new way. Yosemite is a living, breathing entity in my. mind. I have stood on this same spot so many times. Each time I see something new and different. A storm was clearing and I felt lucky to be there at just that moment to capture this image. Next time it may be a different image, a different part of the valley, that will be the focus. What I know for sure is that I will have the same awe of this landscape no matter how many times I return. And return I will, again and again.

Until Tomorrow,

John

The Fog!

I used to live in San Francisco. Some days I would ride my bike over the bridge down into Sausalito and over to Tiburon. One o the things I loved was the fog. The bridge would either be socked in or like the image above. Arriving in Sausalito usually meant sunshine. Fog has its’ own power, wind and cold in addition to changing visibility. This is the beauty of fog. It is as much San Francisco as the Golden Gate Bridge or Coit Tower.

There is much beauty in this world. The natural elements that exist around us create opportunities for art. Photography, painting, whatever your medium, views that inspire are everywhere. As I rode across this bridge I soaked up the Bay, Alcatraz, sail boats and these beautiful towers. Sometimes we forget to look around, to enjoy the beauty of where we are or the amazing people that we encounter. The image above is yet another example of capturing beauty that I see. Something that has meaning to me. The image above sparks memories of the city and possibilities of the adventures to come. I can feel the cold air on my face, the wind slowing my progress, the sounds of cars traveling. This image speaks to me.

Today, take out your phone or camera and capture something, anything, that speaks to you. It could be a person, place or even your favorite sandwich. Everyone has something, what is yours?

Until Tomorrow,

John

The Decisive Moment!

Vancouver, BC

Cartier Bresson talks about the decisive moment in photography. The moment when subjects and surroundings align and you click the shutter to capture the image. Umbrellas are a theme in street photography. They add to an image and create a story. I was wandering around Gastown in Vancouver looking for images and this presented itself. I was lucky enough to click the shutter at just the right moment with umbrellas evenly spaced, walking down this alley, streetlights visible. I loved the geometry of the buildings and the bridges that connect them. The wet ground adds a nice touch as well.

Sometimes you capture the decisive moment and sometimes you don’t. With the image above I believe I did. What do you think?

Until Tomorrow,

John

My Love Of Film Photography!

This image isn’t perfect and that is why I love it. Sometimes imperfections are what make things perfect. The grain, the color, the nostalgic feel of this image. While it was taken recently, it takes me back. It takes me back to a time and place of my youth. A time when film was the only option. When the camera was simpler. There weren’t menus to navigate. There was no screen to look at to see if you got the image. You just believed that it would be there. That moment in time captured on a flexible piece od plastic with chemistry on it. I love that I can still do this. An old camera in the hands of an older, ehem, Man. I will continue to shoot film as long as it exists and there is chemistry to develop it. I find comfort in holding my old camera and using all of its’ manual controls. It brings me joy!

Until Tomorrow,

John

Fall!

Fall is in full swing here in the wine country. Reds, yellows, browns, fill the scenery. Days are shorter and the rain has slowly made its way into the forecast. I’ll admit I love the cold, waking up to crisp mornings, knowing that the peaks will soon have snow on them. This season creates so many visuals for photographers.

Fall leaves make for amazing subjects. The leaf in the image above was found on a sidewalk after lunch with my Wife. I had to bring it home. I know there will be someone that wonders why I shot it in black and white. For me it is about the texture of the leaf, the veins, the edges and the details. Yes fall has vibrant colors and many photographers capture just that. I see things different.

Fall also signals the end of the year. A time for reflection, as well as future direction. This year has been tough for me. I’ve been dealing with pain for most of the year. In October I had my hip replaced. This was due to a defect at birth that finally had to be dealt with. The recovery has been slow but steady. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Looking to 2024 I hope to create more. Make more images as well as video content. I’m not gong to make any promises or projections but just take it as it goes. I’m enjoying my photography more and more and look forward to what is next.

Until Tomorrow,

John

Not Quite A Daily Blog!

This was harder than I thought. It’s not impossible but definitely a challenge. I’m up for a challenge. Creating habits takes time. Writing every day is something that I can do. Making it interesting and having content that is engaging or informative every day is more of a challenge. Seth Godin was my model. He has been daily blogging for several years. He has this down to a science. I’m setting three goals for myself to try this again. Pick a time to blog, don’t always include images and have fun!

Picking a time is hard but doable. I have a fluctuating schedule but it is possible to choose a time of day, every day, to blog. I think this is the key to making this happen. If I sit down every day at the same time, set aside this time for this and this alone, it will work. Every morning I sit in my office with my coffee and breakfast, before I go to work. This is the perfect time to write. I usually spend it consuming content, whether it be news, new YouTube videos, blogs, etc. I think we all do this instead of creating content. I know i’m better served if I create something vs. consuming something.

