More Black & White Portraits

A couple years ago I put up a bunch of my 35mm black and white portraits and today I am updating that gallery with a bunch of new pictures. I don’t shoot it very often, maybe 10 rolls a year, but from time to time I shoot some b&w film to keep me in touch with my roots or something. I learned to shoot on b&w film and spent countless hours of my life in the darkroom developing it. I have no interest ever stepping back in a darkroom but shooting in b&w makes you think about light a little differently and it’s a refreshing look compared to black and white digital which in my opinion looks fucking terrible.

Since my last update I haven’t shot that much film. I shot a few rolls on my Route 66 trip and I shot a couple rolls of Charlotte Stokely during our Joshua Tree adventure and there were a few other rolls in my archives. Recently though my friend Mike gave me a few rolls so I was inspired to shoot a bunch of film at SXSW. I mostly shot portraits of actors at the festival when doing my film portrait gallery for Voice Media but I also shot a roll and a half during the music week.

I think there are a few nice shots in here and I figured I would give you guys a chance to look at something other than digital photos parties and naked babes. (I also posted a nude b&w portrait update a couple years ago btw.) I also wanted to give you guys something before I left town for a white.

Headed to LA tomorrow on what was supposed to be a vacation but after destroying my computer and having to pay my taxes I am pretty fucking broke and will probably be working a bunch while I am out there (If anyone needs a photog for a Coachella party this weekend get at me!). I got a couple Hustler gigs lined up and might even shoot a party or two. Not sure how much I will have time to update while I am out there but I have a pretty nice girl gallery ready to go so you will at least get that soon.

Anyway, I got a bunch of work to do before I leave town so I am gonna shut the fuck up and let you look at pictures.