The second step is that I don’t always have to have an image to share. I do have a ton of images, on hard drives, to choose from. It can be time consuming to choose just the right image. I have to realize that words are enough. I could even choose several images when I have down time and stack them up to use with each blog. The idea being that the image has something to do with what i’m writing. There are many ways to accomplish this. Writing about a photo adventure is an easy one. Another is to explain why I took a particular image or the thought process of editing or composition. I tend to overthink things to the point of paralysis. That needs to stop.

The last is to just have fun. Most of my adult life I have worried to much about what others think. I have stifled my creativity because I believed that I would be ridiculed or made fun of, not taken seriously. Art is something that is outside of the box by its’ very nature. It is making something from nothing but an idea in your mind. You are only constrained by your imagination. The problem is that your imagination is narrowed by your world experiences, but only if you let it. I’m learning that I can be free. I can express myself any way I want. I just need to make it happen. I am the only person standing in my way!

So once again I am jumping into daily blogging!

Until Tomorrow,

John

Why Do We Post On Social Media?

I’ve been asking myself that question a lot lately. What is the importance of social media? Why do we feel the need to like, comment and share or even create a new post? For some it is a connection to the outside world. A way to share what is new in their life with family and friends. For others it is the idea of fame and monetization. For others it is a way to share their art. A way to show the world their creativity whether it be photography, digital media, paintings or sculptures. What is the impact of these sites on all of us, what has it become in our lives?

I’m definitely not going to be able to address that last question here. What I can say is what it represents for me. First off, I don’t care how many people like, comment or share my work. If that happens, great. If not, it’s not the end of my work. It doesn’t discourage me. I will continue to create my work and share it out. I figure what is the purpose of my work if nobody sees it. This way there is a chance. There is a chance that just one person might enjoy it, one person might find inspiration, or even just take the time to enjoy one of my images for more than a quick swipe of the screen.

I’ve been studying other artists that I admire, Georgia O’Keeffe, Cartier Bresson, Ansel Adams. They all seem to have one thing in common. They didn’t care what other people were doing. They weren’t following the latest trends, they just created their art the way they wanted to. My take away is that I need to think outside the box. I need to do my own thing, follow my heart and my passion. Keep capturing the things that resonate with me. Quiet the voices of all the people that are saying to do this or that. This is my art, not theirs and it will forever be, because of me!

Until Tomorrow,

John

Images Are Everywhere!

Eagle Lake, Desolation Wilderness, CA

Everywhere you go there is an image to be made. As we walk through the world, we miss so much. We move from point A to point B and focus on the destination. We miss so much along the way. I like to stop and listen, look around and absorb all that is around me. Some would say that is a distraction from the goal. I would say that that is part of the goal. The destination is just as important as the journey.

I don’t know about you but I have so many stories of events that occurred during the journey. Everything from flat tires, unexpected pit stops, amazing conversations that started in the back seat. Even the vehicle that i’ve travelled in is part of the story.

The above image is a shoreline of an amazing lake near Lake Tahoe. This lake is on the way to some amazing destinations within Desolation Wilderness. I make a point to stop at this lake every chance I get, no matter the destination, if it is anywhere near. I soak up its’ beauty. I’ve made so many images of it but this one is my favorite. Something about the granite, the color of the water, the curve of the shore and the reflections of sunlight. Every time I am there I notice something different.

So take the time to look around, soak it all in, be an observer on the way to wherever you may be going. You never know what you might notice or capture in that amazing moment.

Until Tomorrow,

John

Joy!

This image brings joy to my heart! My Boys, in a place that is special to me and yes I posed them. I will always have this image, this memory, this moment, forever!

I share places with them that have meaning to me. This perch, overlooking Donner Lake, is one that I have returned to again and again, throughout my life. I’ve stood on this spot before they were even a thought and I know that I will be back, right there, again. I want them to know who I am through the places that bring me joy. I hope some day they find their place. A spot that resonates with who they are and what they hope to be. A place that comforts when things are tough but also a place to go to contemplate success. I hope they find a place where they can experience joy the way I have.

Until Tomorrow,

John

The Doomscroll!

Taos Pueblo, NM

I had heard the term but didn’t really know what it meant. I learned recently that it is the late night habit of scrolling through the, nearly endless, stream of bad news that is available on social media or other online locations. With everything that is going on lately it is easier and easier to fall into the pit of despair that is our online experience. This post is about the exact opposite of that. I have something to ask of you.

It will probably only take a few minutes of your time and a little of your good will. I ask that you find a creator that you love online, it can be a photographer, videographer, artist or anyone else that is creating content that makes you smile, that brings joy into your life. When you decide who that is, go to one of their posts and like and comment on it. Tell them how it makes you feel, why you love their work or other kind words. It will make their day. I also ask that it not be me. While I would appreciate the kind words, this post isn’t about me. This post is about all of those creators that may never hear from people, or may need a lift today because they were doomscrolling themselves. Spread a little love across the beautiful part of this amazing technology!

Until Tomorrow,

John
